@reen REEN ... I guess I'm like that lady, I'd rather have coffee too strong than too weak. If it's too strong you can always water it down, but there's nothing you can do with coffee too weak...it's just a lost cause. 🙂

@sfinds SHARON ... LOL @ buying it back! Too true!

@collectibles4utwo CHRIS ... very pretty pitcher, but I know nothing about Waterford. Have you gone to Replacements and done a search for "Waterford +pitcher"?

@suzy SUZY ... double check the doty link. It shows the original in marigold but if you click on a link in the description it will tell you about the reissue and the colors they made. Looks like finding the logo is the big difference in age.

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... Indeed, I do remember. The tire people fixed it and said it would run forever without a sensor; however, the dashboard light would stay on and the ding-ding-ding alert would sound each time I got into the car and started the motor. Decided I didn't want to have to deal with that indefinitely, so I bit the dust and ordered the part. 🙂

@collectibles4utwo CHRIS ... I know nothing about paperweights. I do have a couple of links you might look through until someone can help you.

@carma CARL ... We were at 84° 2 days ago! Today we are suppose to reach the 40s but the wind is so strong the windchill is at the freezing level. Tuesday we will be back into the 60s. Love that Oklahoma weather! You never get bored. 😀

I hope everyone in the path of Sandy stays safe.

Rose @memoriesofyesterdays Welcome to the board

@gailmacphee Gail Mac & @collectibles4utwo Chris — HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@mactiki Don't know what they are but I really like those.---- A member of Advertising Collectibles says they are guinna hens.

@reen The really good part of this is this son-in-law has never shown such enthusiasm for father child activities. His DD, the mother of the child , even wondered if he would really care about a grandchild.This is what I meant when I said being a great-grandparent was even better than being a grandparent. It is such fun to watch the grandparents and the aunts and uncles and the great aunts and great uncles.

@jerseystar27 Thanks for the @gailmacphee Gail Mac & @collectibles4utwo . I had looked for them for when I posted their birthday greetings.I see that they have now posted but thanks anyway.

@memoriesofyesterdays Rose ,Welcome. Come back soon and often. Beautiful bowl. I love yellow.

Happy to report that a package shipped to Bankok Thailand on Oct. 23 by International First Class has arrived and buyer posted feedback.
Also happy to report that an item that got a low offer was purchased by another buyer at full price.

I think I'll go read my news magazine. Have one more ad to write. Maybe later or maybe tomorrow mum.

What a wonderful day before all the rain that is coming.

@songbreeze Gail - Didn't even know I had made it until I was looking to re-invoice a person, and found they took that option away that I could see, so I just sent them an email. I know I will loose the status as fast as I got it, but heck for a few minutes it was good(LOL). Of course this is Frans field, but I am guessing no on the Candlewick tray, never ever remember seeing pastel candlewick colors.

@shellyrae37 Shelly - your welcome the mugs I usually sell between 20 - 25 depending on my mood(LOL)......

@wattleihavenext Julie - Of course Miss P got her looks from her grandma :-). Someday I will get one, but until then I have lots of Grand nephews and Grand nieces to keep me busy.

@collectibles4utwo Chris - Sorry no idea either, I didn't see Gails note so I looked too(LOL) Looking at the coloring I would guess 50s.....

@gailmacphee Gail - I would do away with parcel post, I use to run out everyday to mail, but now I only do MWF, Only use first class mail or priority mail, Never send parcel post, and once forced to change my return policy it will be no returns. 14 days is much to long of a window to change their minds. Though it really doesn't make to much of a difference in things, unless they are paying you cash. And printing online saves lots of money.

Bear 🙂

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... feeling a little delicate this morning, are we? 😆 Precious picture of Miss P.

@jpthings BEAR ... CONGRATULATIONS on the Bronze PowerSeller status. I sure like the 20% discount on FVF...guess it's 25% for the next month. Going to bum me out when that goes away.

HI to SHELLY, GEORGE, & MARSON.

@collectibles4utwo CHRIS ... sorry, I can't help with your tumbler. I went through The Decorated Tumbler book but couldn't find a match.

Reen many good thoughts for Diane.

Lainey--- Good luck with your new business. With estates like that one you should do well.

Julie--- makes me laugh just to think about your drunken Christmas bash. Made me think about a friend of ours who had over imbibed after work and was walking home. The police picked him up not just once but twice. Now what can a walking drunkard be charged with ?

@collectibles4utwo CHRIS ... As George said it was made by Avon. The pattern is called EMERALD ACCENT.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... we've had so little rain here. We are suppose to get a really good strong rain tomorrow and hopefully a few continued days of rain. If you have too much, just send it on up here. 🙂

@collectibles4utwo I think the black plate is Mt Pleasant by Smith Glass Co. Than again BOB sees it as something different.

GAIL I think the snow is going to hit us tonight or by tomorrow..Just about the time your weather is clearing up.

IRENEM, glad your DH is feeling better and that now you will both be getting some good sleep..

HI SUZY, pretty pitchers, I usually navigate towards them too, they are usually reasonable because no one else knows what they are either.. 🙂

JULIE the little Princess is adorable. Love her dress, are you teaching her now to be a mechanice, or landscaper. teach them early,

DON, Nice Grandpa you are.. I think little girls will always love Pink. and you are right about the Memories..

JIMD, I think we will be getting the snow before you do, and its not here yet.. Would mind if it blew over to Canada. 🙂

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JREEDD, where are ya hanging out?

HELLO TO all those I missed.

The green plate looks to be HORSESHOE by Indiana Glass Co. #612, 1930-1933.
The amber plate NORMANDIE aka BOUQUET & LATTICE by Federal Glass Co, 1933-1940.
The black plate MIGHT be made by Westmoreland...needs others to look at and help with it.

@ohiostar FENTON ... Oh, I'm so glad for you that the rest of the set was still there. What an amazing find! To find so many pieces...to find so many pieces in the same pattern...to find so many pieces in vaseline ... mind boggling!
