You may recall when I began a search last year for Anchor Hocking vintage, emerald green, short [3 1/2 inch], squatty, ruffled vases to go with a St. Patrick's Day tablescape. Finding them has been slow, but I managed to find two in antique malls and one at an estate sale, all at reasonable prices. I used two for St. Patrick's Day this year.

While looking at estate sale photos last night, one jumped out at me. The estate sale was five miles from my house, so I concluded it was worth getting up early for. The sale began at 9:00 a.m. and I knew I should get there around 8:15 to get a low number for entrance into the house. That meant a 7:00 a.m. wake-up time. My hubby and I were #24 and 25 and were among the third group admitted inside the house. I went straight to the kitchen because it looked like that was where the photo was taken.

I began thinking about what other tablescape where I could use these vases and it dawned on me that they would look lovely at each place setting of my Bavarian Daffodil China. So when I got home I did a quick place setting. Yep! They're perfect with the china. Since I have service for 10, it looks like the search will continue for six more. ;-)
One last note... My AOL account has been restored and I'm one relieved and happy person. Now I pray there'll be no more encounters with hackers.
Congratulations on your found treasure. Enjoy!

So glad your email has been restored. What a nuisance! Oh no, six more vases? Actually I remember that vase. I think my mom, my grandmother and my aunt all had one and I think they were all green. I'm not too sure but I might still have my mother's. They must be scarce because everyone still likes them and isn't giving them up!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the vase you wanted was still there when you got to the sale. So pretty with the daffodils!
