VINTAGE THINGIES THURSDAY: Bear Planters

Regarding the disappearing Vintage Thingie Thursday Button:

It is my conclusion that the problem many of you are having with the Vintage Thingie Thursday button disappearing from your blog is the same problem I have had. I think that the reason that is happening is because it is the original button used by the original hostess of this wonderful weekly event and for some reason, I think the image was deleted from the Apron Queen's hosting site.....Thus....the disappearing button.

To rectify that:
1. Save the image on this post to your computer.
2. Go to your add page layout page and click on the sidebar Add Gadget. 3. scroll down to where you see add picture, click on that. Now select the image from you computer to download. Now, add my blog link in the link window and click save.
That should correct the problem, and the photo should show up and link back to my blog. Sorry for the confusion on this, it has taken me a while to get this sorted out to work again.

If you are new and would like to participate in VTT, the clear instructions are posted at the end of this post this week. We would love to have you join us.

This week, I would like to show you my vintage bear planters. You know I love bears and I also have several vintage planters, these are just the ones that have bears as a theme.

I just love this little Davey Crockett guy hunting for a bear, and the bear has him fooled and is hiding....this is a eBay purchase several years ago...I just love it.

These two are showing little black bears. I like the one with the bee on his nose from stealing honey.......

This happy little bear enjoys laying inside a felled log......look how happy he looks.

I really think this one is so cute, shows the back side and the head of the bear as he climbs in a log, this one is one of my favorites.

This is another happy little bear. I think this one was a eBay purchase too, and if memory serves me correctly, I think I paid about $15.00 for this one. I thought it was unusual and loved the little cub on top of the log.

This is the marking on the bottom of the last planter, none of the other bear planters have markings on them.

Hope you enjoyed these little planters to day. If you would like to participate in today's event, please follow the guidelines below!

    I'd love to join one of these days. I think I need to make a list of all of the events and combine them.

  34. These planters are so adorable! I wasn't able to get anything together for VTT this week! So sad! I'm sure I'll find something fun for next week, though!!!

  35. Love your planters... I did a post this morning about nesting and buying too too too much. And posted some things I need to let go.

    Or that I'm considering letting go of. I think the flip side of the buying is that I've bought too much because I see something and grab it before it gets away!

    sigh.

  36. Some of these would be cute with a little plant. However, with your "children", I am sure they would find a way to end that. I like them all. As you know I enjoy anything to do with plants.

  37. How cute!!!
    thanks for sharing!!

  38. Hi Suzanne, Your bear planters are so adorable. I can't believe I haven't seen them before now. Your collection is very special. There is a Shafer and Vader company that makes unusual figurines. I wonder if this is one of them. I will try and find out for you. My sisters know a lot about that company. They are antique dealers for twenty plus years.This week they are doing a show in Atlanta. I will have to ask them next week.

    Love your post today.

    Hugs...Jeanne

  40. Oh how cute -- I don't think I've ever seen bear planters, but I sure do remember similar planters in houses when I was a kid -- What fun to be the lucky designer who made a living dreaming up these cute, and witty, things.
    Thanks -- love the trip down memory lane. :-)

  41. Love the bear with the bee on his nose - that is one I'd love to have!!! So sweet! I have a small collection of larger bears. Found a small chalkware one, but DH would not agree to let me purchase it - he thought it looked 'tacky'! MEN! Who advised them that their vote should count, anyways???

  42. They are so sweet and cute. What treasures.

Sometimes someone says something really small, and it's like it fits into this empty space in your heart!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts here, they really mean a lot to me!
