Great Haiku Garage Giveaway #6

At Long Last!!!  We apologize for the delay in our weekly Haiku fun. We enlisted the help of the California Legislature in picking our finalists. They deliberated long and hard, and then took a recess. So we put all the entries in the poll. They were all fabulous anyway.  Good luck!

 1)  Garage of False Dreams

    Bring forth Ulrica's glass prize

    Daffodils await.

2)  In my crowded home

    I still have space for beauty;

    but not for golf clubs!

3)  Yellow,White,and,Blue.

    An Arrangement of colors,

    To adorn my home.

4)  I love artful glass

    and the bluer the better

    join my collection.

This is a Kosta Boda vase.  It is by Ulrica Hydman-Vallien, who is one of the 8 artists who design their own line for Kosta Boda.  See them all here .  See Ulrica?  She's been designing for Kosta Boda since 1972. She also designs for Ericsson phones and British Airways. She's cool-huh?  All of them look kinda cool in their own way.  Asa Jungnelius looks like a model who also reads Proust.  Anna Ehrner looks like she just came in from hoeing the garden behind her Yurt to finish straining the goats milk for cheese.  Bertil Vallien has salty dog written all over him - until you realize that the cap is a little beret-like, and then suddenly he's professorial.  And of course Ludvig Lofgren listens to Kraftwerk, has a 26 inch waist, and wears very pointy ankle boots.

So this vase is designed by Ulrica.  It has her initials on the bottom.  It's 7.5 inches tall, 3.5 inches at it's widest. I can't find this vase for sale anymore, so it may be retired.  It is bright and charming, and perfect for a bunch of spring daffodils.
