@favoritegram Happy Birthday, Lainey!! Wishing you a wonderful day.
Speaking of crazy weather -- I gather they had light snow in northern NJ today (including at home). But we're in Virginia visiting DD and it's sunny and in the 40s here. Supposed to rain tomorrow -- here and in NJ -- so, as often happens, we'll be driving home in the rain.
-
@favoritegram Lainey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I hope you're having a great day!!
A positive heat wave here in Virginia -- all the way up to 35F! Did get a dusting of snow overnight but by the time I went out this afternoon, it was gone from my car (DD's car is in the garage, I'm on the driveway) as the car was in the sun.

Good afternoon everyone. I've been away for a few day and nights in my van.Beautiful weather where I went. Hot but lovely seabreeze.
Temps have now dropped and we have had some lovely welcomed rain since last night.
I hope everyone had a Happy New Year. I had a fabulous time celebrating the old out and the new in.
Shelly @shellyrae37 yep I have a big enough yard to warrant a ride-on mower. But I'd like to continue with a normal mower for as long as I can. Keeps me active
Carl @carma I wish you all the best in your retirement.

@favoritegram Lainey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Good morning everyone. aaaah what a difference a day makes. Yesterday we were in sweltering heat, And this morning it is now only 15Β°C (59F) and predicted to only reach 19Β°C. Its raining again and it hasn't let up since last night when the powerful thunder storms came through. Lot of very loud and continuous thunder and lightening. 7,000 homes left without power.
George @gabla and Shelly @shellyrae37 I may be acclimated but that doesn't mean I like it LOL We are lucky its not weeks on end that we get those kind of temps. It usually just a few days and then we get storms and rain to cool things down and gives us a chance to recover.

Carl @carma you have been finding some lovely items . Thanks for showing us.

Good Morning everyone. It is warming up down here.
I've been out and about . Went to a swapmeet just a few minutes from me to have a shop around. I had a lovely morning, didn't buy much but bumped into lots of ppl I knew and was great catching up with them. Then I called in to visit my brother in hospital on my way home.
Thanks everyone for your well wishes for him. There has been no change in his condition.But we don't expect there to be any. His heart and his kidney's will not improve. He's eating Ok and he is complaining OK

Carl @carma when they did a big upgrade with our TV signals last year and went totally digital I now can't get certain channels at all. Before I used to pick up certain channels in my TV Room and not get others. On my TV in the bedroom I would pick up the channels I couldn't get in the TV room but couldn''t get the channels that the TV in my TV room could get . Yes its all satellite and digital now And it has to do with weather and positioning of satellite dishes, aerials etc..
Gail @songbreeze π π Yes we did have so much fun π π Thanks for posting those pics. Its always so nice going back down memory lane. I still get a fit of the giggles when I think about Dave going for that walk with Melanie and me LOL The DeGroot blocks raoflmao
Hi Lainey @favoritegram -
@favoritegram LAINEY ... Wishing you a very wonderful and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
@wattleihavenext JULIE ... sounds like it would have been great fun to meet up in person with your cyber friends.
Just frigid cold today and suppose to remain that way for a few days. That's usually a good way to get me to stay indoors and catch up with housework. π

Good evening, glassies. Came home from Church at noon and decided sleeping all afternoon was just the ticket!
FRAN 2 ... I haven't sold on eBay for a year or more, but when I did, one of the requirements for a reduced FVF use to be you had to sell 100 sales a year. Now I don't know what they do....don't they check a bunch of different things every 3 months. Gee, I'm no help.
BOB ... isn't it @favoritegram LAINEY who is our Waterford go-to person? Hopefully she will check in a take a peek at your vase.
IRENE M ... the shelves came from my dear friend Linda's apartment. Hopefully she will be very glad I have them. She had an extensive CD and DVD collection...and really unbelievable number. The shelves can be raised or lowered which is just dandy. When she was in better health she would sometimes go treasure hunting with me and enjoyed my glass purchases and my cruets. She loved to look for anything with a music theme and if you can imagine those shelves filled with CDs and DVDs, it was incredible to see.

