And remembering George/gabla on his birthday. I do miss him!!

@george George, so very sorry to hear about your sister's death. Condolences to you and the family. {{hugs}}

@mainewildrose Sue - In the box where you write the description, does it show in blue on the top right hand side "Show standard editor"? That has to showing NOT "Show HTML editor.

All the way up to 23F here in NJ -- but there's this funny white stuff falling down (and sticking). Should be an interesting eveining -- snow changing to sleet/freezing rain -- and then tomorrow into the 50s and all rain. DH is flying to FL tomorrow morning to visit a friend in Boca. His flight is at 6 am so he's already settled into a hotel right by the airport -- doesn't have to worry about getting there (or about waking me up at 4 am when he was going to leave the house). Now he just has to hope the plane he'll be on tomorrow makes it back to the airport tonight.

@capecodlady Janice, Happy Birthday!! (And Shelly (@shellyrae37), both of the birthdays listed are the same Janice!)

@mainewildrose Sue, what an adorable baby!! Definitely better than candy.

Big hi to everyone else who's posted!!

@itsagas, Bill -- here are some more photos, including several of the bottom. The little vase is about 4-1/2" tall and about 2" diameter. As you will see from the photos of the bottom, it does have an "owie" -- a chip in the ruffled bottom (but it was only $5). https://picasaweb.google.com/write4unj/BurmeseVase032114?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJ-k882Wt6fAwQE&feat=directlink

good morning all george

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... sounds like a really super kind of day! How much fun! Would love to see a pic of your stemware.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... I was trying to convert my documents to my new Windows 8. All is well now on that account. Still so much yet to learn and, most of all, to try to REMEMBER!

@sfinds SHARON ... gee, don't know how I missed why you are having to go to the Chiropractor. Do you have to go much longer? Sure hope all is progressing well for you.

@mainewildrose SUE ... Interesting about the alt codes. None of the alt codes I always used before will work on this new computer. Isn't that strange? I always used alt+268 for degrees, alt+14 for music notes, and alt+3 for hearts. None of that works for me anymore. I'm thinking it may be that I know longer have the second number pad off to the right of my keyboard. I just have the standard numbers at the top of the keyboard and it won't work with them. bummer

HI to DON, CARL, GEORGE, and JIM D!

@jerseystar NANCY P ... thanks for the sweet words about my crochet. Wondering how the weather is treating you all. The rain and sleet are headed out and leaving a thick layer of ice everywhere. Church was canceled for the first time ever that I've known. Well, the priest will still say Mass but the requirement to attend is lifted due to the weather and road conditions. If it's not windy, I'll walk to Church as it's just 2 1/2 blocks from my house.

@mainewildrose SUE ... oh your decorations are just WONDERFUL! I can only imagine how super it will be to have all of your family together for Christmas.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... oh how frustrating! grrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'd just file a non-paying bidder, block her, and be done with it.

@suzy SUZY ... I just get a big kick out of the fact that you are fearless...having all that glass in your house and 3 cats...truly fearless.

HI to IRENE M, GEORGE, REEN, CARL and JIM D. Hoping everyone is having a great weekend and a festive time during the Holiday Season.

OH SUE @mainewildrose, you have saved me once again, THank you so much. Even with the crack some may not like it but I think its worth having, just not for use.. Wishing I could find nice EAPG colored glass/ or stained. Thank you again..

SUE @mainewildrose Thank you so much for your ID on my Celery Vase, Just knew it had to be old.. But no clue, I was thinking columns.. Never thought of bars, will have to add that into my EAPG vocabulary.

BBL

@donscns - Don Thanks for looking... I saw several in the Sold Listings on Ebay and everyone I saw did sell... so it must be a good one, too bad I won't be listing mine on Ebay, but I'm sure buyers will find it if they are actively looking for it on Etsy where I sell... I'll wait to see of Gail has anything to add before I list it...

@ohiostar FENTON ... the pattern is DIAMOND POINT LOOP, ca. 1890s, unknown maker, and it is probably the sugar bowl.

