Green glass hatted Lady Head Vases

Wanted to share some joyful news! Pretty soon, the "twin sisters" will be taking up residence in our awesome cabinet. For those of you that do not know, I collect Lady Head Vases; and have enjoyed that passion since 1991.

I was very fortunate to have found "Steph", the Lady Head Vase, on the right; who is wearing the gold heart shaped earrings. Also, I have been making "Layaway" payments for her. "Lady away" payments, is more like it! I do not deserve the credit for that phrase - "Lady away"; a US friend of mine, came up with that bit term..

"Steph" or "Stephie" is named after my wonderful Aunt Steph, who passed away a few tid years ago. My aunt was a very special and interesting woman; was loved by all; and this Lady Head Vase resembles her so. Same dramatic demeanor, artistic charm, appealing appearance, unique flair, and great fun. In the meantime, the kind person who is holding Steph for me, has a Lady Head Vase "twin" to Stephie; and I have been given first dibs on her. She is also exquisite; and I can not bear to have them be separated from one another. So, I will be on another lay away plan; and when both "sisters", Stephie and Sophie arrive, I will be extra blessed! Have cleared a wonderful spot for them both; and they will be adding a lovely warmth to our household.

The "twins" are a bittidz different; as you may be able to tell. However, there are some original heart shaped earrings; and we will be replacing those as to what Sophie is presently wearing. Actually, one of the tidbitz earrings fell off, so she "spoke up" perhaps. It definitely will make a better look; particularly with the heart shaped necklaces they are already adorned with.

Tidbit - Sometimes, the "wait is well worth the pain of waiting!" because you can appreciate it ("them" in this case) all the more! These particular Lady Head Vases with the glass coloured hats (come in yellow, red, pink, and blue)are very very rare; and to enjoy 2 of them; and as a "set", makes things that much more unusually interesting to a 'collector at heart'.

Bittid - For those of you, who may have these types of Lady Head Vases, there are "replacements" for the glass hats. Happily, the glass hats on these Ladies, are the original ones!!! Eventhough, these "ladies" are quite 'antiquey', they will always remain well preserved! LOL!

Before I also forget, our neighbour returned our vase, that held the wonderful lillies. Please refer to July 25th posting of 'Serene, gentle summer skies", for easy reference, if you would like. I LOVE that photo image - the setting looks so calm and peaceful; as if the whole world was "put on a tranquille hold!"

Instead of an empty vase, it was filled with beautiful bluey/purple hydranges from her garden! (see the photo image similar to the colour of hydranges she gave us) It is always so wonderful to give; but even nicer, when something is given back unexpectedly; and, from the heart. That is a bit of tid, or a tid of bit to reflect upon.

God Bless.
