stock up the shop: holiday lovliness

Went to five different spots yesterday and walked out of several empty-handed. Determined to stock up  as much as possible before "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday" and all of that jazz... So grateful for a week off of school to do this before the relatives come!

Speaking of which, here I am exposing the elementary teacher side of myself...this is a hilarious children's book that is a good gift for young and old: The Relatives Came, by Cynthia Rylant. If any of you have family get-togethers where people end up sleeping all over the house, listening to each other snoring and such, and enjoying the crowded-ness of such gatherings, you might get a chuckle from this book. Makes me laugh every time and I enjoy reading it around the holidays.

On to the haul:

- Waeschtersbach Mugs (Four of them, great condition...gifting for Xmas, and crossing fingers that she doesn't read my blog...)
- Crazy Cool Smoky Glasses (see photo below)
- Milk Glass Bowl (Looking for help with this one, have a look below)
- Swedish Santa
- Wilton First Birthday Cake Topper (Actually still in original package, carefully un-did for photo. That is one cute 1-year old.)
- Vintage Marshall Field's Advent Calendar (My favorite find of the day...mostly because I still weep for Marshall Field's...see more ranting below...but also because it's West German, still in original unopened package, and so very pretty.)
- Hazel Atlas Wheat Sheaf Cups
- Eva Zeisel "Prestige" Glasses (Keeping! Closer look below.)
- Two Vintage Camera Straps
- Kolf Austria Table Linens

How fun are these? Six of them in excellent condition. Don't know the maker of these.

This milk glass bowl is so beautiful with its bluish tinge and swirls. Anyone have an ID for this?

Couldn't pass this guy up and can't decide if I should keep or sell.

Sniff, sniff. Anyone else miss Marshall Field's? I'm originally from Madison, Wisconsin
and any time I go home my mom and I still talk about it.
We also miss Dayton's...lived in Minneapolis for 10 years for college and beyond.
Damn you Macy's!!

Eva Zeisel "Prestige" line for Federal Glass, 1954. Keeping these to start my own collection,
but you can start your own here at Steve's great Etsy Shop.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm thankful for all of you who stop by now and then, and thankful for all the help I've gotten from online friends!
