Glass Fishing Float

Dad had one of these, I guess he picked it up at a beach somewhere. It was green just like this too. Mom kept it in a bottom cupboard of the china cabinet.

Red "Thumbprint" Cake Stand

Mom had thumbprint dishes and a few serving pieces like this cake stand. It was mostly used at Christmas but I am sure a few birthday cakes were served on it as well.

Chip & Dip Set

We had a chip and dip set like this but I don't think it was green. It was probably harvest gold or clear. I really liked it and we used it a lot.

Red Dishes

Mom had a set of red dishes like this (and a punchbowl & matching cake stand) with a thumbprint design. They were used on Sundays and holidays.

Drinking Glasses

We had drinking glasses like the one on the right....with hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds on them. I think they were sold with mustard in them and after the mustard was gone you had a glass. We had several of them.

Teapot

Every meal Mom would make a pot of tea in a teapot like this. I remember her telling me it was actually a coffee perculator but she had removed the middle section and just used it for steeping tea. It was always on the stove.

Flower of the Month Glasses

One year for Christmas we all got glasses like these with the flower of our birth month on them. Mine isn't here, I was born in February. Mom kept them in the china cabinet and I think we used them at Christmas and New Year's dinner.

The Un-Candle

I think Mom got these for Christmas one year. We were impressed by them, floating candles on water! It didn't take much to impress us in the 70's.

Lightbulb Salt & Pepper

Another salt and pepper set that mom had. These were never used but they were among the coolest set she had (in my opinion anyway).

Snoopy Bank

My sister and I each had a Snoopy bank like this. It didn't have an opening in the bottom, though, and mine broke as I was trying to shake coins out of it.

Blue Mountain Pottery

This swan sat on our living room table. It was kinda cute!
