Help identifying some platters, please.
Comments (10)Yes, the bases are completely glazed. There was a 3rd platter that I bought too, has the same mark on the back. After researching this platter, I've discovered it came from the Grand Union grocery store chain. It was a promotion that they had going on during the Bicentennial in 1976. I believe this is called "Liberty Blue" and it's by Staforrdshire. Some had another mark along w/the lion mark, but when the contract ran out w/the original maker, it was made by other manufacturers. Near as I can figure anyway....See Morewhat is your best find
Comments (67)Two months ago I went to a thrift shop. I noticed a white fur jacket which I thought was rabbit. I dont know my furs. I tried it on and it fit which is surprising because I am a big girl. The lady said it looks nice on you. At the same time she was putting another fur coat on the rack - long brown. I asked how much for the jacket and she said $5 so I said what about the coat. She said $5. I took both of them. I tried the long one on when I got home. It fit even better. I took them to a local furrier. The long coat had originally come from there. They examined them and told me the jacket is tourmaline mink paw worth $1000 today. The long brown one is pastel mink worth $5000 today. The coat was in perfect condition. The jacket had a small tear at the pocket. They repaired that, cleaned them both, insured them for a year and will store them for me when I finish wearing them - all for $346. I am thrilled. I have never had a fur coat before and even if they aren't the rage anymore I wear both of mine all the time. I am in Canada and it was cold enough last night to wear the jacket out to dinner....See MoreServing Platters In Kitchen
Comments (18)Bumblebeez, I read through the whole thread and never noticed it was old until I got to your last entry. I wasn't a member back in '06, so the subject/thread was new to me. Personally I'm glad you brought it back as it was an interesting read, to me at least. I've never really understood the rule on this forum and others about never bringing up an old thread. It's not old to everyone and if you read it already, just ignore it. Sometimes there's new info that should be shared. But I will try not to bring up an old one lest I get in trouble....See MoreIs this the best way to hang decorative plates?
Comments (23)msrose....I was in Michaels today and I looked at their plate hangers. They have plastic tips! Hopefully there's a Michaels near you. I don't know what I'd do without that store,lol. my3dogs...accessorizing is the hardest thing for me to do. I really think some people have that gift and some don't. You definetely have it. I often wonder how many great things I've passed up in stores because I didn't see their potential. I bought a small half-circle table for an empty spot in my dining room a few years ago. No purpose really other than decorative. I thought, how fun it will be to decorate it. Yeah right, it's become the bane of my existance. lol Nothing i have looks good on it and I'm clueless what to buy. Last year I went on a tour of homes and one of the houses was decorated exactly how I wish mine could be. Luck have it, the homeowner has decided to become a decorator because of all the complements she receives. It comes easy to her so why not. Have you considered it? I plan on calling her next year and let her help me with the finishing touches. It's weird, I have no problem buying the big stuff like furniture but I come to a screeching halt when it's time to dress it all up....See Moreluckygal
