Robin's Egg blue Retro Fan

This fan is absolutely Gorgeous, and I am a little surprised no one has bought it yet! Someone will find it and fall in love. I have no room for it myself. If it lasts until I move and can put it in my kitchen, I will gladly do so!

Look at this fan!


                                          

It's been a while I know...

And I haven't listed in ages either! I have a plan though! I won't say much but I will say it involves making etsy my new full-time part-time job... does that make sense? Probably not. But, anyway, I'm excited about it!

I've started working on my novel again! That's something I am really excited about right now.

Anyway, here is what I've just listed today! I am going to try and list something every day this week, really try and get back into the habit of listing and being a part of etsy.

MacBeth Evans Pastel Stripe Petalware dinner plates!

Not the best quality of pictures of today I know... see the listing here!

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 =]

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.

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 =]

Treasuries

I woke up to find I was put in three lovely treasuries! Here they are







I think they're all so lovely, and I'm really happy to be included in them.

Friday Finds

I can't believe it's already another Friday! Which means of course, it's time for Friday Finds! I do love going out and finding great deals, but this week I didn't sell a single thing. I know having gotten off to a good start of 9 sales in my first two weeks would lead to disappoint in the end. Even though I KNEW it wouldn't continue to go that way, and things could and would slow down, I still feel a bit like it's all over. Ridiculous, right? Such is the way of me.

Anyway, I'm staying optimistic, as I have been having a really nice time with it all. So without further ado, here are my Friday Finds!

Gorgeous jadite green coffee carafe and coffee and sugar canisters. They are made of enamel, painted a lovely pastel shade of green and cream. They are in amazing condition and look great with ALL MY STUFF, that I own and am selling. I had to show it with the light aqua blue creamer and sugar milk glass. So pretty. This will be for sale on my etsy site, probably tomorrow. As you can see the pictures are all ready!

 
This is a Hazel Atlas Odine rust orange sugar cup. It is firepainted milk glass. The color is so vibrant, it looks brand new. There is the HA marking on the bottom for Hazel Atlas. The bottom is white showing the milk glass. I think this would look great with an autumn set up. I might have to update the pictures on etsy for this though, it's more rust in color, it looks too muted in the pictures. I don't know...

As I think you all must know by now, I am a BIG fan of Hazel Atlas' Moderntone Platonite. I was really excited to find this soup/cream bowl. It's the same heather blue as the, cups & saucers, and the blue sherbert cup that I have for sale on etsy.

I looked it up and it seems to be that that IS the way to spell sherbert... Am I missing something? Whenever I type it, no matter where, it's underlined in that special little squiggle red to say "NO, YOU ARE WRONG."

Anyway, lovely blue double handled bowl, with the ripple step design. It's fire painted onto milk glass, and in pretty good vintage condition. One handle does have what looks like a chip but is actually manufacturing. It's kind of annoying, but barely noticeable.

This will also be on etsy soon! But, in the meantime check out the other awesome things I have in my etsy shop. I try to update it every day.

Greys and Blues and Grey-ish Blues Treasury

This is the second treasury I made a couple of days ago! It is like the cool rains of april.

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!

Blue Moderntone Platonite Cup & Saucer

I found two cups and saucers in perfect condition! Not just cups or just saucers as I have found previously (pink saucers and blue cups, can you believe it?). I was so excited to find these, the colors are so vibrant and new looking, there aren't any chips or cracks, I just love them!

Gorgeous blue, right? Great for Easter, like everything else I post. I guess that's what I'm obsessed with at the moment, spring/Easter looking things, aka pastels!

I am selling both sets on etsy

MacBeth Evans Pastel Strip Petalware

These are my favorite plates.

They are a creamy milk glass with pale pink green and blue stripes around the edge. They're a great size for lunch or dessert, and would look adorable with other depression glass era, or other spring/Easter decor.

Look how nice they fit in with other pastel colored things. I debated whether or not to keep them ever since I bought them. I bought them knowing I would sell them, but I love them so much. Compromise? I am keeping the two with little chips in them, and selling the ones in great condition.

And, don't they look great on the cake plate I just sold?

I have this last picture to demonstrate the opaqueness of the plate. The petal part of the plates is thinner and more delicate milk glass, so the light shines through there more, and it gives off a lovely sheet. These plates are so delicate and girly, I love them.

They are available for sale on my etsy shop, click here.
