The thrill of the hunt is sometimes surpassed by the thrill of someone shopping for you.
Linda is purging her collections and asked if I would be interested in them.
For several weeks she would send pics for me to choose.
Of course if you read her blog, you know it would not be Linda without a piece of pink McCoy pottery.
A pair of black glass creamers.
The blue sugar and creamer with the black rims are darling.
Dinner service for six with a sugar and a creamer to match.
A small bud vase.
A pair of S&P's.
Two green sherbets.
My favorite is the aqua pot strainer.
Or it might be the tiny measuring scoop in the middle.
Chicken S&P's.
Leaf dishes - probably bridge ash trays.
Probably born mid-1960's.
Yes, they work.
I was able to pick up three AM stations clearly.
Both do have snooze buttons.
There was another box of assorted trays and other items.
Linda's gift to me was so special it brought tears to my eyes.
She gave me several photographs of her paternal grandmother. (She had duplicates.)
So from baby ...
To young girl ....
I present Miss Emmagene Sinclair.
Thank you so much, Linda. I will treasure these.
See y'all!

What gorgeous photos from Linda! I also like the cobalt glass. xoxo su
ReplyDeleteVery sweet gift from Linda. Her grandmother was quite beautiful. sb
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to have that pot strainer except hers had a green handle. Don't know what happened to it. LOVED it! Wish they still made them. What fun shopping at a friend's house!!
ReplyDeleteMy dealer friends and I buy for each other quite a bit. We also recently started trading items that seem to do better in each others separate malls.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad my treasures found a new home with you! I know you will sell some and keep some. I would not share those photos with just anyone, but I KNEW you would treasure them. She was a beauty wasn't she. Oh, and I've already started another small pile of things for you...photos soon.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda

Miss Emmagene was stunning! You got some wonderful things from Linda. I'm feeling a bit jealous of all the little creamers. ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch great treasures! How nice for Linda to let go so you can have them all. Love the series of pictures of Emmagene. So special!
ReplyDeleteThe leaf dishes can be used for candy or nuts!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Linda offered to you. The photos are really special and even more special that she shared them with you.
ReplyDeleteThe cobalt glass is my favorite. I love the creamers and the shakers! You always find such delightful things, and I love living vicariously through you! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThose cobalt blue pieces are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow enjoyable to see all of the treasures. The cobalt blue glass is such a lovely shade of blue and always catches my eye whenever I see it.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! Those cobalt pieces are fabulous. I have never seen blue salt and pepper shakers like that.
