From the time I was very young, I remember going to visit my aunts and grandmothers, and thoroughly enjoying helping them wash and put away their beautiful crystal and china dishes. My Aunt Elizabeth had the prettiest decorative pieces such as figurines and cut glassware. I believe I have a piece or two that belonged to her. My Aunt Helen always had beautiful crocheted linens which she hand crocheted and a huge picture window that was filled with colorful glassware. I have a few pieces belonging to her and you can see them setting proudly in my kitchen window with flowers in them. My dear Aunt Selma had everything. Oh how I loved staying with her. She would serve me chunks of oranges and apples for breakfast in her finest glassware, and orange juice in the prettiest of her etched juice glasses. I don't have any of her china pieces, though I have the best memories. My Nana on my father's side had her kitchen cabinets full of every sort of piece from juicers to beautiful serving pieces. My little Papa still has all those beautiful things in the home they lived in all those years ago. My Nana on my mother's side would set the most beautiful table I ever remember. All are passed away now except for her. And though she doesn't set a table any longer, I am so blessed to have many of her china and crystal pieces that I love to use everyday and remember those special occasions she would use them for. I love fond memories like that, don't you?

This page is a tribute to those memories. And I just got word that I am about to inherit yet another piece of the family's treasured pieces, a silver bowl. I can not wait to look at it, touch it and display it.

Though the items I am selling on this page are NOT from my precious collection of family heirlooms, they may become part of your collection someday that you can pass down to your children. I will share pictures with you from my china cabinets, and though my heirlooms aren't for sale, there may be others I can part with if you inquire.

I love anything with pretty cuts. Of course anything with pink or roses is a must have. My dish drainer that sets on the kitchen counter is always full of beautiful pieces, as I hate to put everything away all the time.

The tiny little kitchen is still getting some fresh paint. And I will share my before and after pictures soon.

Enjoy this page. I will try to update it often. I will keep searching for beautiful things such as Homer Laughlin, Hammersley, Royal Albert, A Hawkes Cut Glass, Waterford Crystal, compote bowls, tea sets, sugar and creamer sets, candlestick/candle holders, vases and much more.
