   Thanks to those of you who have responded in the past! We really enjoy, and   
   appreciate, the feedback!   
      
   It's always fun to see what other people own and treasure! Although we can't   
   put the pictures in this newsletter, please visit our Facebook page to view   
   the images and learn about those items.   
      
   Please let us know if you'd like us to highlight one of your favorite   
   collectibles!   
      
   Anna B sent in this nice email about how she started collecting:   
      
   "In the mid 1970's I worked with a young lady who was collecting pink "Cherry   
   Blossom" depression glass.  I would give her rides to work and we would go to   
   antique and second-hand stores after work.  This started my love of depression   
   glass and now I have so much I can hardly turn around!  My favorite was the   
   pink, but now it is the uranium green that glows under a black light, but   
   truthfully, I love it all."   
      
   She also sent in pictures, which can be seen on our Facebook page here:

   Rachael G sent in this request for help:   
      
   "I recently bought some glasses from a vintage store (attached is a picture of   
   them.) I cannot find a brand name on them and I did not think to ask someone   
   in the store while I was there.  Would you be able to tell me the general   
   decade these could be from, or any advice on how to figure out the brand on   
   these?  I am partly curious and partly want to make sure that these are, in   
   fact, vintage.  Any tips are appreciated.  Thanks for any help.:)"   
      
   You can see the pictures here - perhaps someone can be of help to Rachael:
