My sister was 19 years older than I was and I spent a lot of time at her house growing up, I was a very picky eater, and at dinner she would would tell me the “Blue Willow” story as I cleared a portion of my dinner, which encouraged me to eat,I still have those dishes 50 years later and my kids and grand kids got to hear the story as well, the lovers turning into bird always intrigued me, she said that is how love birds got their name.
My husband received his grandmother’s Blue Danube; an original 8 piece setting that had become random. I’ve spent the last two years completing a 12 person setting with casserole dishes, vegetable, relish & gravy boat accessories. I had a lot of fun hunting down pieces. 🤠
I just bought some Lenox butler’s pantry salt and pepper shakers for 6 dollars at a local antique shop. I now flip and the the stamps like you. I even said on some items, “ I’ll let someone else enjoy them “, like you!
What a fabulous store! I recently aquired several Waterford pieces at an local online Estate auction…my favorite is my biscuit barrel!!! The design of mine appears flipped from yours. I would love to know the pattern. I have my Mother in Law’s Blue Onion dishes. Hers, now mine, are ironstone, made in England. I have a coffee pot, creamer and sugar, a covered casserole and canisters! I am fortunate she left them for me.
I think you’re ready for PBS on Saturday mornings! The Waterford, once again, is just unbelievable!!! The Maeve biscuit jar for the price of a lipstick…and the pitcher…oh my! The cake plate and sterling! I doubled up my cake stands to serve chocolate dipped strawberries on our family’s Christmas Eve sweet table! Thank you…just a fabulous video once again! ❤❤❤
LOVE glass door knobs! In fact my apartment in a 1915 building has them on every door. But beware! Glass door knobs can and do explode in the event of fire and you can find yourself trapped. Therefore it has become illegal to install them with the passage (door latch mechanism) intact, keeping you from getting locked in. When renovating I endeavored to restore "original" knobs where they had been replaced and could not find new-made sets with the passage mechanism, and my contractor would not install vintage ones. For my knobs, original to the building, I close the door without allowing the passage to engage...just in case.
Jim O’Leary of Waterford used to come to Marshall Fields in downtown Chicago every year. My husband, also Jim O’Leary, met him and they exchanged business cards. I have three pieces he designed and also signed. This was probably in the 70’s or 80’s. I didn’t know he had passed away. I treasure those pieces. Thought you might be interested in this little story about him. Love watching your videos and always learn something new.
That Waterford Seahorse pitcher that you featured at 15:17 and 38:12 was made for you Lady Mary Beth! 💎 💎 💎 The Anchor Hocking MCM gazelle glasses were interesting (24:04) and I always love seeing Belleek pieces (30:52) 🍀🍀🍀
Love seeing the glass carriers. When I was a child my Grandmother lived across the street from Churchill Downs . She'd serve us cold drinks in her colorful aluminum glasses brought out in a glass carrier. We'd watch the horses and play in her backyard while sipping 7-Up! Wonderful memory.
Spotted the old Charles Chips can!!!!! It was a wonderful day when the Charles Chips guy came by in his car and dropped off a full can of chips, thank you for reviving the memory. Will have to go to this antique mall some day😊
This is a wonderful antique shop with so many beautiful and interesting pieces. You have chosen some very nice treasures to take home. The green Fenton opalescence pitcher is absolutely stunning, so beautiful and different. You are so correct - go deep into the booths and always look up and below too. Thank you for sharing!
i have a small collection of jadeite and especially enjoy using it during Spring and with my Easter decor. Recently I've seen it mixed with red for a Christmas display. I will be giving that a try next Christmas season.
Just so relaxing and enjoyable. Loved the mix of baleek and light green glass. I love “shopping at home” but once in a while I thrift a fantastic piece that becomes part of my collection. Thank you for all the information and wonderful ideas.
Yes glass doorknobs! I live in a 1923 two family home. I recently had to replace the door knobs on my closet door and was grateful to find an eBay reseller to purchase new old ones. It’s interesting that our floor has all glass doorknobs, while the 2nd floor has all plain metal doorknobs. My guess is that the first floor was built as the owners apartment and the 2nd floor was for tenants.
