Recent & Exciting Finds

I went up north with my family earlier this week to a town called Lewiston. While there was nothing around for miles, I did manage to find an antique store that I didn't expect much from. I went with my Mom, two aunts and my grandma (who is almost 85 and quite a trip!). This store was much larger than I expected! Everything was displayed by color and I had a blast. It was hard not to get out of control with buying and I only got a few things, but boy I am excited about them! Check out this set I found! MacBeth Evans Monax Bordette set of dinner plates, bread plates and saucers in pink blue green and yellow!

Aren't they gorgeous? All the colors are so vibrant and all the plates are in such good condition! If only I had the cups to complete the set! I would never have found these around here, I do have the platter to this set in my etsy shop and that was such a find! I'll have this set up on etsy soon, so keep your eyes open for it!

I also found some plates of one of my all time favorite patterns. The pastel stripe petalware also by MacBeth Evans. Another rare style to find, and I got three plates in the past two days! Excited! They'll also be on my etsy shop soon.

I'll have to post soon to show teh new additions to my corner cabinet and of some other things... for example, today I found the last New Dot Pyrex bowl to finish my set, the big one with green dots! For only $18, I mean what a find!

Vintage Dispaly pt.1

Hi everyone!

I've slowly been working on my corner cabinet's display. The problem is, vintage things aren't the only thing I passionately enjoy. I collect lots of vinyl toys and plushies and books and dvds! I had a lot of my plushies in the cabinet but had to move them temporarily to the top of the cabinet as my new little kitten had decided it likes to sleep on the first open shelf of it!

I thought I wasn't going to buy much more in the way of vintage glass pieces, and only buy pieces I loved in order to sell them on etsy... But, alas, I have acquired a few lovely pieces that have really made the top two shelves look lovely! The accumlation of these pieces was slow though, which is the nice way to make a collection I think!

Here are a few pictures!

I got some great deals! Also, my mother can't help herself, she's the one who bought most of it, without my knowing, for me. I have some black glass pieces, which I have more of around the apartment and were bought for my wedding. I keep an eye out for more because it's the one thing I would LOVE to have a great collection of (mostly because I think it's something my husband actually likes!). I have some delphite pieces and some jadite pieces as well in this cabinet! The colors all look so nice together! Especially with the little bit of white from the whiskey and juice canisters. I'm really liking how it is turning out =]

Delphite McKee Bwol

 

I found this lovely delphite bowl, at such a great price. I mean look at it. It was made by McKee and has lovely scalloped edges that turn into handles. The outside has a lovely raised design that I believe they called Scroll & Arch. But don't take my word for it =]

Friday Finds

Oh what another wonderful Friday with wonderful finds. Too bad the weather is horrible, we had a snow storm a couple of days ago, it's cold out and everything is covered in ice.

Anyway, I found some AMAZING things that I am SO excited about! I just posted my favorite thing that I found today, and it is also one of my favorite things I've found yet! Oh it's so beautiful, I have to show you a picture now!

I went with my Mother, as I do, to one of our favorite stores, the dense glass store that gives me a slight panic attack if I'm in there for over ten minutes... My Mother, being the way she is, sort of knocked down a tower of cups and saucers. Sturdy little things didn't break! My heart hurt after though...

This place, I could go back tomorrow and find more amazing things, there is so much to look at. I got a lot of great stuff and I'm so excited to list it all! As you see above, I got a gorgeous large light blue milk glass creamer and sugar. I believe it is made by Westmoreland. It is a rare piece, I have seen a smaller set before, but I can't even find this one online. It is in amazing condition, with no chips or cracks. It is the prettiest pastel blue, such a vibrant creamy shade. It goes lovely with fostria and jeannette pink, as well as other milk glass pieces.

 

I also got quite a bit of MacBeth Evans petalware! Not quite as nice as the pastel striped ones I sold before, but still very elegant and nice. I'm a big fan of petalware, and MacBeth Evans, such lovely stuff! I bought two sets of a Cup, Saucer and Salad/Lunch Plate. They have gold edges, most of which are in good condition, but one of the lunch plates as a spot that is quite worn away.

I also found American Sweetheart pieces, I only got some saucers, one of which is chipped so I'm going back to exchange it sometime. And I got the lovely Hazel Atlas pink ruffle dinner plates. I will have to post pictures and continue my 'Friday Finds' tomorrow though.

Check out my etsy shop to see more pictures, to buy, or to see other creamy things that I'm selling!
