It’s been almost two months since I posted a tablescape with Susan from Between Naps on the Porch. We moved; most of my stuff is unpacked; I can actually see the floor and find my glass and have time to think! I missed doing these with you. This week’s table is an experiment combining pink and [...]

Bobbie sent me an interesting email asking for advice on evaluating her Royal Lace blue depression glass. Blue Royal Lace is one of the most popular – and expensive – depression glass patterns. I get emails every week asking: ”What is my glass? How much is it worth? How can I sell it?” It is [...]

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. After all, I wrote an article for the Collectors Journal newspaper about them so [...]

You may have noticed I’ve posted less the last few weeks. That’s because Dave and I are moving and there is a lot to pack and organize. Dave is an artist and if you have a vision of a rather unkempt work area, that’s pretty accurate. He’s spending his time cleaning his studio (and discovering [...]

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 [...]

Cherry Blossom has been reproduced and reproduced some more since the early 1970s. It’s a shame because this is one of the loveliest depression glass patterns, certain in the top 10 premier patterns. It’s easy to spot most reproductions once you know what you are looking for. And the good news is that your fingers [...]

Welcome to this week’s Tablescape Thursday with blue depression glass on a vintage tablecloth. Doesn’t this make you feel like going outside and sitting in the rocker on the porch? The tumblers and the big creamer are Aurora, pretty design of vertical panels. The small plates I’m using as saucers are Royal Lace and the [...]

I’m a little late for Pink Saturday this week – it’s been one of those days. Thanks for stopping by! Our flower decorated pink depression glass console bowl is perfect to add pink. Console bowls are showy and easy to display in your dining room or on that hallway table. They fill in those awkward [...]

This is an interesting lot of 3 Hazel Atlas depression era shakers. The blue Moderntone ones don’t have lids. The lids to the clear ribbed set fit the Moderntone shaker bases but aren’t original. These clear shakers are marked Airko and the lids have a neat white plug insert with cork backing. The metal lids [...]
