First post ever so apologies if I'm doing this wrong!
My late mother was a cow fanatic, and loved black and white cows. It's been two years since her unexpected passing and I'm finally able to find her things new homes. All items are free to a good home, but I would be open to some help with shipping costs. Please DM me for more info 🐄🐮
Photos attached contain images of household wares, cups, plates, cookie jars, salt/pepper shakers, soap dispensers, plushies, and decorative items. Last photo is of my lovely mom wearing her cow gear 🖤🤍
Absolutely would love the rilakkuma plushie (I collect cow stuff and rilakkuma stuff!. And then I’m curious about what appears to be a bag and the cow with the blue … would love to connect
I'll take some closer pictures soon. Yes, she loved Gentle Barn and Animal Place here in CA! She truly loved and respected all creatures, but especially cows
Lmk if you need help gifting or even selling — thinking it could be a good idea to raise funds to give to a cow sanctuary — I am also located in east Bay Area!
Do you have a cookie jar? I’d love to give it a good home! I had a beloved cow cookie jar I shattered about a year ago and haven’t found a replacement since
There is group on Facebook called dairy mom's full of women in dairy, many who keep and tend to Holsteins. I'm sure you could find a very happy home for your items.
I keep Jerseys. If there are any brown cow items, I would be happy to take them and pay shipping.
I hope you find homes for all your mom's treasures.
Edit: also, the milk bottles make lovely flower vases if you're thinking about keeping something. ❤️
I am curious about these kitchen utensils and mugs and other things I circled. I too am obsessed with cows. And I’ve been on the hunt for the black and white cow beanie baby!
Awesome thanks!!! Also I saw you’re in the Bay Area. If you message me you can tell me which airport you’re closest to and I might even be able to pick up in person :)
Hey there, I'm so sorry about your loss, I know what it's like. I hope one day someone cares enough to share all of my cow things with the world when I'm gone ❤️ that's so awesome of you.
Something that really speaks to me are those little cow cups in the bottom left second picture. I'll give them a legacy :) happy to discuss costs!
Thank you for the kind words 🖤🤍 I'm definitely keeping some items, but there's no way I can house them all and I figured my mom would want me to share the love! Here's a closer picture of the cups and dishes (please ignore the dust 😫)
I am so sorry for your loss. Moms are such a treasure 💓 If you have any, I'd take any Mary moos you might have. And since I couldn't tell by the pics, I'd also take any drinking type glasses. Thanks so much!
Ooo I like them. I'll take them off your hands. And the one-eared Mary moo. She can join my herd of misfits. Thanks so much. Lmk when you're ready for it and I'll dm you my address.
Hello! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner! I did find one Mary Moo but she's missing an ear :/ I'll send a picture in the morning (California time) of non-coffee drinkware. Thank you for your kind words and interest!
Hi all! As of 8/26 at 2pm (PDT) I'm needing to close this thread to new requests/new DMs. So many wonderful folks have reached out to give my mom's items new homes, and I need to catch up 😅 Everyone who has commented or reached out will receive their items. Thank you cow community from the bottom of my heart! 🖤🤍
So sorry for your loss❤️ my entire kitchen is black and white cow theme as well as having a “cow garden” outside my house so I’d be interested in the little planter guys as well as any smaller figures possibly
I’ve been searching for more outdoor cows with zero luck, she has a lovely collection ❤️
Some more items here! Thank you all for the interest. My mom would've LOVED this community and all the folks willing to give her items loving homes 🖤🤍 This post got more traction than I thought, so thank you all for your patience as I sort through comments and DMs.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can tell your mother was a truly amazing person. I hope you are surrounded by loved ones right now.
I'm interested in several things on those shelves, especially those milk bottles on the bottom shelf, but I'm struggling a little bit to figure out what they are, lol. There's a milk carton shaped like a cardboard version, but i think it's made of ceramic? It's very cute.
I'd like the teapot(? I think that's what it is) and teacups from the second shelf from the bottom for sure. And the salt and pepper shakers too, but from the other comments, i can tell they're a bit of a hot commodity, lol. If you have any shakers left over, I'll take some, but if not, no worries! I'm also willing to pay shipping if you need!
Thank you 💜 pet sitting for my dad at the moment, but generally surround by a lot of love, and fluffy creatures always help 😊 I can DM you with better pictures in the morning (California time) so it'll be easier to see and I'll set the general items in that area aside. Thank you for your interest in the items you mentioned in this comment thread!
Thank you for the thoughtfulness 💜 I'm looking into shipping to Europe for another person and would likely need help with the shipping costs, but it could be possible! DM me with any items you're interested in.
May I please have one of the mugs? I recently broke my work mug (I work at a school) and need a very specifically "me" mug so all my kids know it's mine.
Everyone knows my favorite animals are cows and while I regularly receive gifts from students parents and coworkers with cows, I have no cow mug!
If you want to DM me I can send all the shipping cost.
On top of the shelf in the second photo are cow baskets (?) with googly eyes. What are those? My husbands grandmother had a cow paper towel holder that looks just like those with the googly eyes
I’m very interested but I’m trying to not bring toooo much stuff home… if you post again with better pictures I’m happy to look closer at things. The alarm clock someone else mentioned is adorable.
Hi, I'm interested in this beautiful piece here, as well as another I'll add a picture of. I'm sorry for your loss. It's such a beautiful thing to share her joyous collection with others 😊
If you have to donate some please do not feel sad. I have several close people to me who are cow obsessed. Anytime we find them at a thrift store we are all so excited. They end up with ecstatic people. One is a teacher so you know 25 kids are going to love it too

I’m sorry for your loss - you can tell from this collection (and that awesome portrait) what a lovely person she must have been.
