I collect Silver Overlay. I started about 10 years ago and I have about 30 pieces. These are 2 of my favorite ones. Most often your Silver Overlay comes in clear glass and of course the color stuff cost more money, but then it's harder to find. In fact I only have these 2 and then I have a pitcher with a set of 4 glasses that are colored.
It was not really a problem when I was up in Alaska making good money to collect this. Whenever I would go on vacation I would check out antique stores and estate sales to see what I could find. Now that I have moved here to Wisconsin and I'm not making the money that I used to make. I don't even go into antique stores! I just know that there are beautiful and wonderful stuff that I'm passing by! But I need to feed the dog. (Stupid dog! but I love her )
Being that my sister is going to be here tomorrow! I still had my 2 boxes of Silver Overlay to unpack. So I started to do it and realized that I don't have a place to display the whole collection so I just will have these 2 out for awhile. And Patty will just have to deal with the 2 boxes in her room. Hey, I washed the sheets for her! What more could an older sister want? Other then a younger sister pointing out that she is older! She wants to go to Red Lobster as we don't have that in Alaska and maybe also Olive Garden, for the same reason. So one more night and she will be here! Yahoo!
That is very pretty silver overlay. I bet there's lots more down there than up here. But it would be very tempting when you don't have enough money. If I get into bed and an asian beetle joins me you're going to hear it loud and clear!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to meet Patty. Hey Kris, be sure to take her to The Grain Bin for a fresh cinnamon roll.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous but I understand why you never showed me your silver overlay. I would of figured out a way to own it now wouldn't I? Its funny to me how we all like that old stuff. Let us know when PK gets there.
