Just stopped by to Wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year and hope your sales soar in 2014!

@shellyrae37 I like your little trinket box.

Bill I've never seen an albino squirrel, what a great photo,
I picked up a couple of souvenir glass pieces and wondering about the colour on the creamer (I think the pattern is button and arches). I only see them as clear glass with the red on the top. Was there a name for this colour - I've looking but not seeing anything like this.

I also picked up this nice opalescent powder jar by Waltersperger of France http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/marykueber/100_3850_zps189bfda7.jpg

Gail, sounds like you have been through a lot - glad to hear things went well and you are resting!
I'm been trying to id this piece of vaseline glass but having no luck. Would this be considered a swung vase? Stands 12" in height. Been a bit since I posted here, hope the photo works.
Still nice weather here but fall is in the air. Hope everyone had a great summer.

Hope they will find more people alive in Ok. Such devastation, prayers for all those families that lost loved ones.
@george thank-you for suggesting Dugan! I've been looking on-line and the finish sure looks like Dugan., hopefully I can find the shape. I'll post if I find one.
Don, yes I'm in Canada. Sorry, I thought your memorial day weekend was the same weekend as our Victoria Day.

I'm trying to figure out this glass vase, yellow with gold frit. Maybe Czech, seems to have some age to it.
Also a photo of a Lalique Formose vase a lady brought into my store - I've never seen one before, truly a beautiful piece of glass.

Here are some photos of the pitcher that I think is Hobstar Omnibus by US Glass - did I get this right? I don't know if this would have had some gold on the edge, if so nothing is left now.



Sounds like quite the storm, stay safe.
Mary

I picked up an EAPG pitcher and six glasses in what I think is the Hobstar Omnibus pattern by US Glass (sorry, I don't have my camera to take a photo). They have a purple trim - is there a term for this in searching? I've been looking using purple trim and coming up with nothing. Was the purple trim common? I'll get some photos tomorrow - 3 glasses have chips but the rest are fine, they look beautiful all together.
Hope all in the path of the storm take care, sounds like lots of snow!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

There is a $20.00 advertising fee per month then 30 cents per listing up to 150 listings, then it drops to 20 cents per listing. Your listing fees are for 1 month - I don't have a store on ebay so I don't know what the comparable is, but I think RL works out to be less money. I think the big saving is there is no final value fee, plus in 7 years on RL I have only had one non paying buyer. Well worth checking the site out.
Congrats Julie on your new grandson, he looks like a sweetie.

Hope anyone in the path of Sandy stays safe.
Happy Birthday Gail Mac & Chris, hope you have a wonderful day! Happy belated Birthday Gail!
I know some folks here sell on Ruby Lane but for those that don't and have maybe been thinking about it, there is still a couple of days to open a store on Ruby Lane with no start up fee, it goes until Oct 31st. I find my sales there are very good, no final value fees, people that buy actually pay and an easy site for listing.
Shelley glad to hear you have your new appliances, bet you are happy.
Good Week to all.

I love those stories of barrels or whatever still out there waiting to be found - I'm always hoping I'll find a box of unopened 'matchless wonder star' Christmas lights.
@songbreeze lol your table looks like mine.
I have had this little milkglass bathtub for years and yesterday came across this souvenir one in a light blue colour. I was never able to find out anything about mine - is anyone familiar with them? They are 5 1/4" in length.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Sorry to hear about Shelley, hope it gets fixed quick for her.
Thanks for your info and link for Bashful Charlotte - I went to have a look but they weren't Bashful Charlotte, I'm not sure what they were. You never know unless you go and have a look, maybe next time.
I did get a few pieces of glass this weekend, haven't got them photographed yet as I'm still trying to id them. I also bought a trunk of beautiful outfits from the 40 & 50s - the only problem is they had mothballs stored in the trunk.I have them outside hoping the smell will disappear.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Great news for your son Gail!
I've only seen 'Bashful Charlotte' in photos, so I'm trying to get as much info on them as possible - I'm going to view a house on Saturday and they think they have several of them, all in pink. Are there reproductions of these or something that I should be looking for on them? I've been reading up on them and see there is a draped lady, rose lady and mandolin lady - so much to learn. Any thoughts on this would be great.

Good reminder about surge protectors - I only have one on my computer, will have to get one for my TV.
I picked up this vaseline bowl the other day, thought it would be fairly easy to figure out the pattern and maker but no such luck. Anyone recognize it? The top edge is scalloped, then a row of buttons then diamonds.

@songbreeze we have auctions like that here too - not sure why they run them as they don't sell much and can't be making any money.

Wow on that carnival glass piece - I'd be on pins and needles while it was in transit. Interesting info on the carnival glass market Carl.
Great find in your box Char
I picked up this Fenton lemonade pitcher for $5.00 - the bottom at some point came off and has been glued in place - sitting in the window you'd never know it was damaged.
Has anyone had problems with the search on ebay - it seems to keep bringing up items that I'm not interested in, very frustrating.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday evening.

I've had a two packages arrive at my door broken, both due to poor packing. I did get a full refund but really wanted the items - both old milkglass halloween lanterns.
Gail & Bill, those are beautiful glass baskets!
I picked up this pretty glass piece yesterday - the top has been broken but should be fine once glued together (a keeper for me). Would this be EAPG? Lovely greenish blue colour, 10" in length x 2 1/2" in height. Writing on the top, only word I can make out is 'souvenir'.

I'm just learning that people actually do this to glass on purpose (I guess I'm behind the times). I found this listing, #140723459603, where they say it has been irradiated to get the colour.

Been awhile since I have been here, hope everyone is doing well.
I picked up 2 purple oil lamps, the one on the left is Thumbprint panel, the other is a bullseye pattern but still researching to find out who made it. I'm wondering if the glass was originally purple or if this is sun coloured. The colour is dark, the sun purple I have seen is just a hint of purple. Hope I remember how to post photos.

Hope everyone is having nice spring weather.
I have what I think are berry bowls by Beatty Glass in the Blue Swirl Pattern. Bowls are 1 1/2" in height x 4 1/4" wide. The opalescent ribs/swirls are raised on the outside of the bowl. Not sure if this glass was reproduced or not.

Yesterday when I got home and heading out to walk the dogs there was an airliner with 2 fighter jets along side landing at the airport. Turns out it was a Korean airline plane that had left Vancouver for Korea but had to be diverted here due to a bomb threat. All is well tonight. the plane left here this evening. I think I would be a bit nervous to get back on the plane.

For my NPB - 4 are on my other selling id for jewels, the other 3 are the same person that has several id's (that I know of) and buys like crazy and pays for a few but not the others. I talked to ebay this morning about her - they are aware of what she does but she is still able to buy. - told me that I am doing the right thing by filing a NPB report. I just find it frustrating that I have to wait 8 days before I can re-list and get my fees back. It must be a sickness I guess that you buys lots but pay for little. I sell on Ruby Lane and never have problems like this (touch wood) so I'm thankful for that.
Crazy weather up here, calling for snow tonight - I really need warm weather.

Sellers bust their butts listing with the correct information, good photos and then buyers bid and don't pay - I really wish we (sellers) were able to leave negative feedback for these folks. I file the NPB but I don't know if it ever does any good.

A quiet, stay at home night until I get the call for a ride - I'm the designated driver for my youngest son and his friends.
