Fenton American Art Glass Collection

I bought some Fenton art glass for my kitchen display cabinet during my kitchen remodeling project. These glass items are also known as carnival glass as they are specially pressed glass that creates an iridescent surface effect. They are very affordable so you can actually buy some to fill your cabinet without burning a hole in your pocket. Most importantly is that they look as exquisite as any expensive branded glass in the market. Fenton makes many glass items such as bowls, cups, tumblers, vases and glass figurines. I like the Fenton glass as their designs are very comtempory and unique which is suitable for my home's modern theme. For glass collector fans, if you are looking for Fenton glass products, you can find many glass items from this link below.

Collector Plates For Mother's Day

Every year this time, I would have already got a mother's day gift for my mother. I've decided to buy rare collector plates for my mother as she has special interest in decorative collectibles. I went through a list of collectible collector plates on eBay and found myself a set of rare vintage porcelain plates from England. The thing about looking for 'collectible plates' online is that the word 'plates' can also mean 'car licence plates' so when you look for collectible plates for sale online and even on 'ebay', sometimes the search results return items that you are not looking for. Luckily I found this website that links to what I want. For convenience, I've place this link here for those people who wants to look for collector porcelain plates, http://www.collectibles.sophiaethan.com/Decorative-Collectibles/Collector-Plates . This link will go to the collector plates section and list all available plates for sale without have to search for them in the directory.
