Let me be clear: I’m not normally one to go in for rappers. Over the years the only rap that has ever gotten significant play in my house has been Gil Scott-Heron at one end of the spectrum and MC Hammer on the other. So Macklemore? Not my usual fare.
But I was not deterred! I decided to make the rounds of a few Fairfax/Annandale favorites later in the week and behold:
I’d never understood the fascination with Depression glass, frankly. I know a lot of people love and collect it, but even when I was in my Art Deco phase, I didn’t really care for it. But when I happened upon these pieces at the Salvation Army in Annandale, I knew I had to have them. They look so Anthropologie, don’t they? The gold rims are what make it for me. I got six sets for my $20.
DON’T THEY?!?
I was a little afraid when you said your TS find glowed under black lights! Great score though, I've never seen the gold rims either.
you are right. the gold rim makes ALL the difference. great scores!
Frankly, I'm maybe still a little bit scared. I mean, it's not like I'm going to drink out of them, but uranium? How is this safe? Though it is, apparently, not problematic as long as you don't eat the actual glass: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090926093943AAlfN40.
Thanks! I'm an avid thrifter, but this was actually one of my better finds recently.
