This spring I made an oath to myself NOT to be swayed into purchasing another vintage watering can unless it was very different from any others in my collection.
I think you know where this is going. Yep ~ that very circumstance occurred yesterday while out junking!
How cool is the "rose" on this can???!!
No way I could pass it up. I haven't ever seen one like it before, have you??
I wish I could try watering with it to see how well this shape works but unfortunately, the bottom of the can is rusted thru.
I noticed the name "Sherman" on the back side of the rose & tried googling it but couldn't find anything??
hmmm. It even has Regis curious!
Vintage watering cans can be pretty pricey (as those of you who collect them know.) This one was originally $29.00 but I got it for 40% off!
Now to find just the right place for it in the garden!
WOW - now I see what you are so excited about. I have never seen one like this. And to get it on sale - what a find! Love the photo of the can and Regis. Is that a new bistro set? As usual, I love all of your photos.

I didn't realize they were that expensive. Seems like a great idea for a collection! That is a nifty one!

Oh what a great find Kathleen. I love that water can. I would have not been able to resist either. I am so tickled to get some of your seeds. I will love putting them in my Friendship garden. I think it was my header picture where you might have saw the Elodie lily.I have had it up before on the blog. Have a wonderful week.

Love the new watering can. The square spray nozzle is very unique.
