Whatcha Buyin??

[Starbreeze]

Okay, I’m having one of those little red ‘x’ moments…I can’t see your pic. What did you buy? 😕

[Maria]

Oh, sorry. It’s a bowl of Fenton glass, with the Carnival glass coloring. It’s got wavy edges and a grape deisgn at the bottom. Here’s the link on the store’s website:

Very pretty and elegant!!! Thanks! 😉

OooOOoo! Nice purchase GB. I love carnival glass! It’s a shame they don’t photograph better, but they are stunning in person. Anyway, congrats! 😀 Any reason you chose that piece? I’m just curious…

[Maria]

It just called to me, like certain Windstones do…
I think I loved the bright colors, the flowing edges, and the grape theme. The chinaware that Mom’s been buying me for my own home in the future has a grape theme.
And here’s a better pic that I took in this morning’s sun:

Wow!!!! It’s much prettier even in this pic!!!! 😯

Thanks! Yesterday in Galveston I spent again – just a little. Here’s a shell with the Lord’s Prayer on it:

and an alligator head. I think it’s a gator. Or is it a croc? Anatomical drawing reference, either way.

Kind of hard to tell if it’s a crocodile or an alligator. I did a seach on how to tell the difference and found this Web siteAlligators and Crocodiles: What’s the Difference?. Maybe it will help you.

Looks like a gator to me. A croc has a more pointed snout. We have lots of gators around here. 😉

[Maria]

Thank you, Pegasi. That did help. I believe it’s a gator. It has grooves in its gums for the lower teeth.

Oh that plate looks like dichroic glass!

Galveston is okay, but I found it to be kinda dirty and smelly. The Pasadena TX chemical plants pollute it (or at least, used to). If you get a chance while you’re down there, the drive to Padre Island is a bit long but worth it if you like nice beaches. 🙂

You are buying some neat stuff, GB. You’re going to have to buy an extra suitcase! 😆 Great pic of the carnival bowl, too.

Galveston was a little smelly, but I still enjoyed it. Aside from having too many Mexicans around. And I was disgusted to see that even some of the advertising is in Spanish.
I’ll run Padre Island by Wolfen’s family. On Monday we’re going to Corpus Christi.

If you’re going to Corpus, you gotta go to padre island! You’ll be practically on top of it. 🙂

It’s usually a much more natural beach than Galveston, and the times we went there was no one else around, very peaceful.

Oh! Thanks for the information. We’ll definitely do that. 😀
