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!

Pink Jeannette Milk Glass

One of my favorite things to hunt for! Jeannette pink milk glass, ok any pink milk glass that's pretty really.

Found this eclectic antique store, just sort of happened upon it. It had a LOT of stuff, of all sorts. They had all my kind of creamy vintage, it was great! Except, the atmosphere was weird. Three guys ran the shop, and the main guy was helping a cop pick out a hunting bow! Interesting, but the other guy followed me around, and I did not appreciate it. I felt bad because he hobbled after me all over this big store, and nothing is priced. So whenever I picked something up he would take it and ask the other guy how much it cost.

I really didn't like having to ask the price of EVERY single item I was interested in! And, having a hobbling guy following me around. Anyway, I got this lovely piece there =]

 

Tomorrow, I will start posting other things. Such as my life and the things I have. Not just what I sell, but my actual vintage things, as well as my Mother's. I want to make this a more personable blog, not just a LOOK WHAT I'M SELLING. kind of thing. I hope it will be enjoyable!

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!

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.

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

Pink Milk Glass Candy Dish

I just love the pink milk glass of jeannette. It's so pale and delicate, the soft creamy pink can go with so many different things. With Easter coming up, I just squeal with the potential of everything I see in pastels.

I got this wonderful dish from the same place as the cake stand I sold last week. It has a tiny form of hobnail all over the surface, except for the flattened smooth corners. It originally came with a lid, but I'm sure that is long since broken. It also has a nice and simple leaf and acorn design on it, which I find to not be slapping me in the face, but rather adding a nice overall look to the dish.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