Shelly @shellyrae37 continued positive thoughts
Carl @carma Looks like you will be forever in winter
Don @donscns You could do what a friend of mine has done. They built in a display case, ceiling to floor and one complete wall in their dining room the shelves were only wide enough for one item, so nothing is hidden behind another. It looks great and certainly shows off a lot of their collections.
Lainey @favoritegram I hope you don't get another earthquake. Stay safe. BTW have you seen or heard from Marypat. I do worry about her and Lars.

@favoritegram Lainey, Happy Birthday!!
@sellingthings Marty, the "redo" of the grandkids' photo is wonderful! And kudos to your GS for his good plans.
@carma Beautiful granddaughters!!
I got a new PC last February -- because I wanted to be sure I could still get Windows 7. I never allow Microsoft to automatically download updates -- I have to approve them. We drove home from visiting DD in Virginia yesterday -- poured rain all the way but only a few spots of traffic (unlike driving down on Christmas -- no traffic!) Thursday we're supposed to have a mix of rain and snow and then Friday the temperature drops to a high of 18.

@glassusa BOB ... Do you know if the spiral optic hat is Fenton? Once I venture from EAPG, I'm lost!
@favoritegram LAINEY ... I signed up this past week for the Fenton FB page. Not that I had any Fenton to sell, but so I could just watch and learn more. I figured those buying and selling would know if something were Fenton or not, whereas on eBay you never know what is a correct ID.
@suzy SUZY ... yes, I was surprised to see some of the stuff. It was filthy and I got stung on a couple of things once I started washing the layer of dirt off of it. But I'm pretty certain I'll make some profit on the things as a whole.
@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... actually there were not all that many people there and very few that I had to fight with over the glass. Most were after the baked dirt... or paying very high prices for common Fostoria American pieces.

HAPPY EASTER
Shelly @shellyrae37 When I was in Bali last year I had planned to go parasailing but the weather didn't co-operate. First day we had booked, it turned out not windy enough, so we rebooked and that day turned out to be too windy. So it is still on my bucket list. I won't Bungee jump though
Betty @sjell your mention of starting a bush fire triggered another memory. We used to go down over into the paddocks and hide in the drainpipes under the road and smoke. Once we accidently set the paddock on fire and had to run to the fire station which was just a minute away and report the fire. Of course we didn't know how it started, when asked LOL But I am sure we had guilt written all over our faces .
raoflmaopmp , yes we were sweet little girls . Funny my DD was totally different to me, she was really truly a sweet little girl. Now this little Granddaughter I am afraid has too much of Grandma's mischiefness in her LOL She is going to keep everyone on their toes LOL
Katie @fyrqueen don't you just shudder sometimes at the things we did and wonder how on earth we made it this far LOL
Don @donscns Good hunting
Lainey @favoritegram LOL we used to tow each other around on skate boards behind push bikes. Lived on a steep hill OH the thirll of hurtling down it and crashing into the paddock at the end LOL I am still amazed that I have never broken a bone
Suzy @suzy Good luck with your sales
Diane @dianes DDG pitcher. Is it Moser?Thanks everyone for the childhood memories. Weren't we an adventerous mob? LOL

Shelly @shellyrae37 Please pass on my regards to Lucy's DD.
Suzy @suzy I finally got around to listening to Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" played on a glass harp.It takes a little while for my computer to upload it.

We got a few inches of snow yesterday, today it's cold and windy but the sun is out. Still in a little bit of shock -- had planned on buying a new car. Not only bought it but brought it home yesterday -- a 2012 Honda CRV, end of year clearance sale. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tNPhyj74uycX2x48F4rBjqJyYoYlVKyRZy6IyrdT4Dg?feat=directlink (That's DH's car with the kayak on top next to my new CRV.)

@favoritegram LAINEY ... The open-handled tray looks like it could be a pattern called VERSAILLES by Dithridge & Co. There is an reprint of an April 5, 1900, page of the Crockery and Glass Journal. It's just a fuzzy black and white picture, but below the dish is the caption #194 Versailles Olive.

