Crazy Hair Days

My dad and I used to collect Coca-Cola memorabilia, that is when I got these ad's.  These are from the back of old National Geographic Magazines.  The ad with the woman hooked up to the old perm machine makes me think of having a bad hair day.  The one with the two women under hairdryers says getting ready for Friday night.

Paperweights

The outer glass on these two paperweights are colored, one blue and the other one amber these are the only two I have like this.  These are both secondhand store finds.  The blue one reminds me of a seascape and the amber one reminds me of fall.

Almost A Missed Fire King Find

These Fire King mixing bowls were almost a missed find as I almost skipped the row they were  at the flea market.  I decided to do the row after all, good thing I did since these bowls were what I found.

I don't know what this pattern is called, if anyone does please let me know?

Only Find Of The Day
This green Fire King bowl is a cereal size bowl.  On the day I found it, it was my only find of the day.

Blue Mountain Pottery

A Short History
Blue Mountain Pottery started in 1947 and was Canada's largest manufacturer of quality giftware.  It was located in Collingwood, Ontario.  The rich red clay used, the way it was moulded and the glazing technique call "Reflowing Decorating" is what made it unique.  The pottery came in many colors.
Sadly their doors closed in 2004.

My Memories Of Blue Mountain
Blue Mountain Pottery is something my grandmother had a collection of, I remember seeing at her house.  The blue color was always my favorite.
In the 1970's my family went on vacation to Barkerville a historic town in British Columbia and in the saloon my root beer came in a mug that looked like it could be Blue Mountain.

Celtic Brooch

I like Celtic Jewerly but have a hard time finding pieces (trying to convince someone to go to Ireland or Scotland) so I was quite happy to find this brooch at an antique fair.  It was made in Scotland the stones are either purple glass or amethyst I haven't found out since I don't care I like it either way.

I didn't buy it but I did unwraped it on Christmas Eve. It was a surprise and a wonderful gift from my boyfriend.

Vintage Chip & Dip Bowls

I believe all these chip and dip bowls are from the 1960's though the one that is an orangey peachy color that looks like paint that was splatter on it I'm not sure of the date.

I've always liked these chip and dip bowls I can remember family parties and my aunts having them out with chips and dip in them.
