It also really reminds one of the endless possibilities that come with resourcefulness

I found one other set of these a year or two ago and have kept a keen eye out since

who also points to one in the Gettysburg Museum collection

The U shaped loop/handle at top would make it an easily one to hang mid-air

Exuberant Stalk of Flowers in Dated, Flower Decorated Vase, 1905 Ink and Crayon Drawing, JH Adair, PA claw feet It also really reminds oneOne of a couple more today by a young J. H Adair of Spring Grove, PA, c. 1905, which I purchased together; just my sort of drawings. I'll always say yes to an exuberant drawing of a bunch of flowers, especially ones with red stems and purples leaves and green petals! And I particularly love that the vase here was used to draw yet more flowers! A good spot for marking the year, too. Feels heartening to encounter them still blooming 120 years later. 8 3
