This first one is the Pixie Ware jelly jar from 1958,I got him for $6.95.The top part I had found at the flea market for $3.00 and searched for the base for Ebay ,which I found cheaply since it was missing the spoon(it's ok I got it,I got it!) for $3.95:
This sugar & cream set is also from 1958.I saw these on Ebay going for 40 something bucks just for one so that made me giggle since I got the set and was like "wow I spent $15.00 for these"... I'm too cheap sometimes I think but hey my husband can't complain about that,or can he?He actually did today about the way I list things.For example I listed a pair of carved bakelite earrings for $9.99,there was another pair on there just like mine but in green listed for $75.00 *shrugs* I like other people to feel like they're getting a good deal too what can I say. I'm a bad business woman that way I suppose.... but anyone back to My Holt Howard pieces:
In other news Ollie's ears are starting to come up!I cant wait for him to have big perky bat ears!He needs the extra cuteness from stopping me from killing him sometimes too!Ha ha!Not really I would never lay a finger on him but oh he made me so made this week.My darling daughter was admiring some vintage pins I had and dropped one on the floor,before I could rescue it Ollie swung by and ran off with it breaking off the pin...oh well I can use it somehow I'm sure.However this was not once but twice this same scenario played out this week!My second pin he did this to was not a sturdy rhinestone and metal pin but a plastic one,it faired much worse.Note to self don't allow Heidi to play with my vintage pins with dog in the room.You're lucky you're cute Ollie,ever so lucky *shakes fist at him*
