Glass Chatroom Board

Hi Glass board.

Back from Illinois doctor. Was delayed a day due to snow that hit on Monday. Wasn’t so much the snow but the wind. The system when right up the path I needed to travel. I have been on that Interstate in snow and wind, in the past, and had no desire to repeat the experience. On that trip I was already at point of no return, when it hit, and it took 3+ hours to travel a normal one hour route. It is not fun to only be able to see the inside of your windshield.
Was lucky to changed motel and ferry reservations and got home Wednesday PM. Got the last place on boat for Wed. Had less time for grocery shopping and ended up forgetting a lot of items. Oh well.

Sorry I was bad about posting the last 2 1/2 months. Got back on NY day in Jan and then got a muscle spasm. Was not up to snuff for a couple of months. Only post on the Book board once I think.
I did try to keep up with reading sporadically. Love watching the progression of the Rail Road CARL..

For the first time, since Mom moved in 4+ years ago, I hit a half price sale in the home’s thrift shop. I usually just miss the sales. Think they only do it two times a year.

Found a nice crock, good size, that looks like it will be perfect for utensils. I’m using a plastic cup now and it keeps falling over. It is oatmeal color with two ( I think) blue bands. Was surprised later when studying it that it is Roseville. It was only $2.

In the book area I got a nice older Courier and Ives book. It has some color plates and lots of b/w. It is just for me, as I found it interesting.

Saw much nice glass and wished I had more $$$ and time to research.
Saw a heavy glass vase that I liked, interesting shape, 18” or so high almost hour-glass shape but the top curved in and it had a scalloped edge. .Also had what I think is wheel cut pattern trying to learn) only $17,
A set of 8 stemmed sherbets? only about $17 also. About 4-5” across top with flat bottom, compote shape with cranberry down and inch or so from lip.Had pattern in glass to. Not sure what type the color process is called, but it looked to be fired or melted on. Not like a paint on top of the glass.
Many, many other nice pieces.
Almost bought a modern bud vase. Heavy crystal, like a block of glass with hole drilled down center and a simple cut pattern on one side that was like grass slightly blowing in a breeze. It had a small scratch and money was tight so I just said ”no”. It was only $4 at half price. Wish I had had more time to decide.
