Monday Morning Musings. . .

Add caption
Good morning everyone! I am sitting here watching the leaves drift by and listening to the birds signing. Kinda quiet and refreshing I must admit. Grateful for all the blessings of this day and this season of my life!

I have been drawn lately to vintage and antique lamps and lighting. Rather fascinating. I found a Gone With the Wind Type Lamp recently that could have been Fenton but is not marked and so I was hesitant to say for sure. We also have some other lamps we recently listed. Stop by and check them out. If you enjoy searching for and collecting lamps we would love to here of some of your finds or thoughts.

As always comments are welcome.

Does Age Matter??

Since I just had a birthday last weekend (yea, I am entering a new phase me thinks) I have pondered on age. Age seems less and less important to me these days unless of course your talking about antiques or vintage treasures!! I have friends who are many years my senior and still as active and productive as many younger counterparts. I am thankful God has protected me and held me in His Hands all these years. I was born a tiny 3 pound "blue baby." In those days being born in a small local hospital the chances of a preemie making it were rather slim. My parents were estranged and my mom really did not want another "mouth to feed." Well, not only did I make it I feel I have had a very productive life, married a wonderful man, have 2 incredible children, 7 amazing grandchildren, blessed beyond belief and certainly not done yet! Okay, enough about me - thanks for reading my tidbit.

We attended an estate sale last evening of a local doctor (dentist to be exact). They had some beautiful items. We purchased an elegant blue art glass, embossed vase. This has sent us on a search to see if we could identify the maker or pattern. We have established it is not Blenko since they do not do cold etching of any sort. We will be adding this to our collection to offer our cherished buyers plus a Federal Glass Carnival vase, 4 nesting Cinderella Pyrex mixing bowls and more!! Adios - gotta get back to listing now.

Thanks for following and as always comments are welcomed!!
