    Don't worry. No offense taken. I did look them up and they SELL online for between 5 and 7 dollars a pack. So I expect I can sell them as a lot for $30. But heck....anything over $5 is a win!

    Well done!
    The turquoise blue interior is Fenton's "Silver Jamestown" 1957-1960, You have ruby snowcrest, 1950-1954, Your blue bon-bon from the 20's, wow, great color!

    Here is what I came up with today. Small additions....but I'm Happy.
    The 2 Imperial Carmel slag glass cups were $3. The delft pieces were 25 cents ea. The boxed Halo action figure was $5. (but I've done well with boxed action figures). 2 Johnson Brothers 12" platters (stoneware) for 25 cents ea.
    Some more Fenton opalescent hobnail pieces $2. I have the other candle holder and I will group a bunch of fenton opalescent hobnail together in 1 auction. And the Staybucks cup was a freebie. So all in all not a bad day.

    I really like this little mug. It is bright rainbow glass. It's not fired on, it's actual colored glass. After researching it....it is actually supposed to represent a stack of books. They are still available at big box stores. I had never seen one and it attracted me right away. It's beautiful. I paid 50 cents for it.

    Starbucks items are both good quality and collectible. Nice grabs!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I like Johnson Brothers pieces. Inexpensive, and they are nice for daily meals. Wish I had a whole set!

    My two favorite coffee mugs are Starbucks I grabbed at a tag sale. They come out of the dishwasher looking like new every time. I can't even coax them to get coffee stains on the inside. Real tanks.

    A lot of my daily drivers are Starbuck's mugs, bought in thrift stores when they still sold them locally.

    Here is what I found at the few garage sales I ran across today. Another Fenton piece $7....an Italian oil bottle (beautiful) and a Flow blue plate $7.
    I should find some new sales tomorrow!

    You're right, that oil bottle is beautiful! You're doing quite well at the garage sales this year.
