At long last vacation time for me, but I can't leave those antique malls alone! :O)
It's been ages since I've been on the blog...I know I'm just terrible! I was at the point of computer overload! LOL All work and very little 'play' made me a very grumpy gal!
My hubby and I are in Houston, Tx., staying three nights at the Hyatt Place Hotel; tonight's our last night. :O( I'm using the hotel PC to blog.

'Going Green' With Estate Sales...
I'm finding myself wanting to expand on comments I'm leaving on friends' blogs today!
I find that there are more people attending estate sales, and the line ups are horrendous!!! More people are watching their money, so it isn't just antique 'pickers' like myself who are attending. More people are furnishing their homes with vintage.
Due to the economy, I think more people are 'going green' without realizing it. For example, I've seen a young couple looking for furniture for their apartment, and… Continue

My Handmade Vintage Jewelled Photo Frames ~ Beautiful & Sparkling! They Can Be Yours To Treasure!
Recently, I have been getting back to my 'crafty' side! I have started creating my Vintage Jewelled Photo Frames. These first two vintage wooden frames came from a local estate sale. I found them during one of my treasure hunts! One of them has a photo of a very young Robert Taylor, who was a prevalent leading man in the motion picture industry. The photo of him in the one frame, appears to be from the late 1930's to 1940's.
The other picture frame was empty, so I printed the image of a vintage… Continue

- Hi Diane, I re-consulted "The World of Wooden Bobbins" book and your spool most closely resembles what they call a "roving bobbin" . Roving is a term for carded wool which has been drawn into strands, but not yet twisted into yarn. Not having a background in industrial weaving, I do not know if roving refers to bobbin movement or strands of wool, but I suspect the latter. There are other types of worsted spools that look similar, so I am not at all sure it is a roving bobbin. But the book does indicate that "metal ends were fitted to bobbins to protect the wood and to protect the yarn from snagging." It goes on to say that brass and copper was used during mid-19th century. Later, steel was used with tinning or galvanizing to minimize rust. Apparently the brass/copper-ended bobbins are the most desireable. The book is rather general, covering many types of bobbins and shuttles. I do not know if there are any more definative books on the subject. Best of Luck to you, Karen

- Hi Diane, I pulled out my book "The World of Wooden Bobbins". Looking through it I determined it probably is a bobbin for worsted wool, but that I need more information/pictures from you in order to see if I can tell you anything more about it. I need to see both ends (unless they are exactly alike) and I need to know the height and diameter, and to know if there are any metal parts or any marks or differences in the center shaft. Regards, Karen

- Thanks for the warm welcome Diane. Yes, I am a member of the VTL club. My heart beats fast every time I open the sellers page and find a new tablecloth or towel report...truly a sickness! I sometimes get lost in cyberspace trying to navigate through blogs and web pages but have made a committment to try to get back to working my way through them. I have just restarted my blog and reopened my etsy shop. Hopefully I can keep it all going along with my ebay. Thanks again and I look forward to hanging out w/fellow linen lovers!

- Thanks for the comments on my pics. Re: the WWII pics, I am working on a booklet on Collectibles of the WWI and WWII Workbasket Campaigns. I hope to complete it by the latter part of next year. I will post a blog on iantiqueonline.com containing a greatly abridged version of the book, prior to publishing the book. Regards, Karen

- Hi there!! There is wood flooring under the flooring. I havent lifted it up yet to see the condition but if its as good in the closet as it is in the bedroom I'm reallyyyyy excited!!! I just love my old house!

Scott said… - It depends how the condition is. If they are undamaged maybe 30.00 each?
Ebay may not get that much because there is so much available on there and the market for middle of the road type shakers is somewhat flat but who knows.

- Hi,
Nice to hear from you! Your shakers are made by Consolidated Lamp & Glass late 1800s. The pattern is called"Fish" in a pink cased glass. Nice examples!