I have a large collection of vintage jadeite! I display and use my pieces daily. It is getting harder to find, and is more expensive than when I started my collection many years ago.
I collect Mosser jadeite, which they're still producing, so my collection is brand new. I'm fussy about color and the Mosser shade of jadeite is just perfect to my eye - it's a bit brighter and more minty than other brands. I just love it, it's so gorgeous 😍
What an interesting antique store. I was so surprised I have that exact biscuit barrel by Waterford crystal, I found it in a thrift store in Atlanta about 19 years ago for $5. It was very dirty but it peaked my interest. After a good wash it just sparkled and I was thrilled it was what I suspected. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to each one. Hope your new year is starting off well.
@@cheryldavis8776 Same pattern, with different shaped glasses. They overlap with balloon wines having the identical shape and size. These were used interchangeably for filling orders with inventory.
Wonderful Waterford finds! You have the best luck finding Waterford there in Texas. I love Waterford but I only have 3 pieces. My first piece I got about 20 years ago was the Penrose flower vase.
Wonderful finds . I love your pitcher so much and the biscuit jar is just a bargain . Thanks for all your explanations it.s so interesting to hear you taking about . Have a nice week . Dominique die Elsasserin
Lady Mary Beth you scored at this wonderful Antique store! The Waterford crystal was a fantastic buy! I am on the hunt for a Waterford crystal biscuit barrel. I found one locally but the top was missing! I’ll keep hunting. Great video.
Greetings from Texas! We are preparing for a hard freeze here. 🥶 Stay tuned for a Goodwill and estate sale. Filmed lots last week in case roads are closed.
Oh my, $32 for those six elegant glasses... That is a steal! I literally just paid $102 right before Christmas for eight iced tea elegant glasses in the Navarre Clear by Fostoria.
I can’t to see all the things you purchase at all these shops along the way. This was a fun video and I’m going to try the idea of folding over the EPP edges with the cardboard templet. Have fun you guys.
Beautiful thistle pattern on those Luckenbooth place settiings! 💜 Wonderful score on the Waterford biscuit jar & Seahorse pitcher, and thanks for enlightening me on Vermooth droppers & wattering cans...had no idea! 🤣
Well I fit right in to your category. A hot mess home .😁I have been decluttering organizing..and deep ckeaning..You have made a few amazing changes in your home.Love it all. Bravo to your Christmas chance to sing for service. Pretty trickier with the windows. So cool...Enjoyed today's home tour. Thank you for sharing your home with us.Happy New Year. 🎉
I just found your channel. I love your style, your knowledge, and the entire format. I will learn a lot watching you…💗🌸You have a new follower and subscriber…Thank you
I have a few pieces of jade ite in my beginner collection. We have located them in Round Top Tx during their semi-annual antique show from one specific vendor inside Cole's Antiques. We have two mugs, four "Alice" c/s sets, and a juice reamer w measuring cup. We recently saw some dinner plates at the Alamo Antiques Mall in downtown San Antonio this weekend, but left them behind-- having regrets about that today.
Imagine my astonishment in seeing the frosted Viking horn frosted glasses just beside the Blue Willow (6:50). I thrifted 3 of them over a year ago for an excellent price for my son and am hoping to find more. I know I can find them on eBay but am trying to find them in the wild. The mug rack would also be practical to display your assortment of Christmas mugs. And then the vintage crinkly amber glasses (24:00) (don't offhand recall the name) that my daughter has inherited from my mother, in which she served Eiskaffee, and continues to collect. I must visit Texas - with an empty suitcase. of course! You scored some great finds today in this fun video. Could you talk about how you wrap and carefully transport your finds when you travel overseas and back Thanks! S.
I used to see blue willow everywhere here, now that I want some it is scarce. I will keep shopping, I refuse to pay retail! There is one company in Vermont still selling new blue willow.
Glad to find your channel. This past week I found a 6” master cutter Waterford bowl at a my favorite thrift store for 12$. I have found a Waterford pitcher for 20$ and a 10” Waterford footed bowl for 10$ in North Carolina.
Blue Danube is my Grandma’s pattern that I still have today.❤❤❤
Love the classic blue and white pattern. Glad you have this heirloom set. 💙

