Well, the subject of coffee seemed to take over this thread and, although I like a good cup of coffee it isn't high on my list on "Has to be good".
On the other hand, in the off season for orchids (in Maine from about November to March) I collect an antique glass ware commonly referred to as Carnival Glass. In particular, vases and I am very picky as to condition.
Any one ever heard of this or even collect it?

I also have a small collection of gem stones that I add to now and then.
Gotta love those 'sparklies'!

Collecting Carnival Glass used to be very popular here in the 80's but not as much now. I used to collect Shawnee pottery but don't any more. I was also a huge Beatles fan so I collected first generation US LP's and 45's for years. I was not looking for the best but I wanted a nice complete collection. Now it sits in boxes.

WowHarry, I am surprised to hear anyone even knows what Carnival Glass is!!!
I've bought and sold two collections, now I collect only vases as they take up less room.........until you get 5 or 6 dozen.

Do you still have any Carnival? I still have all my original Beatles records too. If you want to move yours along, e-Bay is an excellent venue for sellers.