@mainewildrose SUE ... enjoyed the explanation on Indian Summer

@favoritegram LAINEY ... the only thing I don't like about the new RL is that the PO receipts are 2 pages long. I surely agree that adding stuff helps. I don't necessarily sell what I added...but I sell something from my store.

Oops! Sister just drove up in the driveway ..... BBL

HI to CARL, DON, SHELLY

And, Bob, just remind me when you put it up on the 'Bay (it would look nice in my vaseline collection, even if it does have some damage and is a marriage.)

@glassusa BOB ... how in the world do you get so lucky to come across a pair of everglades. I've never even seen them in person, only in books. They are gorgeous.

@jmart8248 IRENE M ... How beautiful all the flowers must be and it really sounds grand that you have a porch where you can relax and enjoy them.

@sjell BETTY ... always enjoy seeing you check into the Chat.

@panishklo MARSON ... thanks for all the chocolate! I surely enjoy it! 🙂

@mainewildrose SUE ... so glad you were able to ID the Heisey for Diane. I'm at a loss when it comes to what I call the Colonial patterns. I printed out what you posted. Thanks!

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... glad your weather is turning so nice and your swap meets will be starting up again. Always enjoy your adventures with traveling and your markets.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... It was my little East Coast Washington D.C. granddaughter who broke her arm. As you can tell in the picture, she was very proud of her new bright pink cast...the doctor let her pick the color. http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/4/4/3/3/6/9/webimg/665407292_o.jpg

@dianes DIANE … that is a lovely Three Panel berry set…yes, by Richards & Hartley #25, ca. 1885...and it has NOT been reproduced. Haven’t had time to check your CHS.

@fyrqueen KATIE … you just wear me out with all your yard work and work about the house. Picking up a rag to wipe dust off the piano is a big deal for me.

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... would love to see pics of your green pitcher and your milk glass "thing". 🙂 Glad your snow is melting.

@george GEORGE ... hope you and your DW are doing well.

@donscns DON ... will you have a summer break before long? Or do you also have summer classes for your wee souls?

More coffee needed. I will take a photo later and show you all the blanket that is taking up all my time...whether you want to see it or not. 😀

@mainewildrose SUE ... I'm still watching the live coverage on NBC. Can't imagine all the lock-down when it entails all transportation and businesses closed. Wonderful cooperation from all the citizens to comply with the lock-down.

@glassusa BOB ... wonderful luck at the Thrift!!!! What terrible luck with the Weather!!!!

Hi to AMBER, LOUIS, DON, IRENE M, GEORGE, and BILL!

No motivation in my bones to do anything today. Lazy, lazy. Guess I will get out this evening as a parishioner died and the Rosary is tonight. Will have the funeral tomorrow morning and then will help with the funeral dinner.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... so glad you went back and got the bowl. Chip or not, some things are just beautiful to look at. I have a jack-in-the-pulpit vase sitting right in the middle of my piano and I LOVE looking at it. Has a huge crack running down it but unless you pick it up and examine it you would never know. Just snapped a fast picture so everything looks blue...but it's white...

@mainewildrose SUE ... actually, if it weren't for the fact that today is the 1st day of Spring, your photos look quite lovely! 🙂

@carma CARL ... sorry to here you and your DW are ill. Hope it's just a short-lived virus and you all will be feeling better soon.

@shellyrae37 ... I bought a Marie Osmond doll once at a silent auction. She was just a beautiful doll. It took me FOREVER to sell her and I finally sold her at a loss. Hope you have better luck.

Good morning, @donscns DON ... do you get a Spring Break from nursery school or not?

@suzy SUZY ... I looked all about last night for the first stem you posted. All I can say is that I have the Seneca Glass Company book and I couldn't find any blank in it that would match what appears to be an Iced Tea that you have. I checked my Replacement book too and couldn't find anything that I thought might have that form.

@jmart8248 IRENE M .... Gabriel is absolutely adorable!

@mainewildrose SUE ... What a delightful celebration you had! ...and what a treasure in your DIL!

Good morning to JULIE, CARL, AMBER, DON, NANCYJEAN, and GEORGE!

