Just Cleaned out Kate's Closet!

I just finished organizing my grand daughters clots for school. She's five going on 6 and going to kindergarten! After sorting out all the torn and worn items, I've bundled up a nice lot of mostly size 5 girls clothes that would be perfect to fill out a little girls wardrobe. Twenty six pieces for the price of probably 2 or three outfits new! They are in Mimis Loft right now! 

Look at these! Bryce Higbee Indian Tree Sprig Goblets!

If these glasses could talk! The stories they might tell. From the late 19th century. Did they adorn the china cabinet of a new bride at the turn of the century? Only taken out to have that once in a while glass of wine to celebrate the holidays ? Cleaned out of the cabinet after Grandma passed and given to relatives? Did they end up in the basement in a box or used by the kids in the 60's at the children's table? ( in my own childhood we kids got my grandmothers red ruby glasses to drink from) . These sturdy treasures from yesterday are now in Mimis Loft ready to add to someone's collection. Yours?

Christina porcelain Bavarian Blue....lovely for everyday!

Just arrived in Mimis Loft! Pieces of Christina Porcelain Bavarian Blue! This porcelain is hard, lightweight and durable yet so lovely and delicate in appearance! This stuff would look great displayed in a hutch or china cabinet but should be used for everyday because it is so durable and light. You know how heavy some of this new stoneware is to pick up out of the cabinet to set the table? Not this stuff. It's as light as Corelle but oh so lovely. It's in the eBay store right now!

American Bisque Figural Head Vase

If you love head vases, I have an unusual one for you. Is American made pottery, circa 1940. She's heavy like pottery, unlike the fragile Japanese made varieties from the same era. I love to collect the American bisque figurals. I have several of them on shelves in my home. Lots of girls in various pale vintage pinks and blues and yellows as well as beige. This is a fun category to collect because there were many made, they were durable and lasted forever and they can be found at shops and flea markets everywhere at great prices. They can be collected in groups by size or color. Let's here it for American Bisque!

This one is available in my eBay store
