stock up the shop: beginning to feel a lot like a vintage holiday party

Lots of retro holiday goodness this week! It really gets me in the mood to decorate for our Christmas...or maybe next week. ;)

Instead of the group shot, I'm trying out the individual shots of some of my favorite finds:

Inland Glass Snowflake Casserole with Lid and Warming Stand.
I was so happy to find this complete set. It's super adorable and I can just picture it
filled with some warm unhealthy dip of some sort at holiday party.

Pyrex "Mod Kitchen" Decorator Casserole
I haven't been buying much Pyrex lately, but this one is soooo cool!

1983 Alan Wood for Houze Christmas Mugs
Set of 3

Waechtersbach style Glasses
Coordinate with the popular West German Waechtersbach pottery pieces.

West German Glass Angel Candle Holders
I love these...so thick and sturdy and pretty. Like blocks of ice. 

All of these items, and more, are listed or will soon be listed in the creekhouse shop. Having fun listing lots of new things and gearing up for holiday cheer.
Life gets pretty serious, with busy-ness, worries and serious stuff popping up here and there, so I'm grateful for the holidays approaching to keep us focused on family, friends, and the good things in life!

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!
