<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, do you remember <a href="http://abodelove.blogspot.com/2011/02/puppy-planter.html">this post about the ceramic puppy planters?</a> Well... I was beyond inspired by Jeff Koons puppy planters ($7500.00-- I know, right? too. freakin. expensive.) and wanted to show all of my abode lovers some great <i>(and much cheaper)</i> options via <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>. I didn't include two pups that I loved and found on Etsy because <i>I purchased them for myself! </i>(thank you ETSY!) So... check out my fabulous ceramic pups... they look JUST like<i> Lady</i>, my cocker spaniel. They also came in <i>just over</i> $20... go me!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These new blooms are from my backyard... I'm pretty sure the yellow "flowers" are actually weeds.... but hey, it works! It's nice to be able to walk into the backyard for fresh flowers, they're free!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivE-bCDUcZY_qeOkMsElwawngo7Q8scxj-AYbBm7C8-dwkcyvItK-6MA0zrBHcnt0NGmcDGGXd9QYA-qAbi55-yYfKcYSIr3bJN7zyE-4JJmOrXn1SJoTakGcrSyaPg3UziDgVhYu6tto1/s1600/abodelove_ceramic+dog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivE-bCDUcZY_qeOkMsElwawngo7Q8scxj-AYbBm7C8-dwkcyvItK-6MA0zrBHcnt0NGmcDGGXd9QYA-qAbi55-yYfKcYSIr3bJN7zyE-4JJmOrXn1SJoTakGcrSyaPg3UziDgVhYu6tto1/s640/abodelove_ceramic+dog.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Here is another view of this precious little ceramic cocker spaniel planter.

puppy planter...

Anyone heard of Jeff Koons? Well, I hadn't until a few days ago- and now, of course, I'm obsessed. <i>Unfortunately</i>. Jeff Koons is a modern artist who created a puppy vase that I can no longer live without. I thought that surely I would be able to find one of these- but they're just a tad out of my price range... There was a re-release of 3000 puppies at $7,500 per pup, so, once again.... it's a tad out of my price range.<br /><br />Here are a few lovely spaces that made me fall in love with this white, ceramic pup!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggRN4MlvBNihfiskqPGmb_aDOceGRl_OfjTetOC7DDhn7zdFrUZ2CQxDNsmDtIUOKPb_lSUNP1ou3TT5DlxVKBeGDqam1fgSdgjF1mjCZ6JHzo-zGTEuW3fc7wXUTJbfNKoWFmPBXRLEeJ/s1600/dsc01490.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggRN4MlvBNihfiskqPGmb_aDOceGRl_OfjTetOC7DDhn7zdFrUZ2CQxDNsmDtIUOKPb_lSUNP1ou3TT5DlxVKBeGDqam1fgSdgjF1mjCZ6JHzo-zGTEuW3fc7wXUTJbfNKoWFmPBXRLEeJ/s640/dsc01490.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I adore this image...

I really wanted to mix things up a bit- and I believe this fabric was the answer to my prayers!
