I can't possibly express in words how truly magical the experience of an Heart of Ohio Antique Mall visit truly is; but I do hope that these slightly blurry photographs make your heart sigh with delight as mine did today.
If there is something special that you love to collect, you will find not just one or two selections to choose from but dozens upon dozens. In fact, you might not be able to choose at all for fear the one you have left behind is possibly the one you should have chosen instead.
I have loved head vases since I was a young girl and my mother took me to a florist supply shop tucked away amidst a group of seemingly all the same buildings that didn't draw any attention to itself at all. I can't recall now why my mother visited this place so often, but I know her time there took overlong leaving me to wander the rows upon rows of tables filled with head vases of every sort.
So many of these vases I recall from my visits to the supply store, that I am immediately transported to that time and place and am filled with the same "Oh My!" as I was then.
As you can see by the price tags, you can spend a lot of money or a lot a lot of money in building your own collection.
I have held on to my Kitty Bartholomew's Decorating Style book for such a long time now with the hope of one day having a collection of head vases and displaying them as she charminly has done in her own spare bedroom. Sweet Dreams, a must!
For now I must be content to press my camera against the glass case of this fantastical display and whisper to myself, "Oh My!" and hope that you will have enjoyed them as well!
