Yearn for an urn?

A couple of days ago I stopped by a favorite place, Market Imports, located at the city's large State Farmers' Market. Here you will find two acres of imports including antique European furniture, and vintage and reproduction garden and architectural elements for home and garden from around the world including England, France, India, Mexico, Belgium, Indonesia and China.

My first stop was in the vast outdoor area to spend an hour drooling over the many beautiful iron urns and containers for the garden, in colors from deep rust and creamy white, to French gray, verdigris green and even combinations..........

..........such as rusty French gray!

I felt I'd died and gone to heaven when I saw these above ~ look at that delightful embossed swag decoration!

These above and below also had that French garden look ~ I could see them filled with lavender and purple blooming rosemary.

Strolling along the long rows of empty urns on a very hot, sultry afternoon made one wish for green plants to plant, butterflies to fill the air with colored gossamer wings, bumble bees, and trickling water....oh yes, gallons of water!

Rust is a hot color, literally, but with a slim green conifer centered, creamy variegated ivy, hot yellow lantana and purple petunias draping over the sides, wouldn't these urns look stunning?

I enjoy many urns around my home and garden, see here, and would just love to add some of these beauties one day.

I'll take a short break here while pondering how I might need to hire a forklift and large truck to get this urn to my garden..........this is NOT one of those lightweight resin knock offs, this is the real iron thing! If we're ready to risk a heart attack moving one, how about making it a pair for the front entryway. Oops, forgot, I live in a cottage, not a castle!

Will be back soon to show you many more fabulous treasures, iron, wood, glass, tin, some huge, some small, from Market Imports. You will love everything.
