Vintage Thingie Thursday

Hey Y'all, I'm just plum gitty because of this beautiful weather...Fall is on the way..hooray..
Today is Thursday and that means Vintage Thingie Thursday...and today I have a few items to show you from my Carnival Glass Collection hope you enjoy.
In this first picture is a set of glasses and a matching pitcher that I found several years ago to match the set my MIL had. Her older Granddaughter had asked for it when she passed so we gave that set to her and I found me one like it. I found them piece by piece...One of the glasses I found at a little junk store in Brookhaven and nearly fainted when I saw that someone had turned it into a candle holder...but I didn't say anything, I asked how much, they wanted 2.00 but I said how about 1.00 and she thought a few minutes then said ok...lol..it took me a week to get all of the wax out of it and all the little cuts, but I did it and think I got a good deal....Also in the picture is a covered compose bowl to match the pitcher and a gold covered dish. also in the picture is a blue cream pitcher that matches the glasses and pitcherNext is a red carnival glass dish shaped like a Santa in Sled that I found at a little Antique Shop in MO several years ago.

This is a ruffled edge round platter in Blue Carnival Glass, this one was a gift from DH several years ago.
I found these two little carnival glass trays while we where in Montana, I just love the green one the color is so different then what we see around here. The other is a pretty blue.

This is my MIL's oblong, bowl most of her carnival glass was in gold and had the grape pattern on it...., but I really like the blue better.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY VINTAGE THINGIES! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!

    I'm with you, I like the blue better too! But, that said, this glassware made up in these beautiful colors just fascinates me. Especially when the light hits it just right. Beautiful. Tammy

    What an impressive collection of carnival glass. Love the glasses, I think at one time my grandma had a set of these, don't have any idea what ever happened to them. It is great you saved one glass from burning wax...imagine!! Have a great weekend and a Happy VTT!!

    What a beautiful collection of carnival glass you have! My favorite has always been the goldish-amber colored ones, because they are so perfect for Fall decorating. Thank you for sharing!
    Happy VTT!

    I have always been intrigued by the deep, dark, almost black carnival glass. You have some beautiful pieces!

    I love Carnival glass! So sparkly and shiny! Can't believe someone would let wax run all over a beautiful piece of cut glass!

    I love the little Santa dish. Next time you need to remove candle wax from glass, put the glass in the freezer for a couple of days. The wax gets brittle and just pops out.

    Your collection of Carnival Glass is beautiful. For years I had no idea what this beautiful glassware was called when I'd see it in antique shops. I've always loved it.
