Michelle, lovely collection. My Mother recalls going to the movies back in the 1930's and 40's. At intermission, between the double feature, the theatre manager would draw lucky numbers from the torn ticket stubs of the attendees. The winners were called on stage to claim various carnival glass pieces , and the grand prize winner of the evening would receive an entire set of dishware to take home! Such a wonderful memory for a young girl. TFS.
Thank you - thank you for talking about carnival glass! It's so charming. I have a water pitcher, and a fruit bowl that's been in my family for over 100 years. I remember the original owner - my mother's Aunt Dena (1886-1965). This video brings back memories. Bless you!
Your slipper from Fenton is a cat slipper. If you look at it from the front, there is a cat's head at the top front of the slipper My father designed glassware for most of the companies, he has a Daisy Button patterned punchbowl set in the Smithsonian.
Good morning Michelle, I enjoyed seeing your collection and gorgeous pieces, and your end one you made great job, you could definitely re-sell them. TFS. Enjoy your weekend. Blessings to you and your day. Thanks again:)!
It's like a stroll down memory lane! Or at least my mother's (and sometimes my own) cabinets. I love carnival glass too. I had been thinking of doing a video of some of my pieces but I don't know anything about them. I'm always impressed about how much that you know. Thanks for sharing.
I got them all in the last few hours of an estate sale about 5 years ago. They were $7 each. From what I can tell, they are the really early ones...1910. I'll see what I can put together. I'm off to the flea market tomorrow, and Friday is garage sale day. So much fun coming up. FYI, I bought a turquoise Amish butterprint 444 bowl for $6.48 at Salvation Army yesterday. Working at getting some dark marks off it. It will be in my next video.
Hi Michelle, Love listening in to you. Calm and knowledgeable and I learn so much!! I have recently started thrifting and I am having such a good time. I'm not reselling, just to add to my own collections. I live in south Florida and the selection here is slim. I would love to try some of the thrift, vintage and antique stores in your area.
Love this video, my favorites are the slipper, the clear pieces with the iredescent tones, and the tooth pick holder, the purple vase. Have a blessed week.
I want to say that something wonderful I have learned from you is to buy a piece even if it is supposed to be part of a set - and then you might find the rest of the set later. I did that with some small blue bowls and at one store I found two, then a week later at another store I found another two! I wanted four - got it. thanks
MICHELLE, YOU HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF CARNIVAL GLASSWARE..... THIS IS MY FAVORITE GLASSWARE, IT REMINDS ME OF MY MAMA'....... THANK YOU FOR SHARING..... CHRISTINA
My mom had a whole bunch of your collection. She had 2of the wedding dish. The candy clover, my mom had 3 of those. She had a couple of the tumblers of the brown glasses. It is amazing to see these. I don’t know what happened to most of her pieces. Thank you for showing these.
love all your vintage finds..how fun! could you possibly do a video showing us how you package the bigger items to ship? wondering how they won't break..lol
Thank you....That's a good idea....the key to packing safely is to make sure when the package is taped and ready to ship nothing in the box should rattle! I also use a heck of a lot of packing material :) Michelle
I love carnival glass I have some of the grape pattern a pitcher and three glasses that where my grandmothers. I love them. Thanks so much for sharing. Hugs Nola
Hi Michelle, after watching your Vlogs, I had started thrifting again and yesterday I found the three Corning bowls that nest in varying shades of BLUE just like the ones you found in shades of brown. I am still excited and could not wait to tell you and say thanks! 💐
My Grandma had a house full of carnival glass. i was fascinated by it as a child and dismayed when my father got rid of it all when Grandma went to a nursing home. He thought it was hideous. i remember she had a lot of green, blue and purple. i love the blue Fenton piece of yours.
I was in Goodwill & happened to find 25 various pieces of red Kings Crown for $2.00 each. I picked them all up. One of my children collects them. Great find!
My goodwill boutique today had a whole set of red. I forget how much they wanted, but it was up there. What would be a good price for the red? I don’t usually see that color. Thanks! Love your videos and demeanor.
hi Michelle, i just found that flower dish (in the background at 6;33) at my local goodwill for along with one shaped like a butterfly $5.00 each. they compliment my amber collection well...
Thanks Angela...:) Send me a pic of your plate or try going on ebay and scrolling thru to see if you find one like yours then verify on replacements.com or just send me a pic...would love to see it!! Michelle xo
Janet my dear friend....I don't really know what my favorite collection is...it changes from time to time....:) Michelle xo....hmmmm possibly my Jadite collection though......xo
Wowsers, you know a lot about glassware! This was very informative. Most of your items seem to be around $15 in value, do you charge the buyers for shipping? Im interested in what kind of margin you have there. I imagine the cost to ship those probably averages the same as their value. Especially for priority so you get the insurance. Neat stuff! I subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing :) The fact that they are all around $15 is mere coincendce...most of that carnival glass is pretty common. I do charge for shipping. I try to ship flate rate whenever possible so I can pack the hell out of the box...one cost.....I try to get atleast 3xs what I paid for items...sometimes I get much more...sometimes I don't...lol...Once in awhile I ship free and just add the cost of shipping to price of item...some people seem to prefer that!!! Also I like to "bundle" items so people get more for there money when shipping as you know shipping cost is outrageous! :) Michelle
You found a great collection of the carnival glass! I just picked some up at a garage sale also, is there a site where you can research the specific patterns? Or do you go to replacements.com? I picked up 4 of the candy clovers you showed in this video, and didn't know the pattern till you showed this. Thank you!!
hi Debra! Thank you ..it was a few years of finds that were for the most part sitting in my garage :( I do go to replacements, sometimes I go to Ebay and then verify on replacements...sometimes I just google carnival glass and spend a few hours doing research...:) Michelle
I'm just discovering your channel! I'm a thrift-a-holic and I have a large collection of glassware and decorative plates. I often see those glass shades, but I never know what they are used for. Can you explain or do you have a video with some examples? Thank you so much.
Hi thanks so much...I sell a lot of those "shades" actually picked up a few today! They can be used as replacement sconces or I actually use mine for my ceiling fans..I just replace the old coverings. xo Michelle
How do you clean the sharpie and hard water off these thrift store pieces? I've bought some awesome things but can't get the sharpie or hard water off without ruining the finish.
Yeah Nadine...I hear ya...I get a discount and it gets past down to my buyers..but postage is crazy that's why I try to bundle things together so my buyers get the most for their money.
I hate to hear the footed fruit bowl by Indiana Glass isn't worth much because I have 5 of them, blue carnival, green carnival, marigold carnival, clear with a green tinge and a light pink one. Thank you for the info.
Sorry Mary...I haven't heard that in a long time...I am sorry you had trouble hearing me...let me know if you cant hear on my next video...I hope you watch ! :) Michelle

