AND SO IT BEGINS

As I mentioned here, I was itching to start collecting something.  
Once I settled on the "something" I wanted to collect, the hunt began. 

Here are my first three finds.


The small emerald green vase in the front was found at a thrift store. 
I bought the two taller ones in the back at a local outdoor antique show.


Until I have enough to at least sparingly fill this antique cabinet, they will reside on top.


I do have a few requirements for my new collection.

-  Must be a green or green blue color
-  Must be interesting to me
- Must be reasonably priced (under $50)

Again, here is my inspiration....



Here are a few I found on ebay that I would love to add to the collection.
However, the hunt is the most fun for me.  
So clicking "Buy it Now" on ebay doesn't quite do it for me.
While I am generally a very impatient person, 
I am committed to taking my sweet little time amassing this collection.

  5. Soon, you'll be finding green pieces everywhere you look! It's amazing what starting a collection can do - before you now it, you'll be calling hoarders!

  6. I agree that buying on ebay or anywhere online takes the fun of the hunt out for stuff like this. Some things I will buy online but some things I just want to find when I'm out and about sometime!!
