When you go out thrifting multiple times per week you tend to bring home a lot of stuff that's not worthy of its own post. So you lump all the images together in a folder and drag them out for Sunday. Well, it's Sunday. Guess what. It's time to read issue #1 of
Stuff That Didn't Get Its Own Post. Oh, and just because I've written this every Sunday since the beginning -
Hey, it's Sunday and I don't work too hard on Sunday.
Here's issue #1
 |
A little colored glass thingie. Wonder Woman thinks it's Murano. I think not. |
Looks like it's all glass here in issue #1. A colored glass thingie, a martini pitcher with stirrer, and a gold vase.
Let's have a look.

Salvation Army Family Store, Cape Coral, FL. |
 |
It's nice, but I don't think it's "anything". |
 |
I didn't already have one. |
 |
This is the bottom end. Whadda ya think? Valuable or trinket? |
 |
I'm not sure that this is very old, but it was complete with stirrer. |
 |
And you know you NEVER find these things with their stirrer intact. |
 |
Now that I have one I'm afraid to use it. Don't want to break it. |
 |
Not sure what to call this. It's a bowl of some kind. |
 |
Is it Murano? Honestly, I don't know. Someone tell me. |
 |
I guess you could put M&Ms in it for when you want to give your kids a sugar rush. |
 |
Sure is pretty, isn't it? |
That's it for issue #1 of
Stuff That Didn't Get Its Own Post. See you next week.
We'll be right back with . . . more stuff.
Nice. I like all of it! The swung vase (top) would cost about $15 or more at an antique mall...more at a retro shop. The martini pitcher is priceless...duh. What else you gonna mix your martini in...a shaker? Don't be absurd, you'd bruise the Gin (or Vodka...if you grew up in a barn...like me). The pinched glass bowl is pretty but looks a little contemporary to me. This one I probably would have passed on as it looks a lot like the stuff I see at Big Lots...that also looks great, but I like to stick with vintage when I can.
ReplyDeleteHey, don't be too hard on yourself. James Bond drinks martinis made with vodka.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, he has them "shaken, not stirred" so I don't know. Maybe you're both born in a barn.
How do you look in a tux?
