The 2nd from the left makes the patch designation obvious rather than an unswirly swirl. And still see why Vitro would be in the mix. Also wondering about non-American possibilities too ... continuing to brainstorm ... haven't found a match either way ... obviously.

I took my shot at the Ravenswood bags!

that's a stunner

Do we have any confetti in this thread yet? That's Patry's pic. Those are the classic Anacortes styles. If I understand correctly, Linda Moore Simmons has a whole bunch of different colored confettis made during her father's tenure at the plant in West Virginia. But I've only seen them on facebook and am a bit shaky on the subject.

New ones! Veterans Run. November 8. Nice colors. Base clear with white. Winning combo. And some bonus lutz. *happy*

I'm surely not saying "not Vitro". My brain is still trying to picture the packaging they might have been in. ... while waiting to hear from folks who know more

My guess is not. But that's a category which has surprised me. I might not have guessed Vitro even. The colors look WV swirl to me so I wonder if it might be an unswirled swirl. Curious.

Women were able to become Marines starting in 1918. Ginger Rogers' mother was a Marine.

Aw gee, that was especially embarrassing .... because I lived there when I was six. Didn't know New Mexico was ... wait for ittttt ... next to Mexico.

I don't know the name of the state to the left of Texas. How embarrassing. Off to Google now ....

I ran out of lettuce for my chicken sandwich. So I ate bacon on it.

I woke up one day and went to check the mail and there was a sock in a priority mail envelope. One single sock. No return address. Very disconcerting.

Yes! How fun! My small handful stay cushioned in their DAS gift box.

Now that I'm more comfortable taking photos, it's time to show my DAS's some love again. I keep coming back to this particular run, don't I. But I'll post some others as I pack them away for the move. July 28, 2014

It's a nice reminder to pop over to the thrift store because I've found some nice "Made in Japan" jewelry boxes there in the past.

Aw, well, it's a fun box that they're in. And seller just appears to be a generic dealer, without a lot of marbles lying around.

Congratulations! Nice way to end a dry spell.

outasight!

I just sent away all the marble halves I would have had to make jewelry with. And I had some pretties. ALSO, I just sent these away. Last year, after Dave sent me the first set of D.A.S. jewelry, he sent a bunch more ... to give a way to friends ... and *sheepish* I didn't do it yet. Partly I misplaced them for a few months and partly some of them ... well ... some of them will have to be pried out of my hands. I _will_ get pictures of those. In the meantime, these are the two I sent away today. Key chain and necklace.

I'll post these here too ... going through the house and finding more marbles I have no idea where I got them from. When did I start collecting Spirals? I also discovered a secret Pelt Sunset collection .... It has been a good day.

In 1975, whoda ever thunk I'd be looking this song up 40 years later ....
