Does anyone remember Mary Gregory art glass? Many pieces were either in cobalt blue or ruby (sometimes green or pale purple) and had images of children in white on them. My family's business carried it, and now I wish I had saved a vase, dish, or bell.

@Susan Louise That's quite a collection and I see many familiar pieces.  I can see why you like looking at them.  

I don't have anything like that to display any of my collections and we needed to downsize our storage capacity, so that's why I sold them.  I still have a few other collections that I'm deciding what to do with.

 If anyone thinks capodimonte is junk, go on eBay and try to buy some.

It is Capodimonte not Capidamonte.  I don't know whether QVC sold genuine Capodimonte,  But I purchased a couple lovely pieces in Italy.

I worked for the company that made Beverly Hills Gold for about a minute.  Interesting place.  Everybody went by first names, even the company directory, because the last names were so long and hard to spell.

I was never much into collectibles, but I bought a ton of scrapbook supplies from Creative Keepsakes shows on QVC and the Anna Griffin shows on HSN.  

I also bought costume jewelry from Joan Rivers and Kathy Levin.  I loved those two together.  They made me laugh during some really tough times.

I had no idea that QVC sold Vermont Bears. I have a Vermont Bear that my hubby gave me in 2010.

@Desert Lily   My mother had a couple of pieces of Mary Gregory glass.

@Snowpuppy   Yes, QVC did sell Fenton Art Glass. I have several vases and a few other pieces that I bought.

 I use the vases for fresh flowers.

@Tori3569   I also bought some Boyd's Bears. Some were gifts for grandchildren, when they were little.

@Susan Louise   You do have quite an impressive collection.

So beautiful. I see a few colors in your collection, that I have

purchased.

 In your first picture is a teal color bowl that looks to have white hand painted flowers. I bought a teal Fenton vase with a similar design. I have some vases and fairy lamps.

Fenton's baskets were so pretty. The colors of all their creations really are eye candy. I have some pieces packed away that I intend to give to my children.

I probably would have bought more Fenton pieces, but I had no place to display them.

From years of antique collecting, I already had a china cabinet full of cobalt blue glass pieces. I see in your collection that you also like cobalt blue.

Fenton was just one of my collections, there is Belleek, dolls,

teddy bears, Japanese Satsuma pottery , Egyptian collections

and way too much jewelry, handbags and shoes, Fiesta , vintage and new and sets of China.   I love my stuff.

  Too much stuff!
