Yard Sale Find.... anchor hocking/fire king jadeite alice plates

Hello vintage lovers!! I am so excited for this post. I have had a lot of repro jadeite on my blog recently, mainly because I can't find original jadeite around my town. But a few saturdays ago I found my first two pieces of original 1940s jadeite at a yard sale!! These anchor hocking/fire king alice plates were 1.00 a piece. They were pretty grubby but nothing a little elbow grease could not take care of. I absolutely love them and I think the alice print (small flowers) is my favorite. I am so excited to add these to my jadeite collection! 

Vacation Hobby Lobby Haul.... repro jadeite

     Hello vintage lovers!! I went to hobby lobby while on vacation just to see if they had any jadeite left and was happy to find a few things!! I actually went to two but only one had the goods lol! These items were 75% off  that is the main reason I wanted to check it out. Was hoping to find a pitcher but we can't always get what we want, was happy to get the cake plate though. 

This cake plate was regular 29.95 so I got it for 7.49! 

These bowls were regular 11.99 so I got them for 2.99!

These sherbet cups were 9.99 a piece so I paid 2.49 for them! 

The cup was regular 9.99 so I paid 2.49 for it, and the goblet was regular 12.99 so I paid 3.49 for it!

Vacation Antique Mall Haul... hen on nests-HON

Hello vintage lovers!! Wanted to give these beauties have their own post. I love me some hens on a nest, I have a couple already but what a few more? These were purchased at an antique mall in Tennessee. 

This was a holy grail item of mine, of course I wanted the vintage one but repro will have to do. This jadeite beauty was only $13.95! 

This delphite blue mini hen was $3.00

This clear green guy was $3.95

This opaque pink girl was $3.95

Then we have another jadeite green guy but this is the mini version I got him for $3.00! 

Vacation Antique Mall Haul.... repro jadeite and pie bird

Hello vintage lovers!! While I was on vacation I got to go to a few antique malls to look for some jadeite. It is all repro jadeite but I still love it and can not even find that anywhere around where I live. The prices was really great for these items too, online they are double what I paid. 

This measuring and mixing cup with juicer lid was 18.95!

These sugar spoon holders was $3.00 a piece!

I have also been wanting to get a pie bird and this little guy was so cute, not sure if he is vintage or not. He does have crazing but that may be able to be replicated. I paid 5.50 for him. 

How Many Collections Can One Person Have??

     Hello vintage lovers!! I thought it would be a good time for me to jump on here and do a post about all of my collections. Since it is my one year anniversary for starting this blog it seem appropriate! I know it has been a while since I posted on here but life does seem to get in the way sometimes but I am trying to get back at it. I can not believe it has been a whole year since I started this blog, time passes by too quickly that is for sure. Now without further ado here are my many collections I have, and please let me know if it is too many...

-ceramic made in japan animals
-ceramic made in japan girl figure
-ceramic elves
-acrylic carnival prize animals
-glass birds
-jewelry
-milk glass vases
-jadeite (right now I mostly have repro but I am trying to get originals in my price range)

     I going to add pioneer woman decor to this also because she is inspired by vintage items. This list is only my vintage items, I also have a plethora of non-vintage items I collect as well.. My husband is so thrilled, I'm sure you can imagine. I do not know why I love collecting but it makes me so happy to own these items. Most of the time I am the only one who actually sees them displayed in my home but I love it.
