Plentiful Pile of Plunder

Jan 29, 2008 12 Replies

I won Becki's collection of lampwork for a ridiculously low price! It's like I paid less than half price for 2 vessels by Carolyn Driver (Blue Heeler Glass) and a sweet set by Heather Davis (Blissful Gardens), and got a whole pile for free. By Cindy Palmer, Gem Fox, Melissa Perry, flamingos by Ginger, a pair by Paula Radke (if I'm not mistaken), a Karen Sherwood, and many others. Also a ceramic pair, vintage cut glass, some sweet hearts with appliquéd flowers, an amethyst crystal, leaded crystal. And some really cool beads that look like a faceted circle cut off a sphere with a hole across the back in vitrail.



This is amazingly cool!



Thanks Becki!!

Oh no, sweetheart. Thank YOU and others who helped me pay my rent that week!!! That was exactly what I needed, when I needed it. And I'm back to buying with a vengence.

Becki

Geez! What a super grab-bag of cool beads! Now we have to see what you make with it all - post photos, plz!

The foil backed dark green emerald shaped "gem" reminds me of moldavite, and the carved pierced blue flower are cool. What are those neat little faceted coin like shaped green things called? Are they Swarovski?

It's so fun to have things I wouldn't normally choose. It expands my horizons.

I want so much to meet you when I get to Calif next month!

Here are the pictures, sweetie. I believe you are talking about the vintage Swarovski, the ones I call "pringles" because of their shape. The color is heliotrope.

Pringles! Yes, those are the ones. They're so cool.

You reckon I could buy the pink flamingoes from you? My boss is a flamingo freak and I was bidding on the lot mostly to get those... somehow I got off track and forgot to keep bidding, my loss for sure!

Sounds like a good time to revive the BFNR.