@favoritegram : Your Daisy & Button Green Carnival is Fenton & fairly recent. They served a dual purpose & could be used as toothpick holders or candleholders that could be fitted to the top of candlesticks with the rubber ring. Someone apparently took the rubber rings off yours. Fenton purchased this mould at the L.G.Wright liquidation auction in 1999, so production would date after that. Fenton produced a number of former L.G.Wright items in Green Carnival starting around 2000-2001. Trademarks on many of them are so tiny & faint as to be nearly indescernable.
-
@maryr MM, I'll add my welcome back, too. Glad you're settling into your new place.
@favoritegram Lainey, only SF on this trip as DH has a conference to go to. One of these days I'll go with him when he goes to San Diego to play uncle. SIL now lives in La Jolla (she's divorced so they sold the house in Del Mar). Saw more of her in the spring & summer (while we were dealing with MIL and then the closing of her apartment) than I've seen her in years, so need to let some time elapse before I see her again.

@favoritegram Lainey, of course I grew up eating chopped chicken livers. My mom had a grinder attachment for her Kitchen Aid mixer -- I remember the fun watching the chicken livers, hard-boiled eggs, and onions going through the grinder.
And, believe it or not, I am back home in NJ. We were home about an hour ago, only one spot on the NJ Turnpike had heavy traffic. The rest of the highways were lighter than usual -- not sure where all the people are, but I'm not complaining. Counting our lunch stop (and a relatively long line at the Starbucks), it only took us 5 hours, which is the usual. Really expected to be on the road forever -- had DH pack all his favorite CDs to distract him while he was driving, but we only got through a few of them.

@favoritegram Lainey, the calendar is really crazy next year. RH comes right after Labor Day again and yes, I'll be able to give DD all of her Chanukah presents when she comes home for T'day.

Good afternoon, glassies. I'm running around like a chicken with my head chopped off trying to get packed, phone and camera batteries charged, checkbook balanced, .... and have to get the dogs out to the kennel. Sister is coming over to help as Big Ginny HATES a collar and leash and thinks they are only for dragging her human around the yard. Rocky, though tiny, is feisty and thinks if the front door opens he has license to run away from home and frolic about town. Costs a fortune to kennel the twerps. The cats will be on their own for 2 1/2 days, then sister will return and check on them for the next couple of days. I set out 3 separate kitty litters for them, a wash tub of water, and a wash pan of food. Plus I bought a ton of toys to scatter about the house.
@allirish123 TRACY ... be sure and read all the new policies before listing...no text on the pics, no frames allowed on gallery pics, return policy, on and on. Gotten to be a painful process. I use Auctiva and pay 9.99 a month. I like their templates and also you can schedule your auction start times for free. But I closed my eBay store and haven't listed anything in the last month, so don't know how long I'll continue with Auctiva. I opened a ruby lane store and have no need of a template there. Best of luck!
@4931nextdoor ALICIA ... what splendid items! So sorry that I'm absolutely no help.
@mainewildrose SUE ... We are all here to learn and I for one never find additional information "belaboring"...to the contrary, I find it very helpful reinforcement and appreciate it greatly.
@jerseystar NANCY P ... you get your DD all moved into her new place only for you and her to leave it?! LOL. Maybe you both are so tired from the moving you had to take a vacation from it. π
@favoritegram LAINEY ... do not know the story on your DD's son, but if prayers are welcome for strength and healing, count me in.
@reen REEN ... I can understand wanting to take a lot to auction, but would you quit selling entirely? For all the frustration, I still enjoy watching an auction or listing or item I have in booth to see if it will sell.

Up a little early here. We have a couple of orders to ship. One is going to Canada and that takes extra time.
And although I got a few pictures yesterday I need to do some more. We're supposed to have scattered clouds but maybe I can find some sunny times when I can get in some picture time.@favoritegram Lainey Thanks for posting the URL to @songbreeze Gail's RL shop.

