Found at my local Goodwill. The bottom says “Dot People’s 1962” on it. I’m not sure where it’s from but I love blue and I love strawberries, so it’s perfect to me!

While thrifting over the weekend I found this framed ceramic plaque of, what I assume must be, children pronouncing their vowels? Im guessing this was a teaching tool. I’m not entirely sure. I did my best to find something similar online, but I didn’t have much luck. Whatever it is, it’s weird, it’s creepy looking, and I love it. For just $20, it definitely came home with me!

Post edited to say thank you for all the kind comments! Y’all are an amazing group! As an update, while Gal #2 still wonders where her earrings are, she is in no hurry to replace them. She’s too busy enjoying life and is kind of relishing in the consternation her shelf mate is experiencing. 🤭
After I had surgery at the age of 13, my father’s co-worker brought flowers to the hospital and they were in a vase similar to the lady on the left. I kept her through the years, though my children were always slightly afraid of her. I lost her to a house fire in 2017, but my son saw a similar vase and bought her for me. I told him I was interested in collecting additional head vases, so he and his wife gave me the one on the right for Christmas last year. They didn’t realize her earrings were missing.
They now sit side by side on the shelf, with Gal #1, in her turtleneck, pearls, and pearl drop earrings, silently judging Gal #2 for her slightly disheveled hair and missing earrings as if she took the walk of shame, leaving some items behind.
(Gal #1 also secretly wishes she could lose the turtleneck and let her hair down once in a while like Gal #2. Gal #2 has no regrets, but would like to find her earrings.)
