These boots were made for displayin'

Oh my goodness! Not only is the weather outside deliciously spring like, but on my quick little jaunt through the thrift store today I found these little gems:

They look like so much like real little wellies that at first I thought someone had placed them in the the wrong department. But they're not real boots, they're ceramic vase-like creatures. My heart goes pitter patter just looking at them. Yes, I'm a dork, but that was already established a few posts ago so no need to rehash that whole business.

Now, I can't decide if I want them to go in the mud room or take them to the lake. I'm thinking I should keep them here because when real spring comes they will look adorable holding a bouquet of tulips on my kitchen table. I also got that vintage banker's box that looks a little like a tackle box. That's what made me think the lake might be a good place for them--you know a little fisherman's vignette. Decisions, decisions.
