Colored glass

Here is a few of my recent finds just small items however I really like them. I have been busy went  to an  auction and estate sale  and I had a friend visit me from Texas and we had a great day together catching up on girl talk

I got the blue glasses at the Gypsy Caravan in St Louis a few weeks ago . Sort of like the old Mary Gregory glasses , painted on. Can you believe $1.75 a glass ? I gave $7.00 for the 4 . Of course I know , no ones wants glasses like these now days , but I have them setting in a kitchen window for sun catchers

                                              

  Then at a resale shop here in town I found this purple vase, I have never had a piece of purple glass and thought it was so pretty. I was going to lay it out in one of my flower beds to catch the sun light but also set it in the kitchen window. I have a few colored glass pieces laying on the ground in my flower bed


   I almost forgot to show this tomato spoon I got at the same auction as the chandelier shades seems I have a collection of them now about 6 of them maybe 7


                                                                            
                                                                                                                       

Then last Saturday I went to an auction with friends and I thought these little small chandelier shades were very cute and I can always use them on one of my chandeliers, maybe cover them with toile material maybe paint them what ever. I feel like I got them at a great price I bid I think $6.00 for a box of items just to get these little shades made in Japan still have the paper labels on them

                                       
There is 10 of them

Then I got one more thing at the resale shop last week a dough bowls I have had it outside on my patio table , I just bought this I think because one of my sisters likes dough bowl   . I had my hand garden tools in it

                                                  


I hope to get my chair finished Monday when I am home all day, Saturday is my family reunion get together and Tuesday I have a date with a friend to shop & eat .

  3. Hello Janice:
    You certainly have an eye to spot some very goodly things. Your glassware is, indeed, most attractive and we particularly like the purple vase which must look very pretty when it catches the light.

    We have never heard of a 'tomato' spoon before now.

  7. Sounds like you girls had a great time. I have a wood dough bowl very similar to the one you found. It's still one of my favorite things.

  8. Hi, I just popped over from Pink Saturday. I love those glasses and vase. I always love unique and intriguing vases. For that matter, the glasses would work well as vases too. And how interesting. My grandmother had one of those spoons. I never heard that they were tomato spoons. Thanks for the info.

  9. Hi dear Janice,
    thanks for your sweet comments to my blog. The linen clothes are from France....the label is "Les Ours"....you can find some on Ebay fr.
    I love these kind of fashion, but my favorite is and remains Magnolia Pearl.
    By the way....the purse is handmade by me, using an old grain sac....that´s no Magnolia Pearl bag.
    We will visit the Marburger in fall....can hardly wait to see the MP gang again!!!
    Have a wonderful weekend,
    Birgit