Very interesting!
My home was built in 1927, and every room has a glass doorknob on the inside and the outside of its door(s).
I love them!
It’s always fun to browse with you Lady Mary Beth. 😊❤
Thanks for joining me for antique shopping!
Bom dia! Achei tudo muito lindo e interessante!

I love this store. I go in there every time I go to Tomball. I live in Cypress Texas. I found a very nice Botanic Garden decorative teapot there.

You are so lucky to find an awesome deal on the Waterford biscuit barrel. I wonder if the Fenton green opalescent pitcher glows? It's so pretty 😊

Lots of interesting finds at Cherry 🍒 Street Antiques today! I’ll have to check this shop out soon! 😊
It’s a Mid-Century dream, with a side of Waterford.

Thankful that Mosser makes these vintage pieces. I follow them, and have purchased at a consignment store. .
❤ your videos are always informative and entertaining..thank you so much!
That divided willow pattern dish would be perfect for serving the fixings for a Chinese Hot Pot! X
Great use for the grill plate. Reminds me of fondue dishes in Germany.
@@LadyMaryBeth exactly. I am still using my original fondue set from the mid-70s and that was a wedding gift from Germany! X
Hi Mary Beth, my grandmother had the glass door knobs. Great find on the Waterford crystal. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful

Incredible find! Maeve and Tramore are the same pattern, so could be called either one.
@LadyMaryBeth
Very interesting! MaryBeth, would you know why the one Waterford pattern is known by TWO distinct names?

My grandmother had the blue Danube, my aunt has it and when I see it while thrifing i pick it up for her.
A classic beauty!
I don’t have Blue Danube but I have quite an extensive collection of
Meissen Blue Onion, thanks for the history of the pattern.

I have a few pieces of jade ite in my beginner collection. We have located them in Round Top Tx during their semi-annual antique show from one specific vendor inside Cole's Antiques. We have two mugs, four "Alice" c/s sets, and a juice reamer w measuring cup. We recently saw some dinner plates at the Alamo Antiques Mall in downtown San Antonio this weekend, but left them behind-- having regrets about that today.

Good eye to spot those treasures! The glass show vendors use pet pads to pack glass for transport. Will share in a future segment.
I have blue Danube as my china set .
Love your classic pattern! 💙
That’s so cool!!
Wow, had no idea these shops are out there. Thanks for showing me a new way to shop!
You are so welcome!
You have Martha Stewart’s voice.👍🏼
So relaxing ❤
That green Fenton pitcher: MAGNIFICENT! Great video!
I used to see blue willow everywhere here, now that I want some it is scarce. I will keep shopping, I refuse to pay retail! There is one company in Vermont still selling new blue willow.
In Texas shops, I see Blue Willow everywhere.
Beautiful thanks for sharing stay safe and have a blessed day. 👍
Have a great week, Belinda! We are expecting a hard freeze in Texas. 🥶
I live 35 minutes away from Oneida NY, where they made the silverware, and an hour from Syracuse for Syracuse China!
Best address! You probably find wonderful estate sale and thrifted treasures.
Glad to find your channel. This past week I found a 6” master cutter Waterford bowl at a my favorite thrift store for 12$. I have found a Waterford pitcher for 20$ and a 10” Waterford footed bowl for 10$ in North Carolina.
You are on a roll! Enjoy your fabulous Waterford finds!
Very nice. Enjoyed that so much.We also had red ruby glasses that were my grandmother's and disappeared. 👍💕
You have the sweet memory of those ruby glasses. ❤️
I wonder where they arenow? Texas? 😉👍💕
It's funny how you lower your voice when you encounter the Waterford biscuit barrel. What a find!
I did not want to draw attention to this hidden gem. 😂
I need a road trip to Texas ❤
Texas welcomes you!
Come on down, friend!
You may want to consider carrying a black light flashlight. Several of the green pieces that you highlighted may glow under the black light.
Good idea! A viewer in Florida purchased the Fenton pitcher. She said it glows and is Uranium glass.
I am curious about the reason for the star cut patterns found on the base of stemware or glass and crystal bowls.
Same!!
I see much uranium glass. Should/can one eat from this or is it decorative only?
Uranium glass is perfectly safe for drinking or serving. However, would not recommend for food or drink storage.
Thank you.@@LadyMaryBeth
Would you ever consider how you store your collections?
I store collections and holiday items here, there, and everywhere. Have shared some storage at our home in Germany.

Hi.
Why not have a flower arrangement connected to the electric for a tv lamp . Lolol
That wasn't a mug rack, it was a bottle dryer......
😅
Please don't confuse "Pottery" with ceramics.....if it's not a "Pot", it's ceramic.....
