On a whim a few years ago MMS Estate Finds

stepped into the antiques and collectibles arena.

This decision was one of those spur of the

moment choices that has grown into quite an

adventure. MMS Estate Finds chose to begin their

antiques journey at Norwood Antique Mall. As

the months passed MMS honed their antiquing

skills and their shop grew bigger and bigger.

Theyve since expanded to Parkersburg Antique

Mall and finally, at Nostalgia!

Although they would never admit it, the MMS

folks are unsung heroes who are willing to share

their time, talents, and energy to help make a

project or event run better and smoother. They

have no problem helping you lighten your load.

MMS Estate Finds can be found at Nostalgia in the

center of our store just past the customer service

desk on the left. They are also located at the foot

of the steps in Norwood. Be sure to stop by and

visit their shops.

Cleaning milk glass is easy! Wash in

warm, not hot, soapy water. Add twoteaspoons of vinegar to warm rinse

water. Rinse in the water vinegar

mixture. Air dry.

Bottle brushes can be used to clean more

than bottles. They can be used to clean

bud vases, too.

Grimy enamelware should be washed

with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth.Do not use anything abrasive. Enamel is

made of glass and can be scratched or

chipped.

Happy 2013 to you all! Toodles for now

from Miss Perfect. Cheers for now!

Collecting Milk Glass

When we hear the term milk glass we often think of the creamy, whiteglassware of yesteryearthe kind of glass that lined the shelves of every fiand dime store. Our grandmothers had these lovely items sitting around t

house decorating the tagre and the powder room vanity. Today, weautomatically visualize white hobnail glassware. Little did we know, therebit more to it than that.

Something you may not know about milk glass is that it comes in colors ot

than white. Milk glass was produced in pink, blue, green, brown and black

name a few. Milk glass originated in Venice, Italy in the 16th century but, t

most collectible pieces are from the 17 th century. Its ironic, but true.

When looking for an addition to your collection its beneficial to know thatpiece originally had been painted and if the glass retains even a smidge of

paint, its best to leave it there. In other words, refrain from peel the last

bit of paint.

My final rule of thumb isif you love the item, add it to your collection.Youre the one who will admire it the most. Beauty is in the eyeof the beholder. Happy collecting!

ENAMELWARE

Enamelware first gained its popularity around

the end of the 19th century when it becamereadily available in mail-order catalogs and

local retail establishments. A wide variety ofitems were stamped from thin sheets of iron or

aluminum and then coated in enamel. These

items quickly became necessary pieces for

anyones kitchen such as biscuit cutters, ladlesand baking tins. Since these enamel pieces

were so much lighter, yet sturdier than the

kitchenware that was used in previous decades,it became an immediate hit with the lady of the

house. Although the very fashionable china

was indeed, much prettier it was also quite

fragile. This often relinquished the heirloom

china to the cupboard and enamelware becamethe mainstay in every kitchen.

Todays collector knows that enamelware canbe identified in different classifications:

graniteware, ironware and agateware.

Graniteware seems to be the most recognizable

term and is highly sought after by todayscollectors. All forms of enamelware were

produced in a wide range of colors such as red,blue, purple, brown, green, pink and white. The

patterns were just as varied as the color

choices. Speckled pieces are often snatched up

to fill an empty void in a country kitchen.

French enamelware usually features a floral

motif these are considered a rare find today.

Since enamelware lasts forever, it is often

featured in primitive dcor design. Its presence

gives a true impression of everything that is

good and sturdy. Its bright colors are often the

centerpiece of a well-prepared vignette. Both

Norwood and Nostalgia offer a large selectionof enamelware for your decorating needs. Stop

by to see us today!

If you are interested in becoming a vendor at Norwood Antique Mall or Nostalgia, please let us know.

We, occasionally, have available shops. Monthly rental pricing depends upon the size of the shop.
