And just in case he drops by (although he may not have any power right now), @jagofc Tony, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@carma CARL .... did not know that about the opalescent feet on the Mosser. Really glad to learn that tip.

@jagofc TONY ... so glad you are getting in touch with the Morgantown group. I'm just so sorry, but that Morgantown book is just the devil for me to try to use. I guess since a lot of the designs in their Decor line, are so sleek, plain, and modern, with no particular pattern then trying to match a piece with just black and white photos makes it nearly impossible for me.

Well, need to finish packing my sale and head out to post office, then WalMart, then home to make posters and decorations.....

@scott SCOTT ... I agree things balance. I've bought a hundred things that I've paid way too much for...and a hundred things I got for a steal. Each is a learning process and things do balance as I learn from it.

@decoqueen JANICE & @jagofc TONY ... sure was glad to be able to bookmark to favorites the Houze sites. It already helped me ID one item I had.

Have to go get ready for Tai Chi class. See you all later.

@ginnyrose CAROL ... lovely powder jars but I'm sorry I don't know the who, what or when of them.

@jagofc TONY ... I believe the decanter set is Imperial's STAR AND FILE.

@suzy SUZY ... glad to hear you are enjoying the coffee. Thanks.

@sunwoman3663 JANICE ... So glad to hear all is going well with your DD. And yes, I talked with Kathy's mom today and her surgery also went well. So very pleased for both of the girls.

JimD

@jagofc TONY ... Oh, thanks so much for posting @newplace Marymelodee's auction! Terrific finish, Marymel, and happy dancing for you!

@10bbg10 HELEN ... so sorry, but I'm going to need a picture. I was laughing trying to think like an architect to build the item from your description, but it was just not working for me. Would love to see a pic. 😀

With this "mention" feature... We all have TWO ID's here.... our log-in ID ... and our display name. For some of us that is the same. For others they are different. The mention or @ name only works with our log-in name. So for you I have to use 10bbg10 rather than Helen; for me, it is songbreeze, rather than oklahomasong_Gail. However for those whose log-in and display are the same, it's easier... maryb is Maryb, fran2 is Fran2, reen is Reen...

Beautiful blue set by the way Scott!! What is really interesting is I found this last week in a cute little eclectic shop of new stuff sprinkled with some old stuff and was buying something out of the front case and the owner said "oh that case over there is also 20% off" and I turned around and saw this beauty sitting there! I was excited as I love glowee glass and KNEW this was a Northwood custard piece that I had to take home with me. My quandry at the moment is to keep or sell. BUT...here is the pertinent part. When I went to try and find the pattern and was researching on ebay, I saw a set...this pitcher and 5 glasses and the seller had it listed as Lous XV, and then I searched that and found a bunch of other pieces listed the same, from different sellers. SO....I assumed that that WAS the pattern...until NOW. I thought it seemed odd that, since I did think the flower WAS a chrysanthemum that it would be called Louis XV. Then when Gail & Scott said it was Chrysanthemum Sprig that sure sounded like what it should be called! Now....my question is, was it maybe ALSO known as Louis XV, or all those sellers on ebay incorrect? Sorry for such a long post but I was excited when I saw this conversation tonight!

@jagofc TONY ... Thanks so much for looking. I only have one oil lamp book and I couldn't find it in it. I rarely ever pic up oil lamps since I know so little about them. I have 2 that I found in the book...and 2 that I didn't find. The other one is a small one too and I'll have to post it when I get a picture taken of it. Thanks again for checking.

Gee, I was reading about all of the terrible flooding this morning. I hope all you East Coasters are faring OK. Scott, I guess you are in the thick of it. And Tony, now I understand your concern in traveling yesterday to see JimD.

@jagofc TONY ... Regarding seeing the Crown Tuscan...I love it when I can finally see in person something I've only seen pictured in books. It sure makes a difference particularly in being able to either recognize the piece again or in remembering it. I love the frog link. That is one beautiful little frog with all those carnival glass colors to it.

Mim & Don... you save some of that banana bread for me too!

Got a lot of glass I need to tag and get to the mall today, so I better get moving.

@jagofc TONY & @newtonenterprises JIMD ... aw, wish I could be there with you all. Sure enjoyed my time last December treasure hunting with JimD and his DW. Hope to be back in that direction maybe next Spring/Summer as there is a new grandbaby who will make her debut about that time. 🙂

@4931nextdoor ALICIA ... since there are a few members here who do not frequent the eBay Glass Chat, thought I'd post your listing here and try (sans gifs) to do a happy dance

Also, Leah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses that wonderful "delete" feature that Curt has available here. I use it ALL the time. Particularly if I find I've posted something and then immediately have a second post. I like to copy the info, delete the two posts and combine it into one post. Also, I like to correct spelling or grammar (when or if I know my error which isn't always...:) )

Vouch for DON/donscns? hmmmmmmmm, ROTFLOL. Absolutely. He's a dear to keep our Welcome Post updated. A link to your glass collection would be a wonderful addition.

@jagofc TONY .... lovely little EAPG Compote made in 1911 by Indiana Glass Co. called PANELED HEATHER (#126)

Tony is your nekid lady something called LADY ON THE STUMP? Don't remember the exact name for her. Just exquisite.

@fyrqueen KATIE ... Do you have this website bookmarked? It's where many of go first to check for an etch. I'm a bit on the run this morning, so no time to go through it. But type in +etch +swag and see what the search pulls up. Might try some other combinations of search too ... http://clicksnipwow.com/chataboutdg/

@carma CARL … I thought I read where the worst of it for your area was expected to arrive later this afternoon or evening. I know you’re prepared for it, but still can hope it weakens or veers before it reaches your area.

@jagofc TONY ... oh ouuuuucchhhh! Man that hurts!

@fyrqueen KATIE ... I googled every which way I could think of for that bottle with those measurement marks. Glad Tony knew what it was.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... have you decided whether you are going to do the swap meet this weekend or are you just cleaning and sorting just routinely?

105° today....sweltering.

@suzy SUZY … Yep, I may have to put coffee on a little early as I’m yawning in spite of a nearly 3-hour afternoon nap. The good thing about this room is that I can delete a post and therefore put on a fresh pot later in the morning if I need to. 🙂

@jagofc TONY … You and Don are two peas in a pod. I warned Don if he didn’t stop buying display cases he was going to have to buy another house to fit it all into. Looks like that has already happened to you if you have a place in the country to take your extra glass! 😀

@10bbg10 HELEN … sounds super to have your very own peach tree. Well I guess it’s not your ”very own” if you have to try to get there before the squirrels and racoons! 😯
