Princess depression glass pieces are all shaped like squares that have the corners cut off. Even the bowls have this interesting shape – four main sides and then four shorter sides – and that’s what we have for this week’s Pink Saturday glass treat. The design reminds me of stage curtains. See how the curled [...]

Let’s face it. We all move and none of us wants to have our favorite glass and china break when we do it. Last week Dave and I moved to a different city and we moved all our personal crystal, three sets of china and all my glass inventory for my store. One piece, a [...]

I don’t know whether I should be honored or not. The nice lady who runs the Great Lakes Depression Glass Club asked me to please present a program this fall and wouldn’t I like to do one about center handled servers.

When I was in college I remember friends drinking Brandy Alexanders when I was not old enough to join them. The exotic looking drink always intrigued me with its luscious color and nutmeg sprinkle on top. Every time I see vintage cocktail stems they remind me of Brandy Alexanders.

Neither of these is pink so let me show you one of the pink Fostoria elegant depression glass pieces we have. This is the Fairfax pink elegant depression glass small relish by Fostoria.

That title has a lot of F’s in it. Fostoria is fun and it is a little fancy and tomorrow is Friday! Some weeks it’s easy to pick the Fancy and some weeks it’s a little harder. Today was one of the harder ones. I’ve been balancing our checkbook and paying the bills and getting [...]

Do your roses race to get one last flush of blossoms in before frosts? Mine do. My roses lose the battle some years but they never look so alive as they do when that last set of blossoms bursts out. I love roses and this glass pattern captures that look perfectly. It is Sharon pink [...]

Sharon is called Cabbage Rose for a good reason: The flower spray is full of big, wide open shrub roses. I picked Sharon this week because our roses outside are gasping for the last breath of summer. Most years we have a big flush right before the first frosts in early October and I don’t [...]

Quite a few of my Fancy Friday picks have been spectacular – Rose Point bon bon, Duncan Miller Sylvan candy dish, Chantilly compote – and a few, like today’s have been lovely little pieces, not expensive, just pretty enough to add a touch of fancy. Today we have the Caprice sugar bowl from Cambridge Glass. Caprice [...]
