Lastly, if you link in, LINK back to my blog, so everyone can see all of the vintage goodies being showed that day. If you don't link back here, they won't know who to visit......thanks so much.

Let me first off state for the record, I DO NOT collect pigs!!! Even if we all know that three or more of something does constitute a collection, I DO NOT collect pigs. It just seems I have a few that live in my house and I enjoy very much.

I have had these little salt and pepper shakers for a long time.I found them at an estate sale a few years back and think I might have paid around $3.00 for them.

This little pig pitcher was one of the first pigs I think I ever purchased. I found him in a  clearance booth at a local antique mall in Ft. Worth well over 10 years ago. I thought he was so cute.

This is a very special cookie jar to me. It belonged to a family member's mother and I was thrilled when I was the lucky recipient of this great little pig. He is very old, and full of charm.

There is lots of crazing on this cookie jar and chippy paint and some of the glaze has worn off in some places. He is VERY heavy, and I don't use him for fear of damaging him further, but I do enjoy him very much and he is a special piece.

This is another salt and pepper set that I found at an estate sale. I loved the soft pink colors on these little pigs.

These two little musical pigs were Goodwill finds. I think one of the pigs is missing his instrument, but they were cute and stamped Japan on the bottom. I knew they were old, so they came home with me for a whole 50 cents.

I honestly, can not remember where this pig came from.....my memory fails me. This little guy is a bank. A very old bank. No stopper on the bottom of this guy. My daughter has a large collection of pigs, and at first I thought this might be one of hers, but I don't think so, I must have picked this one up somewhere on my treasure hunting.

The back side has a cute little curly-Q tail and it is stamped on the bottom "made in Japan"

Hope you enjoyed my "not a collection" of pigs today. I had not idea until I started looking for something to post about today I had so many......imagine that! Have a great weekend everyone....it will be a busy one here. Lots to do and not enough time to do it in....ever have one of those weekends???

Thanks for stopping by today and linking in to Vintage Thingie Thursday!!! See ya' next week for more vintage goodies!!
