Vintage Declutting
I think it needs to be vintage thingies decluttering Thursday....
And by the way, when did I accumulate things I never used? Can you tell me that? And how unfair is it that I have to sell things I adore because I have no room?
I really, really hate that.

I got three big ones and three small. I since found out they are by Federal Glass, the amoeba pattern. I'm keeping the big ones because I am using them
And these...

I guess these were standard issue souvenir Florida glasses from the 50's and I loved them instantly. I never used them. Not once. I have this weird thing about frosted glass. I hate the way it feels and don't ever use glasses that are frosted. I thought I could get past it because I loved these glasses so much but I can't. I hung on to these for quite some time but than I got this last week....

and their big sisters...

And I need the space so I'm listing the Flamingo glasses today on eBay....
And it's kind of sad that I have to let stuff go....
But I guess maybe it's kind of not if
someone else gets stuff they want.
Sigh.
Hope I can get over the sad part though.

I went to an estate sale a while back at an incredible house. Like some sort of kitchy time capsule. And I would have bought the kitchen table if I could have. All gray Formica marblized on top and all burnt orange sparklish chairs and I know that sounds weird but it so worked. And it was cluttered the way those kinds of houses usually are. And some creepy guy beat me to a garbage can filled with buttons and looked smug about it, besides.
But I enjoyed just the experience of being there and found these...

Oh my those glasses! I love the frosted ones, they are so tackily beautiful!
I know, I feel the same way. Totally but I have this aversion to frosted glasses. Seriously...you know some people, most people, cant stand the nails on a blackboard thing? I have the same aversion to frosted glassware. Plates too, matte plates. sigh.
I love those glasses! They are great to look at, but I don't think I would use them either.
Oh wonderful kitchy Florida souvenir glasses-that they're frosted just adds to their wonderfulness!
I too have gotten rid of things over the years and the many moves we've made...thing is now I can't always remember what's really gone and what's just packed away!
The amoeba glasses are awesome. Like you with the frosting thing (which I kind of agree with) I have an aversion to tapered glasses. Silly but true.
What a shame you didn't get the buttons, but what you got was wonderful. I love it all.
Oh-h the ameoba glasses are just a great design. Also, they should work well with the plates you found.
Happy holidays!
Wish I could see pictures of that kitchen. Sounds awesome! I loooove those blue glasses, and I'm betting those Florida glasses will bring you a pretty penny. And those plates. I can't remember the pattern, but I looove those plates too!
Merry Christmas and Happy VTT!

Love the Florida glasses. I had some similar ones here in AZ only they featured cactus.
Cheers to you,

Great glasses, but I can not give things away...or sell them...that is why my small house is busting at the seams!! Have a great VTT!
I love that frosted glasses...they are awesome to keep.

Merry Christmas
