More Fire King.....

Although this may be confusing, I recieved this Platter from my Step Mother in Law. She is also an avid Op Shopper and is on the look out for any Fire King for me...

This is not very clear but its Fire King, Made in USA Anchor Hocking....

The Platter has little feet on the bottom of it......

It is Milk Glass with a gold edge.. I have tried to find out more about it but it isn't in my Fire King book and I had no luck on the internet. I have decided it is a 'Fish Platter'... It is another great addition to my collection.

I have finally organised my Market Stall at The Mill Market at the Ballarat Wool Shed. I hope to load some photos monday night. So at Chez Essess all systems are go!

Ready to Run....

I've had alot of spare time on my hands, not being able to work just over three months. But I have been busy getting all my Retro/Vintage Furniture and Collectibles ready for sale. Everything must be washed, priced, tagged, recorded and packed ready for the Market..
I have wanted to start my own stall at The Mill Markets for such a long time! Now I'm ready to go! I will have my own stall at The Mill Market at the Ballarat Woolshed, Western Hwy, Ballarat..

I have a large collection of Corningware. Coffee Pots, Tea Pots, Casserole Dishes...

Also alot of quirky serving dishes, Platters, Chip and Dip Plates. All Japanese Design and made in Japan..

Retro Coloured Wine Glasses and Vintage Sherry Glasses to name a few...

I also have alot of Retro/Vintage Furniture. A Retro Bar, Vintage Kitchen Cabinets, Retro Buffets etc........

Iam pleased everything is coming into place. I have a passion and an eye for collecting so I will be holding stall at The Mill Market and keeping my day job!!

Fire King (Love it...)

This is my Favourite Cabinet in my front Loungeroom, filled with my Fire King (Anchor Hocking U.S.A.) collection thus far!! Mostly Peach Lustre and some Milk glass... Four Clear glass Fire King jugs...

This is by far my favourite item to collect, and hopefully 2010 will be great for finding more pieces...

I recieved this book for Xmas from Mr S's Aunt. It is a great read and hopefully I will be able to find some Jadeite pieces..?

I have been busy this year and haven't blogged as much as I would like... But New Year brings new possibilities so fingers crossed I will be more organised!

I have been busy collecting all sorts of pieces from the 50s 60s and 70s, planning on having a stall at the Mill Market at the Ballarat Woolshed. Its full of antiques and collectibles.....

Mr S even bought me a van for transporting the retro furniture I have to the market.

When I am set up I will be able to tell you more... But this is my priority for 2010.... Heres hoping it all works out...

Happy New Year to everyone!!!!
