Vintage Thingies Thursday


Hello, y'all, it's Thurs. already, lordy where does the time go...ok, ok, I know....I've slept most of this week away, sigh, better than sitting around miserable cause this crud kept me from going on my retreat. Our Group should be headed back about right now. Can't wait to talk to them and find out how this trip has blessed them. I did get some dreaming and planning done...lol....now to get well enough to do the actual work. I did do a little painting last night, No, not spray painting or fine line work painting, but I did paint some picture frames...but...that's another post all together. Will tell you about it later and show pictures.........
Today is Vintage Thingies Thursday over at ColoradaLady's homestead, so be sure and check out all the great treasures our great group has to offer.
Today my items are glass ware that I have collected, now this is just a tiny selections of my favorites.
The first set is 9 beautiful stemmed Aqua glasses my sweet Sister bought me for my Birthday about 7 yrs ago. We saw these at a Vender's Mall and I just fell in love, don't have a thing to match them, but she slipped around and bought them for me...I just love this Girl, she's my best friend, mother and Sister...
CLICK ON PICTURES TO GET A CLOSE LOOK AT THE DETAIL


You really have to look close to see all the beautiful detail in this glass I tried to get better pictures but nothing I put in it would bring the design out, it is so delicate.
Next is a set of Ice cream tulip bowls DH bought me about 8 yrs ago when we were junkin' in Hammond, LA, we had gone down farther South to the Strawberry Festival and stopped by an Antique Mall in Hammond on our way home....now DH acts like he doesn't like for me to spend alot or buy alot of stuff, but let me tell you a little secret, this man loves ols stuff as much as I do.
He loved these because when we were dating and first married, they still had a soda fountain at the local Drug Store and at the local Woolworth, and even though money was tight we would splurge once in awhile on a Sat. afternoon and get a scoop of ice cream and on a special occasion we'd get a sundae. These are the type of dishes they used...The tall ones, there was only 2 of these, is what they used for the sundae or sometimes an ice cream float. The little ones, there were 7 of them, is what they served ice cream in. It sure brings back a lot of memories to set out on the patio and eat home made ice cream out of these.

Next is a set of Banana split boats we found at the same Mall. DH also bought these, the big ole' Teddy Bear...lol... these are so pretty with all the cut glass work... it was so hard to get a good picture of the clear glass.

Last is a pitcher and 6 glass set that I won back in 1979 for selling the most Mary-Kay that month...yep, I sold Mary Kay, Avon, Tubbleware, you name it, if I could sale it and work full time also I did...lol...you do what you have to when you have 3 boys and a Hubby that works constuction, There are days when the weather doesn't co-operate....
This set is special to me because it is something I earned and didn't buy..it is so delicately made out of clear glass and painted with beautiful tiny purple and lavender flowers, needless to say this has never been used and won't be by me...


I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY VINTAGE THINGIES! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! FOR MORE WONDERFUL VINTAGE THINGIES VISIT COLORADO LADY
