Czech Pressed Glass

I love Czech pressed glass and I know I am not alone. I am totally aware that Bohemian glass manufactured in former Czechoslovakia is an obsession of vintage lovers and collectors all over the world and I love that because I am not a real collector. See, I could never afford to build a great collection and was never lucky enough to find good bargains around. When I had the chance to buy a Czech vase, there were so many and I never knew which one to choose. On the end, one of my favorite forms of entertainment is see other people's collections of Czech glass. I really enjoy it and I find it really relaxing. I do have some vases my self, three or four... wish I had more, but it is all good. These ones here are for sale at our Etsy store. Enjoy.

Royal Holland Pewter Coffee Pot

Sometimes I fall in love with some of the pieces we sell in our store. This Dutch pewter coffee pot is my most recent love story. I fear the day I will have to let it go. To avoid broken heart, I tend to set the price of my favorite items a little bit higher than the market, trying to avoid the inevitable sale. This is my way of avoiding saying good bye... but this tactic doesn't really work.