I wrote this 2 hours ago....came back to check the board only to see I never clicked on Post Message ! 😮

@jmart8248 Irene M, he is adorable!! Enjoy him.

No snow yet in NJ but it's been very windy and chilly all day. Perhaps there will be some snow overnight.

What a mess of weather. Been off and on the phone with my sister who took ill tonight with a tummy upset. I got some things to take to her and was going to pick up some items from the grocery store. I touched my railing to go down my two steps off the porch and realized it was full of ice. Turned out my car was encased in ice. Couldn't even get the door opened. No way I could drive in all the ice at night. Just kept tabs on her by phone and said if she found she was getting worse or dehydrated we'd just call an ambulance. Luckily, instead, as the evening progressed she began to improve.

@fyrqueen KATIE ... I saw no snow here but there is just ice everywhere. I have to go hunt in my utility room and see if I have any de-icer left from last winter. Will have to try to get the car thawed out in the morning. Luckily, I only live 2 blocks from Church so if push comes to shove I can always walk there.

@baabaamason BOB and @mainewildrose SUE ... I'm thinking that celery looks like ALFA (OMN) aka REXFORD aka EUCLID by John B. Higbee Glass Co. (1907); New Martinsville Glass Co. (#21, 1919).

@mainewildrose Sue, she is a little doll, what fun and beautiful pictures!!

Very grumpy -- have spent the day grading students' end of term team projects, not quite finished and then have to calculate their overall grades. Why when the instructions clearly state each student's section of the reports needs to be at least 3 pages and the introduction and conclusion have to be 2 to 3 paragraphs do they turn in barely 2 pages and intros and conclusions that are only one paragraph? And why can't they write complete sentences?

@mainewildrose SUE ... your grandbaby is just absolutely gorgeous!

@donscns DON ... super job! Like @fran2 FRAN2 said, the chore will be to keep the card with the correct item. One thought is to print out a small thumbnail picture of the item and paste to the back of the card. I have a booth in Joplin that is strictly EAPG...nothing else. I use larger hang tags and I take a picture of the main design and paste to the back so that someone can't come along and switch tags. The problem is that without the picture the staff has no idea what the pattern name is for a particular item. They really like that I do that.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... oh what a headache of a buyer. grrrrrrrrr. Eat a piece of chocolate...that should make it all better. 🙂

HI to AMBER, HELEN, and GEORGE!

@reen, Thank you. Let me know If you need more pictures.

@mainewildrose, I left a dyslexic post for you (wildmainerose) at 1:18.

@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. 🙂

@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.

HI to GAILMAC, CARL, HELEN, AMBER, DON, GEORGE, and SHELLY.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

@gailmacphee GAIL MAC ... I had 2 months of such horrible sales on eBay that I lost my discount. It discouraged me so that I closed my eBay store and opened one on Ruby Lane. I will just do the free auction listings on eBay when I decide I want to auction something rather than give it a fixed price.

HELLO to ALL glassies and SUE @mainewildrose I agree with LAINEY that you ought to write a guide/review on King's Crown for eBay.

@mainewildrose SUE ... LTNS! Hope all is going well for you.

Will be working all day at getting more stuff ready for Friday's auction.

HI to DON, HELEN, and GEORGE!

@mainewildrose Sue, welcome back to the East Coast! How wonderful that you'll be able to enjoy your GD.

@mary cxgirl Mary, another figurine is the September Morn nymph, which Fenton made (it's based on a painting). I have the bowl and candleholders from Fenton's set, but the nymph costs a fortune the few times I've seen one on eBay. So I settled for an Imperial version of Bashful Charlotte which I got cheap. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/7BvfV5SQwYdVWaqbPuPDEJ46WNkKOU7MjrZOZP_x8cU?feat=directlink

@mainewildrose ---- I think you will be very happy with your decision to be where you can see your granddaughter. We have never regretted moving to
Indy to be close to the 2 of our DDs who lived here. That was in 1986. Eventually our 3rd DD settled here, too. And now we get to see one of the great-grands every week.

@reen------ I took a look at your closed auctions. Interesting hats. Hats are one fashion that I am glad to have left behind.
