Recent finds include Melmac air plane ware, a Melamine dinner set, Fire-King, Milk-glass, Pyrex, and some cut glass. I also like pottery, pretty china, and tea cups... I enjoy thrifting; finding items, and researching them to find out what I have found! (Read more)

  1. Thanks, Chinablue. Well, you said it better than I could! ;) I have to say I'm enjoying and learning a lot through these pieces!
  2. I noticed the garland looks a little different from other pieces too, it's interesting though. I took a stroll through ebay and couldn't find anything useful. I'm not as good with history as I probabl...
  3. Beautiful! It looks like Schumann, but the pattern is a little different. Have you visited this site, it helped me... http://www.efineantiques.com/webpages/schumann2.htm
  4. Very nice! I love looking at old pictures/paintings of dogs. It's interesting to see how the breeds evolved and ones that no longer exist.
  5. Pretty! I have a smilar piece (in a blueish- greenish color with some white on the bottom)... and someone told me mine might be Italian glass.
  6. Thank you! Yes, I do... honestly I'm so new to collecting that this was the first reticulated piece I come across... and quickly fell in love with it!
  7. Oh sorry for the confusion, I have the sneakers, which I love. I don't "have" the bags... I just "saw" a few bags on ebay with the same pattern. I think I just did a general search for floral pattern ...
  8. Hey, that's great!! I was going to tell you I also saw a few handbags varying sizes on ebay with the same pattern, all different styles. I believe "Madison" stands for something else bc Coach has all ...
  9. My aunt had a table just like this, but it was sold at her estate sale a few years ago. :( I called my cousin for more information on it. Apparently my aunt's sister had travelled and brought it back ...
  10. Okay, finally an area I can offer some assistance with! ;) This is not vintage Coach. It is discontinued though. I recognize the pattern because I bought the sneakers at the Coach outlet a couple of y...
  11. SpunkysMom- No problem. Thank you, and you have a cute cat nestled in that basket!! It's funny because I considered picking "maggie's mom" as my screen name. ;)
  12. austrohungaro- Thanks for sharing! I loved your blue glass, beautiful. vetraio50- I came across that same website the other day! Awful! I think the story may end there, unfortunately, but I'm going t...
  13. The site I posted doesn't seem to have a lot of info on it either, but it's a little something.
  14. I found that mark on this website. I use it to research marks... it's about 1/2 way down the page. http://www.efineantiques.com/webpages/fine_porcelains.htm
  15. Thank you! I think they are from that time frame.
  16. Love your items!! Kosta Boda made a serving bowl/dish "similar" to the colored votives (yours is in purple), you can keep an eye out and make a set. Also, if you like the Orrefors on ebay (from the li...
  17. THanks!
  18. Thank you!
  19. Beautiful! I Love Nambe!
  20. I noticed you have quite a beautiful collection of pieces that glow!
  21. I saw a bumper sticker with a paw print on it not too long ago saying, Who "Rescued" Who? I thankful everyday that we found her!! I'm sure it's mutual, she's a good pup. :) I'm going to try that! ...
  22. Thank you!!
  23. Thank you, I'm new to this site and collecting in general. I'm so happy to have found a place where I can share my "finds" and learn more about them! That link already answered a few questions I had-...
  24. Thank you miKKoChristmas11 and Hedgewalker! Hedgewalker-Thank you!! My boyfriend found Maggie-Dog on the side of the road clinging to life, while in Texas temporarily. So, as it turns out our "ch...
  25. Great place! I live in a 1920's victorian/I guess 2 family. I love the original wood work, you have a great place!
  26. Chadakoin: Okay, now I'm getting it. ;) I was confused because while searching the internet I came across a photo of the plates with the same back stamp, but the owners description said "Monterey" by...
  27. These are great, and you got them for my magic number ($1.49)... even better!
  28. Thanks Chadakoin! Glad you enjoy them. I'm going to keep my eye out for additional pieces to add to it. How would I know if my plates were manufactured by Metlox or if they were made prior to that by ...
  29. stefdesign- Thanks, I fell for the colors too! It's not plastic, but I had to tap on it a few times. It does have a "different" feel to it. It seems like some kind of "china" I'm not sure if it's ston...
  30. It's beautiful. This site helped me research my 1945-49 German plate. They have a collection of china and back stamps from all over. http://www.efineantiques.com/webpages/schumann2.htm
  31. I too have this set. Only I have never, not once, used mine. I bought it at the store I worked for and was able to order it from Waterford with my discount. I got a good deal, but not as good as yours...
  32. I'm not sure, but they are beautiful!
  33. I tend to come across these bowls in thrift stores and yard sales. I walked by one once before, and regretted not picking it up. So, when I recently came across two white ones (milk glass-looking) I g...
  34. Thank you, that's a great idea. Pink would be beautiful!
