Last week I actually passed up a chippy green watering can,
pretty unusual for me.
From my header you know I love them
the big ones sit on the garden bench or back porch and are used to catch some rain water.
Others live on the back porch, found rusty
Special ones live in the Garden Cottage
one of my favorites
Some have flowers
Some have animals
or Fairy tale type characters
some have writing
My other favorite one
isn't she cheerful?
Oh the garden shed needs a good cleaning, cob webs, leaves how did they get in there?
this one came back in my luggage from France!
the spout comes off
Even the lamps are watering cans
wall pocket watering can
a old tobacco drying rack hangs up smaller ones on the cottage porch
So where have I been?
Saturday our Charleston Riot Committee received
"Superior Achievement Award"
From the IL State Historical Society
Springfield is all abuzz getting ready for the Lincoln Funeral
I was able to grab a shot of Lincoln's home with mourning drape.
I start vacation Friday and will be going to 1515 because the
Lincoln Funeral Train is coming to Charleston after it leaves Springfield!
Lincoln Funeral Train is coming to Charleston after it leaves Springfield!
So I will be conducting tours and wrangling visitors.
Hope you enjoyed the watering cans

Hi Ann, your watering can are wonderful!! I had always admired the ones in your header but I had no idea you had so many everywhere else too!! I especially like all of those play size watering cans with the nursery rhyme motifs on them. Very cute! Your shed looks and sounds like such a dreamy place to be.
That sounds like fun to be involved in the Lincoln funeral, I had never seen mourning garland on a house before, that looks neat.
Thanks for sharing with us what you've been up to, it's always a pleasure to read your blog.
Take care,
Gina
What a fabulous collection of watering cans! Amazingly hard to find around here. Have you had most of them for awhile?
I would love to take your tour. You wouldn't even have to wrangle me, lol. Congrats on the award.
What a wonderful collection of watering can! You have opened my eyes to the beauty of them, I'm on the lookout some. Congratulations on your award, well deserved!
What a great collection of watering cans you have, Ann! My favorite is the French one, of course:) Congrats on your award, that is awesome!
What a wonderful collection. I had one hat had the Mistress Mary on it that you have. I was about 8 or 9 when I got it, I think. Wish I still had it.
You have been a busy girl. Glad to see you! xo Diana
You have quite a collection of watering cans. I didn't know. I especially like the children's cans. My daughters each had the green one with the colorful tulips on it. I think I bought them for the girls for Easter. Lincolin's house is grand. I'd like to see it some day.
Great collection of cans, but I'm more excited about the funeral train. Sounds weird to say, but that sounds like so much fun !!! Enjoy!
Ann, I have wondered since following your blog, if those were your watering cans. I am blown away by the amount of wonderful watering cans you own. Every ones is a treasure. I love you shed and all the nice flowers around it. That is a beautiful home. I have seen wreaths with black banners but never garland. Blessings to you, hope you are feeling great. xoxo,Susie

You have a lovely and extensive collection of watering cans, especially the ones in the first photo.
Featuring this post as my Pick of the Week Love it! I have a few watering cans but your collection is fabulous!
Oh my gosh Ann, you have an amazing collection! I love them too, but do not have nearly as many as you. I seldom run across the child sized cans. I have the same one with the pansies and my sis has the one with the tulips. I would not be able to pass up an unusual or chippy one. Your favorites are mine as well and I love the one from France!
hugs,
Jann
