Step back into the 1950s with this whimsical vintage ceramic planter shaped like a little boot, complete with cheerful mice peeking out. Finished in soft pastel pink, blue, and yellow, this mid-century piece was originally made as a nursery decoration or baby shower gift.

Perfect for use as a small planter, candy holder, or simply displayed as a charming piece of retro décor. A sweet collectible for fans of kitschy mid-century ceramics, nursery themes, or animal lovers.

I love hunting for treasures and finding bargains. I am very busy with three parents/in laws all in their 80s and the most wonderful six year old grandson with autism. Digging for vintage treasures is a little "me time" and I'm looking forward to sharing them with everyone through Secondhand Squad.