Wow! That's great JRS...The blue ones are so pretty! Happy thrifting and let me know what else you find xox :) Michelle
I'm not all that crazy about amber glass, I think it might be because I like brighter colors. You do have an eye for some cool stuff ☺.
Thanks Vinny...and I agree!! Purple is my favorite :) Michelle
My Grandma had a house full of carnival glass. i was fascinated by it as a child and dismayed when my father got rid of it all when Grandma went to a nursing home. He thought it was hideous. i remember she had a lot of green, blue and purple. i love the blue Fenton piece of yours.
Thank you Karen..I love the blue & purple the best...wish I had more of it :) Michelle

Funny, I got that same square covered candy dish as a wedding gift in 1974.
I was in Goodwill & happened to find 25 various pieces of red Kings Crown for $2.00 each. I picked them all up. One of my children collects them. Great find!

Thanks Freddie...gonna do a packing video one of these days...:) Michelle
어릴적 엄마가 생일파티때면 아름다운 조각이 있는 유리 화채볼에 과일과 쥬스를 넣은 맛있는 과일칵테일을 해주셨어요. 그래서 아름다운 조각이 있는 글라스를 보면 어릴적 즐거웠던 추억이 떠올라 즐거워요.
The pink is so pretty would love to see other pieces
Your videos have help me so much. Great info. Thanks. Blessings.

How do I see your Carnival Glass on EBay? Nice collection
I own the Anchor Hocking Aurora iridescent pitcher and have 5 glasses...You did not mention how much it is worth?
Wow..not too many out there....probably worth about $75+ Michelle :)

Thrifting 101...Identify & Buy! Vintage Glassware l
Dr.Lori the appraiser tagged you in your video.. here..:)
Really???? I will have to check...can you be more specific???
She called Dr.Lori that appraisal of everything...google Dr.lori on u tube
I do watch her!!
Beautiful
How do you clean the sharpie and hard water off these thrift store pieces? I've bought some awesome things but can't get the sharpie or hard water off without ruining the finish.
If soap and water do not work I go to my magic eraser... if that doesn't work rubbing alcohol usually does the trick! xo
@@thrifting101...identifybuy3 Thanks so much. Didn't want to ruin my finds. I'd love you to make a video on how to clean your thrift store finds. 😊
Nice pieces thanks
YW :) Michelle
아름다운 컬러의 글라스가 많아요.
Where did she go?
What is your Ebay Seller name? I am interested i your amber glass! Thanks you!
Hi Sue its Roselynn3...It is at the end of all my vidoes...Inbox me about what you are interested in :) Michelle xo
Thank you!
I don't shop on Ebay much any more because the postage is so high now.
Yeah Nadine...I hear ya...I get a discount and it gets past down to my buyers..but postage is crazy that's why I try to bundle things together so my buyers get the most for their money.
Great video! Do you know of any good books with info about glass?
I don't use reference books myself...although I really should...lol...but there are books on everything you ask for! Try Amazon!!! TFW xo
I hate to hear the footed fruit bowl by Indiana Glass isn't worth much because I have 5 of them, blue carnival, green carnival, marigold carnival, clear with a green tinge and a light pink one. Thank you for the info.
Hi Gloria...what a wonderful collection you have!! To me they are priceless xo :)
@@thrifting101...identifybuy3 I bought them from a man whose Aunt had been in the Flea Mkt business for 5o yrs. He charged me 50 cents each.
Do you ever get any toothpick holders Michelle?
Yup! I have found quite a few! xo
Where do we find you on ebay?
Roselynn3 :)
The triangle bowls are blackberries, not grapes.
Hi I am fairly sure but not 100% that a lustre effect is caused by salt put in with the glass when molten
yes, iridescent glass was made with salt and chemical compounds to produce that iridescent glow
None of this is real "carnival glass". These pieces are all later from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. True carnival glass is from the 1920s, 30s, and 40s.
I have tons that I want sell...
you neex to speak louder. I have my phone on the loudest, and I still have a problem hearing you.
Sorry Mary...I haven't heard that in a long time...I am sorry you had trouble hearing me...let me know if you cant hear on my next video...I hope you watch ! :) Michelle
Maybe you could possibly need a hearing aid.
So beautiful!
