RANDOM HOARD POST
gonna start slow. now that i plan on starting this 'series'. eons ago. i went into this little antique shop i would always pass on my way to art school. or work. can't remember which. i got a floor lamp i regret getting, but also a dark violet glass ball. no idea what is was til recently. old fashion net floats. then i found a gold one at an estate sale. and then i found a broken glass acorn, and then a blue one and then i found another amber one. lastly, when i knew what they were, i found this BIG hallmarked german one at an artist's house. that was a neat sale. i think i did pretty good considering i am not on a coast. i suppose they were used on lake mich as well. i did miss out on a couple at the artist's sale. but ok as i got something even neater.

I believe the biggest ball is probably a float of some sort but the rest are actually antique drink covers. They were hand blown and came in different colors, shapes and sizes and they were placed on top of a drinking glass or cup to keep out the flies and bugs. I'm not sure where or when they originated but they are quite difficult to find. Your collection is beautiful by the way.
