Hi Anik :hi:

He is lovely, isn't he.....made by Langham Glass House....quite unusual....I have only ever seen 2 of them.

You made me laugh, because I was going to say 'You will be pleased to know that I have put my beaver on view in a safer place.' But decided not to because I thought it had ambiguous overtones! (& I was worried the Paul & jp would comment!! :o)

Ambiguous overtones?  Nah...

If I had such a beautiful beaver, I'd also put it in full view for all to admire.  Gorgeous piece!

Here's my first ever theme post.  I call it "Junk Shop Joy".  Everything has been picked up in a junk or charity shop since I started collecting glass two months ago. Sadly the shelf doesn't have room for all my glass finds (or my other love, ceramics). I need more shelving.

It has been a while since I dropped by - I hope everyone had a great summer.

I enjoyed a thread that was here where folks were showing their glass displays. What I saw of it I enjoyed and wanted to share mine but could not find the thread. I have posted pics of my display on my blog - if you wish, take a look: http://bohemianglasscollector.blogspot.com/

I hope you all find some great pieces this fall!

I love the shelving units by the fireplace -- what an original design!  And your glass is beautifully displayed.  Thank you for sharing. :)

I am having camera issues at the moment but I have been meaning to post some pictures to this thread from the start so here is my themed Whitefriars FLC gold shelf. Above is generic Whitefriars (apart from the impostor penguin) and below is Czech glass (not that you can really see them!). I will take some proper pictures when my camera is working but thought I would share this phone picture of my favourite shelf in the meantime.

There is probably too much weight for a glass shelf but I like to live dangerously!

 :hiclp: :hiclp: :hiclp:  What a fabulous selection of glass.   :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:  Envy you the chance to see so much.  Not much here and often ridiculously expensive.

Jeffington lovely pieces and I like the greens particularly, they show off well.
Gorgeous collection Nemmie but  :o I'd be seriously scared of a major collapse.
