IMG_3588Hard to believe that it has already been two years since this happened.  Where does the time go?

As it turns out I had a nice visit with my daughter last month.  She served some snacks and I noticed that she used her blue bowl and some blue and white Pyrex plates that I had bought for her some time ago.  In fact…I think they were my very first Etsy purchase!  History in the making.

Anyway….when we were rummaging around shops in Florida I came across these little Pyrex bowls, made by Corning.  They seem to be the match for the plates I got her, so I had to pick them up.  They are small…only 5 1/2 inches in diameter.  I imagine that they are ‘berry bowls’.

I actually dragged them out (haven’t gotten them to her yet) last weekend and used them on the table with my own ‘blue’ bowls.  They are a great size for dips, flavoured butters and odds and sods!

If she doesn’t like them, they won’t be hard to keep.

010My eldest daughter asked me to buy her white and turquoise Pyrex dishes a couple years ago.  Last Christmas she asked for blue Le Creuset mugs.  While I am not a trained investigator, I discerned a pattern.  So….I have been picking up various blue and white pieces for her.

My son was home for a quick Easter visit and I got him to take these pieces up to his sister.  I liked the colours so I thought I’d snap this photo.  The two Libbey glasses and the Pyrex bowls.

My son brings back my car tomorrow.  We will be en route to Cuba, so I won’t know for a week if he has brought back any, or all, of these pieces.

Heisey Pompeii (2)I was trolling around Etsy when I came across these goblets.  They were identified as Heisey pieces, without a pattern ID.  It took a few minutes to determine that these glasses were etched in pattern #449 – Pompeii (blank #3389, Dusquesne).

This is Heisey’s Sahara (light yellow).

This pattern was produced form 1931-1937.  it is a very formal pattern – birds, trees, laurel wrapped columns.Heisey Pompeii (3)  I don’t think they are commonly available.

I can’t say that these are favourites – too formal for me – but I am very happy to have them, just for a look and see!

009Never did buy the console bowl and…..I sold the piece.  I’ve long been sorry that I sold it, although I don’t really know why since I do not collect flower frogs.

In any event I wanted to post this again in order to point to this site that I came across today – Black Poppy Glass.  The site owners have a huge collection of beautiful pieces, including a large collection of Cambridge’s flower frogs.  Definitely worth a look as there are colours and shapes, not often seen.

I am on vacation – yippie!  We are off on a road trip soon and I am certain that I will be picking up some treasures along the way.  I took the day off to work in the garden, but it rained all day!  I could have done laundry and packed, but decided to hit the local thrift and antique shops.

Now….I don’t need anything and haven’t bought a thing for ages, but….I couldn’t resist this pretty piece011.  It’s an 8 1/2 inch figural flower frog.  I’ve never owned one, so…I thought, well….why not?

The photos don’t really reflect the attractiveness of this piece.

Now I need to find a pink console bowl.
