Vintage Glass Links

Hello everyone!

I was researching Quaker Oats Crystal Wedding Oats and Fire Kings Jadeite Alice. Alice cups and saucers were Crystal Wedding Oats giveaways. In the process I found a great site, The Hard To Find Grocer. Wow! They have groceries I haven`t seen in the west. I was the so called kid in a candy shop. Anyway, today you can buy the Wedding Oats and get free plastic tumblers! Maybe I am easily impressed.

The next site is fabulous if you are researching Indiana Glass. This is the most complete Indiana Glass site I have found to date. Color pictures and very easy to navigate. I was researching Amber Glass at the time. And I adore Sparkle Plenty. This is where I go to research Fire King. Easy to navigate and great pictures.

I`ve had this Amber Candy Dish for some time.



Amber Glass is so cool. This lovely is going in my shop Cate`s Back Porch.

The next item is so darn cute. I paid about a dime for it.




It`s a Dee Bee Original Chalkware Siamese Cat. The colors are so realistic and he looks like he`s ready to pounce. He`s in very good condition. This figurine is in my Etsy shop, CrochetBee. I have the mate but he is a little chipped and not for sale. I put him outside under a lilac bush and it scared the beegeebers out of my big old lab. I know, beegeebers is not a word!

That`s about all for today. I did mail letters to some great deployed soldiers this morning. I love hearing from them. Makes my day. I would like to be on the Soldiers Angels Baking Team but I am not a talented baker. The young men and women overseas love home baked goodies. The women and I guess a few men bake cookies and cakes and manage to get them over there in one piece. I may still give it a go. I`m also looking into the Chaplains Support Team. Soldiers Angels is my other part time job. LOL

Have a good day,
Till later,
Cathy

Davy Crockett And A Mackinac Bridge Glass

Happy Friday Everyone! We`re off to town again today. This is almost like work because it takes all day to get there, shop and get home. We travel by paved back roads. Doesn`t take any longer, the scenery is better and it is not as hectic as the highway with people going to and leaving `Vegas. I hope to visit a few thrift stores after we pick up groceries.

I`m adding these vintage glasses to my Etsy store.





I was a great fan of Davy Crockett. All the boys had coonskin (rabbit fur) caps and the toy rifle. I recall that Walt Disney was on TV Sunday evenings and I never missed it. Followed the Davy Crockett series faithfully. My favorite episodes were those that included Mike Fink. Very Funny. We had all the Crockett jelly glasses, but over time they disappeared.

I have always like frosted glasses. My grandparents had entire sets and all sizes. Animals, cities, fish patterns. If I had room I`d start collecting them.

Today is Friday Flea Market. You can visit my blog shop, Cate`s Back Porch to see my Flea Market items this week. Don`t forget to scroll down the page to see the rest of the items in this shop.

Bonnie at Calamity Jane`s Cottage is having a Magazine Giveaway. It runs through Christmas. You just have to see these beautiful magazines!

Thank you again for visiting,
Cathy
