After a summer of no yard sales (by choice), I’ve certainly been making up for it in the last few weeks. Church sales, estate sales, you name it. Last Saturday I went to an estate sale with no expectations. Now it’s funny what happens when you have no expectations……my SUV was packed to the rafters! (I even sent my husband back the next day to pick up a new washing machine!)
I’m gradually organizing, fixing, painting and taking pictures of my new finds. With the holidays coming I was on the look-out for Shiny Brites but no such luck. The only holiday related item I found was this….
A carnival-glass Egg Nog set. I thought it was pretty cool and I’ve never seen one before.

In excellent condition….until I got it home and broke one of the cups! Someone else did the same thing before me as it now has 10 cups instead of the 12 that it started with!
I've haven't joined in a while but have missed participating in
Suzanne's Vintage Thingy Thursday so am linking up this week. It's always fun to see what others have.
Very nice set. I love the rich color. At least you still have 10 cups!

10 cups is better than no cups!!!
ReplyDeleteit is lovely! I love carnaval glass :)
That punch set is a really great find Maureen, and I love how the bowl is even pretty on the bottom! Whoever buys it can have a nice intimate little holiday party, inviting no more than 9 guests!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous is that set! And 10 cups is a nice even number.
ReplyDeleteTens an even number at least. I like the coloring of that set. Great find.
ReplyDeleteYour egg nog set is very pretty!...Christine

ReplyDeleteYou were lucky finding this carnival glass set. It is not easy to find and most times pricey.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful set; I saw an egg nog set once awhile back at an antique store, but it was not beautiful carnival glass like yours! Great find!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I like the words on the side and flower on the bottom.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set. The only ones you can find in our area are the white tom and jerry ones. Yours is very elegant. Thanks for sharing. ~~Sherry~~
ReplyDeleteYou were so lucky to find this beautiful set, 10 cups sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting with me. I love all your projects and yard sale adventures, so I'm your newest follower.
Ooh, it's so pretty! Sorry you broke one, but 10 is still a good, even number. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky indeed!! Peach luster pieces are so popular right now. Your eggnog set is a beauty :)
