Vintage Character Restaurant Glass Haul - One(s) That Got Away
I've posted about a bunch of the [vintage glasses] that I've picked up at garage sales and such over the years here on the blog. I've bought many of them because they were the same glasses that I had when I was kid and they reminded me of a time in my life. Others, like this Chippette's one are something from Nat's childhood.
At the Twin Lakes Estate Sale that I've posted about a bunch recently, I came across this set of vintage glasses that includes a couple of the Carebear ones from Pizza Hut, a Pac-Man one, a Looney Toons one and in the back the "I hate music" ones are from the Smurfs. You can see the price tags that they were asking $3 a piece for these on Friday. I went back on Saturday and they were gone.
I've bought a couple of these Carebear ones, but I don't seem to have posted about them here on the blog. One of them, the Babe dropped and broke. But, I know I have one of them in the cupboards somewhere. I'll try to find it and post a photo. I *have* posted about this sweet vintage Care Bears suitcase that the Babe bought at Antiques on the Bluff in St. Joe's a few Summers back.
As for the prices...I think the $1.50 a piece is about the *right * price. That's about what I paid for the "Big Mac" one from McDonald's recently and at $1 per glass, I would have grabbed all of them! But, say it with me: It is enough to enjoy the existence of things without possessing all of them.
