Old Photos, Fire King and Orange and White Glass Vases
A look into the past. This photo comes from the family pictures but the year it was taken is not known. The family believes the view to be Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a place I spent many happy days, waiting for ferries to go to our cabin on the Sunshine Coast (which sadly is now long gone).
I have always loved glass items but I haven't always loved the color orange though in the past year that has been changing since I moved into the house I now live. The orange, brown, and white vase came with it and I really liked it to my surprise. I think early 70's when I look at it. Then I found the orange and white vase and knew right away I had to have it. Most people who know me found this surprising. The vase on the left was found at the local flea market and caught my eye and it to came home with me.
These stacking Rainbow Fire King mugs were just added to my collection on Sunday. I didn't find them, my boyfriend who went off to the flea markets without me found them and bought them for me and they have added some more color to my collection.
I love secondhand stores and have recently been finding the white Fire King mugs and bowls. These remind me of my Grandmother as she always had the white mugs and that takes my thoughts back to my childhood.
