Glass Chatroom Board

Good morning & Happy Earth Day! So good to see Marson/ @panishklo and Susan/ @susu46 and Julie/ @wattleihavenext !!! It's supposedly starting to warm up again & it's rainy today. Will put my hanging baskets back out and may try potting my new herbs. Because it was so warm last week, the trees really sprouted and it's very green out now. But I'm sure the ground isn't that warm yet, so the usual spring flowers are still slowly coming up.

Hi to everyone that still pops in for a visit here.
I am still not collecting glass or anything for that matter. I am still making very feeble attempts at downsizing But at least I am not adding anything new to what bits and pieces of my collections I have left. I spend a pair bit of time at the gym each day and go away camping as often as I can. Grandkids are growing up (Teenagers now) so I am not needed for babysitting, as often as I use to be.
We are into Autumn now, the mornings and evenings are cool and the days are perfect. It's extremely dry here and we are in great need of rain. Poor farmers.
Time is getting close for me to head off to a Blaizaid camp and help farmers that have been hit by fires or floods, and help rebuild their fences.If everything goes to plan that will be mid May. I am having a problem with a leak in the plumbing and the hot water system of my van, that needs fixing. Hopefully it won't be an expensive fix. Winters coming on and I would like to be able to have a nice hot shower at the end of the day when away camping. But If it is not fixed by the time I am planning on going to BlaizAid, I will still go and get it done when I get back home. It's just a little luxury I will have to do without.
@susu46 I doubt I will get back to USA, especially with what it's like over there at present, with your insane President

Hi everyone. It's nice to see some "old faces"
Looks like I missed a couple of birthdays :-
Happy Heavenly Birthday Toby
and
Happy Birthday to Reen @reen

@susu46 Google made in China Jack in the Pulpit Glass vases. That's what I am imagining from your description. If it were newer Fenton after the 80's then it would most definitely be marked Fenton

@susu46 Susu/Susan -- it's good to see you! How have you been?

Good afternoon everyone. I have been to a funeral to send off another Uncle at least the weather stayed warm and sunny for it.

Good afternoon everyone.I am doing a very quick catch up scroll.
We had perfect weather over the weekend. You can smell Spring in the air 🙂
My brother is having Open heart surgery today & I am waiting on word to tell me how it all went.

Gail @songbrezze Glad you are home I hope you continue to heal.

WTG BOB @glassusa

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... so glad the weather held off storming and was lovely for the Ceremony. It just sounds so lovely. Will be beautiful memories.

@susu46 SUSU ... I posted the cup and saucer on ChatAbout and still no ID, but they also thought it had a strong "Westoreland" look to it. Still searching....

@susu46 SUSU ... I am sure if I felt my bed rattling in the wee hours, I probably subconciously chalked it up to the dog or the cat circling around to get themselves comfortable. They are always hopping in and out of bed or crawling all over my legs if I start to stir or turn over. LOL.

@susu46 SUSU ... so good to see you. I slept through both of them! I just got back from an action-packed week in California visiting my son and family and was exhausted. The second quake broke the 1952 record of the strongest quake in Oklahoma. Think it was something like 5.7...but the epicenter could have been under my bed and it still wouldn't have stirred me. Dang, I'm sorry I missed the chance to experience it...then again, maybe not. 😀

Good evening, glassies. Well, I went to church this morning and after Mass and coffee/cake and fellowship in the Parish Hall, my friend and I headed out of town and drove to Kansas. We shopped till we dropped! Can't say I found any particularly wonderful treasures, but did pick up a few things and had a great time.

@mary cxgirl MARY ... Oh, how I wish I could find a Steuben signature on those plates. No such luck and still searching for an ID on them.

@reen REEN ... that is absolutley positively indubitably the most gorgeous piece of glass I've seen in I don't know when...and to think it is a smoke bell! Incredible. If you ever put it up for sale, let me know.

@decoqueen JANICE ... I buy a lot of stuff from that West Virginia Museum of Glass. Last December I drove from Oklahoma to New York to Washington DC area and really wanted to stop at the Museum on my way back to Oklahoma. Unfortunately, both bad weather and the days they were closed worked against me and I had to by-pass it.

@ginnyrose CAROL ... I found this article very helpful in trying to distinguish among Fostoria American, Whitehall and Jeannette Cube. Maybe you will find it interesting too. http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abu/y201/m05/abu0038/s06

@baabaamason BOB in KY ... sorry, I don't have any ideas on your lovely art glass items.

@susu46 SUSU ... to get the blue "mention" to show up you have to use the person's LOG-IN ID. Their display name will only work as a link if it is the same as the Log-In ID. You have to click on the avatar to see their Log-In ID. I open a second window of the chatroom so I can check the Log-In names.

@scott SCOTT and @reen REEN ... So love seeing pictures of people's collections. Terrific! and thanks to both of you for sharing. Can never see too many pictures of glass, so keep the photos coming!

@reen REEN ... if you get up to step 7, and you click the open...isn't it rather like uploading a pic to eBay. You tell it upload and then it should show up here. I can't quite remember how I did mine but it took several tries. I didn't have problem uploading the picture...I had difficulty in cropping it correctly. Are you at least getting the picture uploaded here back to your profile page?

Need to think about fixing some supper.....

@fran2 Yep I used to have that site on my "ME PAGE" But now a days if you go to the person's eBay FB page all you need do is put your cursor over the Neg FB number and click on it and it will show the negs only or the neutrals only, which ever you choose.
@susu46 I am finding this chat board very easy to learn and navigate. The instructions are clear & easy to follow. Curt has done a great job.

OK when in doubt..read the instructions LOL
Lets see how I go this time

Hi, Meg, Nancy Em, Susu ... so good to see everyone gathering here. I'm repeating myself, but for the newcomers by all means check out the "How To" Manual Tab on the upper right. It will help you with many new features here in the Chatroom.

@susu46 ... how is the renovation on the house coming? We need to see some pics. Hope all is going well for you.
