Thrift Store Findings!!!!!

18 years ago

For all you garden junkers and junkettes I have to share this with you. I found two blue items Monday morning and this is jus the beginning of a soon to be a garden masterpiece. I can't wait to find more blue glass. Come Monday I'll be scoping out my store again. I hope you are all enjoying springtime!!!!!!!! :)

    Cool, I have some of those blue bottles! We save all our "pretty" wine bottles and keep them on a ledge in our basement stairwell. Guess I should use some of them! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

    Love that candle chandelier thingy in the background!

    Rmlanza, check this out--here's your glass on ebay---
    "GEORGE & MARTHA WASHINGTON FOSTORIA BLUE GLASS GOBLETS Item number: 350054806159." Thought your glass looked familiar.

    Nice finds. I love cobalt bottles. I have some to finally make a bottle tree if I can decide how I want to do the base part.
    I'd LOVE to see a photo of that chandelier ? in the background, looks wonderful.

    Ooops, that's not MY goblet Jeanette, that's gardengirl's. LOL! WISH it were mine though but thanks for the link, now I might have to bid on those!

    Sorry, rmlanza. I suffer from "Blonde Brain" disease. It's been there all my life, but I find that as I get older, it has really progressed beyond control(especially late at night-which is when I saw the post). I have not yet found the proper meds to control this. I even tried to be a redhead once, but that didn't work either.LOL
    As I get older, I find that the body gets larger and the brain gets smaller!

    Great finds!

    FYI...for those looking for blue bottles...if you happen to be wine drinkers, there is a really good Riesling that comes in cobalt blue bottles. I can't remember the brand name, but there's a little guy in a lederhosen on the bottle. Tasty!

    Thought I'd let you know that the George & Martha Washington Goblet are from AVON! My dear mother gave me a pair some 25 years ago! She also gave me a small creamer but can't remember what is on it. All three were sold by AVON (she was a representative for many years) and they came with a candle. I still have these but packed away!

    gardengirl, I'm brunette and suffer from blonde brain disease myself! ;o) I think it's also known as ADD...hee hee. Adderall is a wonderful drug AND it makes me not want to eat, hence the return of my high school figure (well, not quite...let's just say high school weight after having 3 kids...sigh). At least there's something positive about being an airhead (not you, ME!). LOL!

    There's also a sake by Momokawa that comes in cobalt bottles and a blueberry wine (FANTASTIC) from Dennis Vineyards (here in NC) that's in cobalt. We ordered a case of their different berry wines a few years ago, wish I'd kept more of the bottles!
