I love this Blendo Glass set. I spent more than I should, but man oh man if that orange isn't fantastic!
Orange Blendo Pitcher and Glasses |
One of the better aspects of getting up at an early hour on the weekends is that my husband is gleefully right by my side, ready to go. He loves searching out the vinyl at sales while I'm scouring for what I look for, and he usually comes home with a few gems. These records are his, but that fantastic mid-century LP rack is all mine.
A few pieces of Mexican pottery. A fun Stoneware decanter and and Tonala bird.
I love this! I don't have a clue what you would properly call it, so I'm sticking with a squat pitcher.
This was my favorite favorite favorite find of today. It is a Mexican Folk Art Tree of Life. Look closely and you will see Eve tempting Adam with an apple and the snake wrapping itself around the tree. It is so bright and colorful and I am going to work overtime to find it a home in my house- much to the dismay of my husband.
A beautifully crewel embroidered tablecloth. The stitching on it is flawless, but there are a few minor age stains I'll need to work on and try to lift out. Any suggestions on spot stain removal for old linens?
So that's it! How'd you do this week?
Love that squat pitcher. I don't know what it is other than a beauty. All the best.
ReplyDeleteFantastic FINDS!

Love the Orange Pitcher Set! Have a great and safe trip! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that pitcher and glasses set. You called it a Blendo, but it looks like Fenton glass to me. My mom has a similar pitcher with juice glasses. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteHow funny - I just picked up a trio of yellow Blendo juice glasses this morning. I'd not seen them before and now here you go and show me some more!
ReplyDeletethat tree of life is the BEST. great find!
ReplyDeleteTry borax on those old stains. Mix 1/2 cup borax per gallon of water, let soak for 10-30 minutes. Rinse & repeat, if needed. Hope it helps!
ReplyDeleteThose Blendo glasses are beautiful! My mother has a purple set that belonged to her grandmother. I absolutely love it.
ReplyDeleteSwooning here over all of your finds!

I am sure this is not the recommended method of lifting stains, but it worked for me - I had a vintage crewel piece with what appeared to be tiny rust stains in one corner. I dabbed the stains with a q-tip dipped in hydrogen peroxide and the stains disappeared. Later sold the piece on Etsy. By the way, I love your shop photography on Etsy!