Good Morning everyone.I had a bit of trouble getting out of bed @ 4a.m this morning, rolled over after the alarm went off and went back to sleepand never got up till 6.30 LOL Must have been because of my big day working in the yard yesterday and probably thinking about the energy I will need to babsit Miss P today. π
Glad to read that Gail & Suzy had a great day treasure hunting
Reen @reen I am glad you are doing much better.
HI Lainey @favoritegram LTNS
Gail @songbreeze Yes I love my Samsung Tablet and its not hard at all to learn.
Julie..off to pick up Miss P -
Good morning/afternoon, glassies. Been up and at it early and already to the Post Office, a fizzled yard sale, and back home again. Ready to start taking more pictures and listing.
@favoritegram LAINEY ... Why don't you send a pic to Replacements and ask them? I keep thinking Fostoria, but could find nothing in that clear/amber or with that cut. I focused for some time on #5082 with no luck and finally looked through #660. I really think it could possibly be #660 but still couldn't find anything. Of course, I could be completely off and just have tunnel vision for Fostoria. Sorry, I couldn't be of anymore help.
@amber1986 AMBER ... hope all goes well on your trip. I know your Uncle will surely appreciate your support.
@donscns DON ... hope the knee brace is continuing to give you improvement.
@gailmacphee GAIL ... I've had that difference in eBay/PayPal at least a half a dozen times. Irritating. I just had to email the Buyer, let them know the discrepancy, and wait for them to notify me which address it should be sent to.
@jerseystar NANCY P ... have fun on your weekend get-a-way!
HI to KATIE, HELEN, MARTY & GEORGE!

Hi Shelly @shellyrae37

Bob @glassusa Congrats on your find. Makes you feel good doesn't it. I have had similar happen to me.All the over priced stuff worth $1 locked in cabinets with High price tags and there sitting on the 'junk shelf' is a bargain and a half LOL for $1.

I need the dining room and I need to do all the cooking. They'll be here in 2Β½ hrs Good God what am I doing on the computer then LOL???

@favoritegram LAINEY β¦ Itβs spelled RosalEne not rosaline. Lovely piece!
HI there to SHELLY.

Some quick birthday greetings (on time & late):
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Betty @sjell LEAH @goodwinantiques and Elaine!!Lainey @favoritegram Happy Pesach (Passover)!
Second seder is at my house tonight (we were at my mom's last night), an ever-changing number of family members will be here; most of the food is cooked, we're cleaning now. We are dealing with on-going health issues for MIL which is why DH is only now getting to vacuuming living room & dining room. SIL from San Diego has been here since Tues. and isn't heading home until 4/17 (at least part of the trip was pre-planned), so at this point she's dealing with most of it.

@favoritegram LAINEY ... In Newbound's Milk Glass book, page 104, there is a picture of the base. The caption says "Star Night lamp, 3 1/2" to shoulder. By Consolidated 1896-1902. Has embossed floral design. Came with round globe shade. Also found in pale aqua green. $40.00-45.00."

Good Morning everyone.
I have a glass question for you. I have a custard glass Grape and Cable covered butter dish. It's has the large scallop base which indicates a reproduction. I would like to know who did the plain (no nutmeg stain or pearlized treatment) custard glass reproductions?Shelly @shellyrae37, Haha you started my day off with a chuckle, by your warning to Julie about walking funny when she gets off the elephant. Talk about a visual. OMG that's too funny!
JULIE, @wattleihavenext, I am so jealous! I'll be waiting for those facebook pics.
REEN, @reen, So sorry about your friend.
LAINEY, @favoritegram Good Luck with your new business.One of these days, I'll have to stop by one of your sales!

@jmart8248 IRENE M ... glad to see you checking in. Hope all has been going well for you.

Goodness gracious me!! How many typos in my last post!!??
Lainey @favoritegram I wish you all the best for your new business and that estate sale sounds wonderful. Shame I don't live closer.
Basically our trifles down here are first the sponge soaked with Sherry, then we do a layers of jelly and cream & then topped with crushed nuts. It is the sherry that makes it (Having a giggle here remembering the first time I made it, many years ago π we all got drunk on my trifle. I used almost a bottle of sherry π I had no idea how much you were suppose to use . But lets say it was a big hit that Xmas day many years ago

Good morning, glassies. Seem to be doing well this morning. I had a very stressful event yesterday and I think my body just went a bit haywire. Will see how today goes. Long story but the gist is a poor pitiful abandoned dog that I have loved and and harbored for more than a year, I must have put down today. IF I can get her into the car which I seriously wonder if I can do. Oh well, we'll see what this afternoon brings.
@sellingthings MARTY ... Hopefully @favoritegram LAINEY will pop in and take a look at your perfumes...also @kasi KASI... as they are very helpful. I think Lainey does commercial perfumes and Kasi does solid perfumes, but they know alot about perfumes and maybe have some links that would help too.
This is our first day of winter. π Rain rain rain and about 35Β°. Even then it's not bad at all.

