Oh my goodness! I was just reading Woolly Wednesday, one of the blogs that I follow, and nearly fell off my chair! I enjoy Jane’s posts and her mug cosy in the post is lovely. But the amazing thing is here, lurking in the photo I had to immediately run downstairs to take:
Jane – if you’re reading this, can you see what I see?
Is that the same bowl that you planted your primulas in? Mine has a Christmas cactus (an offshoot I’m cultivating) and sits in my porch.
I know that I shouldn’t be too surprised as the bowl isn’t an exceptionally rare item. But, it’s just lovely to see that someone I only know from the blogosphere has similar taste. Not just the same item but putting it to the same use!
I bought the bowl as part of a job lot of crockery at an auction last year. I think I paid just over £5 for a whole load of items. Some I’ve kept, some I gave to my son, some are destined for the charity shop when it reopens.
Seeing Jane’s bowl in her photo has really made my day!
How funny 😁

And just to make this even odder, I saw the same bowl when shopping in Lidl today! It had some tulip bulbs in it. Quite appropriate really seeing as the bowl has a Dutch theme decorating it.

I am glad you enjoyed my post. I am sure they have made millions of these bowls. I wonder who else out there has got one 😂
