Stained Glass Scraps, etc.

19 years ago

OK, finally took pics of this weekends score. Here's the stained glass scraps. They're awesome and there has to be about 10-15lbs of all different colours.

These are the tiles that were on the curb with a free sign last week.

All of this was from a lady who held a "free garage sale". She set it all up on tables and didn't want a penny for any of it!

The yellow rose china is beautiful and has 22kt gold around the rim. Not sure if it's worth anything but it sure is pretty. Here's a pic of the back of one of the plates.

Found a box of birdhouses on the curb. These are gonna be fun! I want to do the lighthouse with river rocks, I think. They're all a little worn and weathered, but I'll be able to fix them up no problem. The little sun face was in the box with them, thought it might make a cute wall hanging once it's mosaiced.

This is another really cool curb find. I have no idea what it was used for, but how could I resist?

It's solid wood, really sturdy, hollow inside and has a hole in the top.

Now that I have some stuff to mosaic ON, I just need to find the time to get started on a project. I can't wait!

    Cindy, Where EXACTLY do you live again? I'll be right over to scour your neighborhood! What a find! Those tiles sure look vintage to me. And the scraps! And the flowers on those dishes! Beautiful! Don't know what that wooden thing WAS but it could be the base for a market umbrella, to cover your mosaic table, don'tcha know?

    I'm w/LIL: mouth on floor. What a huge haul on the glass nippits, and I'd mosaic the pedestal for a plant stand.

    Sheesh, I forgot to resize the pics. Sorry they're so huge, lol.

    Rosemarythyme - C'mon over, I'll show ya all the good spots. I'm about an hour north of Toronto in Barrie, ON. The tiles are definitely vintage, it'll be fun to use them in a project. DH and I were talking about the pedestal when we got it and that is EXACTLY what we thought of using it for. Gonna have to see if our umbrella fits.

    Shrty, lilym, chickee, chris2u - Thanks, I love hunting for new treasures and sharing pics with you guys. I hope no one is getting sick of the pics, because I really like getting everybody's feedback and project ideas.

    Annie - You can come shopping with me and Rosie and then we'll go back to your place to sell it, lol. I am feeling a little guilty about the yellow rose china, it's not even chipped or very worn. Might have to do a little research before I smash 'em up.

    Kate and Slow - Thanks, I spent a couple of hours last night sorting the glass pieces by colour. I'm only part way through the first box, lol. It'll be worth it instead of searching through it when I'm in the middle of a project. Plant stand is definitely an option for the pedestal. Hmmm....gonna have to think about what to do with it.

    Toomuch, that's exactly the problem, lol. Too many ideas running through my head and not enough projects getting done. I'm gonna have to ground myself....right after I go check out the curb alert posting on Freecycle for a "decorative glass insert for a door". It's Ronnie's fault for posting those pics:) LMAO, I can't stop, too much cool stuff out for the taking.

    Janie and Maria - Thanks, glad you enjoyed the pics!

    ******** When I Was doing suncatchers " full speed " -- I'd have dishpans full of scraps that I gave away .... probably about 70 pounds . I might keep them this time around !

  • 19 years ago

    70 POUNDS?????? WOW, you must have made some people very happy by sharing all that!

    By the way, I did end up getting the window glass, lol. Think I'll try a GOG with my stained glass scraps. I'll post pics tomorrow.
