Glass Chatroom Board

Hello dear Glassies. I know it's been a while since the last time I checked in, so that made the birthday greetings from Marson, Nancy P, Lainey, George, Gail, Shelly, Julie and Wendy (I hope I didn't miss anyone) extra special and appreciated! Thank you all!

DH took me out to dinner to celebrate at one of my favorite places.I had the tri-tip and it was beyond a doubt, the best piece of beef I have ever had. Then we got together with our girls and their families on Sunday for a joint celebration of my birthday and a gender reveal for DD#4. It's another girl(her third). I thought for sure it was a boy but was secretly hoping for another girl. So that makes grandchild number 8(3 boys and 5 girls).

I have slowed down on my glass shopping. The thrift stores seem to have dried up around here but I did manage to find a couple good finds in the last few months and as you all know... that is all it takes to light that fire again! The first one is a Northwood, aqua(?) carnival glass, 8 sided Bushel Basket. The second piece is a Nakara, C. F. Monroe, trinket box with the original silk lining still intact! I will try to post pictures, in a separate post ( just in case I mess up and lose everything).Everytime I stumble upon a good find while I'm out and about I think back to those first glass discoveries and the road they have lead me down and the wonderful glassies that I have learned so much from!
