For The Love of Cows

 I have always had an infinity for pigs, roosters and cows. If you come to our home you will spot at least one of each somewhere.

 Over the past few years I have been adding to my cow collection to Mr. Front Porches dismay. We live in Texas so it is kinda hard not to collect cows!;)

Bessie use to hang out in our foyer. She has since found a new spot on the house.

My favorite cow pieces are those that are vintage finds like this pastoral scene.

Here is another vintage find, a glass cow salt cellar. I have more to share on salt cellars on another day.

Right now if I had to pick a favorite cow in my collection I would have to say this piece would be it.

I found him this past summer while antiquing in Atlanta. When I first picked him up I thought he was just a porcelain cow. Upon further inspection I saw that he was vintage bank. The only way to get  your money back out of him is to break him. Needless to say I will not be making any deposits.

So what do you collect?

  1. I'll say Mooo, to that! I love them too, and that little wreath is so much fun. I have that same vintage print of the English landscape. You have a great collection!

  9. What a moooooooooooooooooving post! I love cows, but I collect chickens! The thing about collecting something, is that when other people find out that you "collect" something, all of their unwanted members come a calling at your doorstep! I can't tell you how many times I have simply opened my front door to go outside to find a ceramic chicken on my porch, poised and staring at me with those little beady chicken eyes, begging me to take them inside...............cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck....peep!
