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.

Can you believe, right this very moment, it is SNOWING outside. That's right, I have a spring sale going on, and it's snowing. In order to cheer myself, I've started decorating for Easter/spring. I'm doing a combination of new, vintage, and handmade for my decorations. I'm pretty low on Easter things, guess I have to go shopping!

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.

Friday Finds Continued..

I didn't finish showing and telling about my lovely finds from this past Friday! I thought I might as well do it now, I had to take pictures of everything, you see.

First, here is the lovely Hazel Atlas pink ruffle dinner plates I got!

 

The pink ruffle plates are in wonderful condition, made of a thick milk glass and fire painted pink edges, they're sturdy and go with so much! As you can see in the picture above, I coupled it with my new American Sweetheart platter, saucer and petalware cup. I wanted to show that you can easily mix and match your things and have a wonderful look!

Which brings me to my last Friday Find, the American Sweetheart Saucers!

These saucers are just gorgeous! Creamy and clear with a wonderful floral design. They give off that tell tale orange sheen when held up to the sunlight. I love that they can go with so much too! I just put them up on etsy, along with all my other Friday Finds!

I'm off to the dentist tomorrow, and then my Mother and I are off to check out some resale shops that I've never been to before! I wonder if I'll find anything lovely. Though I don't really want to buy anything, I feel I need to sell things in order to buy things, and I haven't sold anything in a couple days.

As always, check out 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.

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

Moderntone Platonite Saucers

I found these two saucers at a great antique store. The woman there has thousands of pieces of glass, if I'm in there for more than 5 minutes I start to get a panic attack. I'm scared I touch one thing and everything in the store will break. It's a serious concern every time I go there.

Anyway, she has loads at this store, the only thing is, it's not too close, then again none of my favorite places are. She has really great deals and knows everything about everything.

These two saucers are in such good condition! I love that they look like pottery but are in fact milk glass, you can see when you flip it over. And though they are saucers, they can still be used as small plates or put on display. I can see them used in a pale/pastel theme display, possibly for Easter, would that not be too cute? They would match the frosted tumblers I posted yesterday. Can you tell I'm all about the pastel shades, and Easter time?

Another Blog

Hi everyone!

I have a few blogs, I must admit, but they all have their own wonderful purpose! This one, as the name implies, is for my wonderful adventure in vintage things.

I am mostly into kitchenware currently: plates, all kinds of cups (tumblers, mugs, teacups) bowls, pitchers and all that kind of stuff. I am really into the creamy milk glass pieces. That is why I am called Creamy Vintage, I love the look of pyrex, anchor hocking (fireking), hazel atlas, and macbeth evans. I am in the learning stages of all these wonderful companies and the pieces they made, I hope you enjoy following me through my adventure of finding, learning, and selling creamy vintage.
