[@maryjoymath3545]

So glad u could make it to my state. I reside in the inside base of the thumb!!! Niles has a fine store and it looked like u were able to find some lovely pieces!!! That Pink Glass Lamp, Murano Perhaps!!! Beautiful, slender, and delicate lamp!!! Well done!!!💞💞🙃💞💞

[@WellSwung]

Yes Mary! The lamp is thought to be Murano by Toso, but not confirmed yet. I couldn’t believe it when my eyes adjusted 😂 I was shocked when I turned the corner and saw the base was matching glass to the body…👀 It’s gorgeous! Thanks for tuning in!

[@CindyEvans-xd1jd]

So in love with the brain, the weasel, and the face (smallhouse) piece!!!!! Fun place/video!!!!

[@WellSwung]

Agreed, me too! Thanks for watching!

[@CindyEvans-xd1jd]

The lamp perfection!!!! The large yellow cat....what....love!!!

[@WellSwung]

Oh I know! The cat was hard to leave behind!

[@WisconsinBeckster]

I was ready to yell at my screen if you didn’t buy the pink lamp. Or get in my Jeep and drive to that place. Also I like your use of the word “bulbous”. It’s a fun word to say! 😹😹

[@WellSwung]

Haha I agree with those statements!

[@cindyreinhart9552]

Brain art. It's a thing. I never knew. Mike you found some beautiful things and I learned something new! Great day for us both! Thanks! :)

[@WellSwung]

Thanks Cindy! Cool stuff!

[@yblasini9935]

I had to stop the video and comment 😮 You have impeccable taste and knowledge for glass art. Except the brain 🧠 thing 😮 that place is unbelievable 😮

[@WellSwung]

Thanks! Apparently it came out of a very wealthy estate..haven’t researched the artist yet.

[@yblasini9935]

@@WellSwung well it’s interesting 🤨 and hopefully you’ll find out the artist and either keep it for your collection or sell it and make a great profit. BTW, saw the video of your parent’s home (I don’t think I made a comment on that video) wonderful artistic family and great memories. Thank you for sharing.

I occasionally go to antique shops as I would a museum. It’s impractical to collect things and I just enjoy seeing beautiful objects. Niles used to be a good place to visit for this purpose.

[@dianegreen6635]

Loved the brain. Delicious vintage glass...and that pink lamp , fabulous

[@WellSwung]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@DJones-graham5282]

That big geometric cat was super cool! And I love the lamp.

[@WellSwung]

Yes! 💛

Dave Smallhouse was a glass blower that worked at Orient & Flume and went independent and started his own hot shop in Chico, CA.

[@madeleinegombert661]

Loved the blow fish and the brain.

[@WellSwung]

Yes! The vendor has good taste!

[@nancyweems5270]

Love those ole school Neon posters

[@WellSwung]

Me too!! They have a special place in my heart 💛

[@tammydelorenzo2567]

Love the “ no brainer” piece 💚

[@WellSwung]

Right?!

[@samuelkissee3457]

Dave Smallhouse worked at O&F before he set up his own hot glass studio in Chico, CA.

[@Gypsycat69157]

Is that THE lamp? It’s beautiful!!! That place had some nice things. Hope you’re having a great time.

[@WellSwung]

I mean…there’s been a couple/few recently lolol 🤦‍♂️ Having a blast! Thanks!

[@Batmandabomb]

Well Swung is good

[@WellSwung]

Batman is too

[@melisablack7920]

Morning Mike!

[@WellSwung]

Morning!

[@kimkirksey3018]

I would have grabbed that 9.99 amethyst vase in a heart beat

[@WellSwung]

For sure!

[@samuelkissee3457]

Purple bulbous bottle looks like Mexican glass.

[@marsh443]

😱 Yikes, the $140 decanter was WAY over priced!😐

[@WellSwung]

It looked to be in good condition and a desirable color. For the right person I think it’s pretty fair! I just had one like that otherwise I may have made an offer on it.

[@Redeemed_1989]

“No disappointment” video Did you ever video your collection(s)?

[@WellSwung]

Thanks! I haven’t yet..is that something you’d be interested in watching?

[@Redeemed_1989]

@@WellSwung for sure ❣️

[@Chris-Ribeiro]

The pink moon and star dish is so cheap! The pink pieces have gone way up in price.

[@WellSwung]

I know!!! I felt bad leaving it, but it had a couple chipped teeth on the lid.

[@Batmandabomb]

We shoild go picking and you can treat me to lunch

Ohhh so glad you found this place and showed it to us viewers. You have great taste in all that you find . A very artistic eye and very knowledgeable.

[@WellSwung]

Thanks Carolyn!

[@Brandongoheen-f3y]

At that price I think I will leave it also, you would not pay forty because you didn't want to drive that stuff around

[@MamaJo3rd]

[@WellSwung]

[@MamaJo3rd]
