It is very hard to believe that it has been a month and a half since my last post here! I have by far not given up on my endeavor, quite the opposite! I have been incredibly busy organizing my wares, cataloging, researching and photographing, and then finally, organizing!! I have also had time to…

Amber, Always on My Mind

April 30, 2018 Shannon No Comments

When it comes to the color amber, it’s been a fashionable for decades, especially during the Depression area, and through to the 70’s. Admittedly, amber is one of the easier colors to find when it comes to Depression and vintage art glass, and glassware, but the patterns and shapes are not always as easy to…

In the beginning…

April 23, 2018April 25, 2018 Shannon No Comments

It is said, in the beginning there was light. My own beginning started decades ago (*ahem*, we won’t go further into that), in a small town far, far away from where I am now.
