Today's Listings

 As you can see, we have some lovely dessert bowls from fireking! They're of the shell design due to their scalloped edges, though they still have the nice swirl on the sides of the bowl. These are great for ice cream, fruit, or nuts! They're in great condition except for the gold on one of the bowls is significantly more faded than the others. Very shabby chic.

Second, I have listed a really beautiful blue beaded edge divider plate. I could not find out who made this wonderful vintage piece, but the beaded edge looks like Westmoreland, doesn't it? If you happen to know who it's made by, let me know!

Finally, two Moderntone Platonite sherbert cups, one in blue and one in pink! They're in great condition and the colors are so vibrant. These cups are so adorable and can be used for so many things. Display decorated Easter eggs or candy, keep your keys in them, or eat ice cream from it!

All of these listings are available at my etsy shop!

Busy...

It's been pretty busy this morning. I met a great person on etsy last night, we had quite a few messages back and forth. She's from my area and we have a lot in common, it was so nice meeting someone like that. She bought one of my items, she offered to do a trade which was lovely but, I just can't bring more into the house! But, I am going to deliver the candlesticks to her in person, hope that makes up for it!

Then last night my pastel striped plates sold, my favorites! I got a message this morning from someone saying they regretted not buying them when they had the chance. I'm offering to sell her the two I have left that are chipped at a reduced rate, she seems really excited. I love being able to help and make someone happy! I'll be posting them reserved to her tomorrow.

I found a beautiful blue and white swirl milk glass fenton lid in my mom's many bins of glass. I then found someone on etsy who has the bottom part to it! I offered to sell them the lid so they can sell the whole set! So, I have that and the plates to ship today. I'll probably be shipping the other two plates tomorrow after I list them, and I'll be delivering the candlesticks on Friday. I feel like I'm all over the place!

Plus, I became part of this amazing Vintage Etsy team. They're so supportive and active, I'm in love! They make beautiful treasuries all the time, and they seem really genuine in helping each other out. I'm really excited to be a part of it.

I've posted some new things on etsy as well. And I'm going to continue to list new things today and tomorrow, I'm trying to list at least one thing a day, but today and tomorrow I'll be doing multiple things. Also, this weekend I'll be going shopping for some new things to sell! How exciting! I'm loving all of this.

Above you will see my MacBeth Evans Petalware with gold decal saucers. And a Kemple milk glass compote. They are both beautiful pieces. In fact, the compote was used at my wedding! Check out my etsy store to see more pictures, including the one of the compote at my wedding.

Sneak peak of something to be listed soon?! Well, here you are!

A lovely Hazel Atlas ruffle bowl in aqua! So pretty.

Pink Pyrex Bowls

Quite a few of years ago I became a little obsessed with pyrex, as I do many things. I started collecting and I didn't really ahve any direction. I didn't know about prices, styles or anything, I just got what I liked at really cheap prices, if I thought they were in good enough condition. Lucky for me, my mom is a big antiquer and she picked me up a ton of great pieces. Her friends fount out and did the same for me.

As the ones we spend time with get into new things and you help them collect something, that person might start to like those kinds of things as well. My mother ended up getting quite a bit of her own collection of pyrex as well. Her things varied, in a sense, even more than I did. These bowls are hers. They are amazing and in great condition. They are well saught after and I have a hard time letting her give them up. She has given them to me to sell on my etsy, along with some other of her pastel pryex pieces.

My pyrex is currently packed away in hiding, as I am between places right now. I would love to keep these I just don't have the room, or the capablitity to go through my own things in order to have these bowls replace something.

Also, take a look at this adorable 50s pink tin shelf I found in my mom's many storage areas. I cleaned it up but it still needs a good scrubbing. It is perfect for displaying all of these pastel creamy vintage pieces.

I am hoping someone out there, maybe someone reading this, will fall in love with them and offer them a good home! And of course, if you are interested in purchasing these three lovely bowls, check out my etsy shop

UPDATE: Sold on March 16, 2011