@newtonenterprises JIM D and @favoritegram LAINEY ... π you all crack me up! Lainey, thanks EVER SO MUCH. This is a dear dear dear lady who has this bowl and I'm just thrilled that I can tell her about it. This is just terrific!

Bob @glassusa All the best in your new venture. I hope it does well for you
Marson @panishklo yes the Crown Crystal Citron colour is bright. That stuff glows even without a black light. That is my major glass collection

Good Morning everyone.
Lainey @favoritegram I am glad you told us about Penny's B/day Face Book did not have her on my list
Happy Birthday Penny!!! -
Sure enjoying my tv. Just discovered a program called The Big Bang Theory and I love it. I get 2 re-runs on one channel 6 nights a week, and then on Thursday I get the new version on a different channel. So this was my big night 3-in-a-row feature. Love it, love it.
Don and I both had bought from the same Seller. Going back over some of her sales, I would say she does not deal in glass at all. Seemed she picked up some from an estate sale...and was out of her league entirely in packing it. Luckily she refunded right away. I'm sure she's learned from this fiasco.
@fyrqueen KATIE ... so sorry you've been so ill. Hope you will be fine by the weekend.
@10bbg10 HELEN ... that is just so neat, knowning your Buyer's extended family. What fun that must have been to let her know.
@favoritegram LAINEY... that is so dear, to cook and serve dinner at the local Ronald McDonald house. Thank you for being you and giving of yourself to your community.
@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... enjoy your tv programs and get a good night's rest as you've really been busy lately.

Miss P has gone home, we had a lovely day together.
Happy Hanukkah to Nancy P @jerseystar and Lainey @favoritegram !
Shelly @shellyrae37 Yes always 24 hours in a day.The longest just means the sun is out longer, longer daylight. Yes Summer has just started here and what I meant to say was this is our coldest December in 50 years.
Time for some dinner and watch the Local News. I hear there were 2 attempted child kidnappings at 2 different local shopping centres today.

@fran FRAN ... Thanks for the reminder!

Lainey @favoritegram I am so pleased to read that your car was found
We had our van stolen a number of years ago on Christmas night. DH & I were not even home.We only found out about it because the theives pulled into a petrol station, filled up and took off without paying. It was all captured on security footage. And they left the van just around the corner of the pertrol station and jumped a train.
Fran @fran Its marvelous what a bit of healthy living can do for you. I am so pleased for you.
Julie -
@favoritegram Lainey, so glad to hear your car is found! Hopefully you'll have it back (and in good working order) real soon.

@favoritegram LAINEY ... oh that is just terrible! I am so sorry that happened to you. I really hope the insurance company will do well for you. How awful! (((((HUGS)))))

Good Morning everyone. The cool temps & rain continues and I must say my back yard is like a mini lake.I am loving the cool temps and I do love the rain but it would be nice to have a break from the rain for a few days at least. Some areas have really copped it with reports of flooding.Wettest December in 22 years, so they say.
Lainey @favoritegram so sorry to hear about your car. I hope by some miracle they find it & undamaged.
Julie -
@favoritegram Lainey, that's awful!! And right from your driveway -- either they're professionals who know how to do it quickly (so they don't get caught) or they're really stupid but lucky that they didn't get caught.

@justmim MIM ... I watch my sodium intake and try to stay away from things with too much sodium. I googled and found this article http://my.clevelandclinic.org/healthy_living/nutrition/hic_low-sodium_diet_guidelines.aspx and apparently there are a lot of recipes for low- to no-sodium diets that you can find online. Good luck to be able to find some that will comfortable for you.
@jmart8248 IRENE M ... sure hope your cold clears quickly without developing further symptoms.
@jerseystar NANCY P & @favoritegram LAINEY & @reddogantiques PAUL ... Paul, unless they have turned off the feature, these @ signs before Nancy and Lainey's log-in ID's should send them an email and hopefully they will let you know about your

Hi, glassies. I've been all day doing a massive reorganization of STUFF!!!! Will be boxing up a bunch of STUFF to take to the Joplin mall at the end of this week.
