Sweaty Pig Planter

I actually saw two versions of this planter this past weekend, one with bright colors and then this one with more subdued (and fewer) colors.  The brightly colored one was too expensive, so I bought this one instead.   Mr. Pig has his hat in one hand, and is wiping the sweat from his brow with a hankie in the other.

His little back has suspenders

    Adorable! Love the sweaty pig.

    I personally hate sweating. I need to change clothes immediately unless I’m painting or working outside and then it feels good and part of the job to sweat.

    The suspenders are nice touch. Also love the way eyelashes are painted.

    What was the price difference between the brighter, more expensive one and this one? I would’ve probably gone with the muted as well. Faded feels more vintage.

    I love these little ceramic planters and there are so many styles. I’ve been collecting these for a while, mostly from thrift stores – whenever I see a cool one or reasonably priced. I want to put little odd cactuses in them…
