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!

Little Hostess Set by Hazel Atlas

One of my favorite sets that I have been lucky to be in the possession of! The wonderful thing about this set, is that not only is it a full set, but it's in great condition!

This is called a Little Hostess set, made by Hazel Atlas in the 50s or 60s. It was made for little kids to use, which is why finding a complete set is difficult, as kids generally broke a lot. This is in such good condition I would almost say it's never been used. But, I won't say that because it's not in a sealed box. Either way, it's a beautiful set. Fired on pastel paint onto milk glass, which you can see on the bottom of the plates and cups. 

I really do love this set! It's for sale on my etsy site though.

Vintage Zombie/Tumbler Glasses

I found these glasses a couple of days ago and fell in love with them immediately. The colors are creamy, soft, and frosted.

I did my best to research these tumblers, but couldn't come up with much. They are probably hand painted, from the 1950s, when this style was recognized. The image depicts a girl in a crinoline skit with an arch, bird bath and birds flying. These glasses are in great condition too, good to use for parties, and also perfect for display. I love how they would go well with all sorts of themes, Easter, spring, pale colors, girly rooms etc.

I put these up on etsy a few moments ago, if you're interested click here.
