Market

From the Allameny Flea today, including mint condition wool blanket, Bankcal coin bag, white and red glass marbles, beautiful blue porcelain marble from 1830 unearthed during renovations for the Atlanta Olympics, and a chunk of Celestite for NMc.

Out of Round

Hand made striker marble, more in the shape of an egg, the small rough mark from the punty still visible. Recently found at the Ark.

The House Red

Recently acquired in house reds including Japanese Batik courtesy of VM and TN, new oxblood striker marble picked up at The Ark, vintage Eastern European(?) hemp ribbon ( my family is crazy for ribbon, sometimes  more than the gift itself, often ironing and pressing before storing for the next year when it most likely will go back to another family member. I have seen some ribbon passed back and forth for years.) Also on the list of reds, NMc's hand made heart lavender infused weights/ eye pillows, and finally the return of VM's repaired hand knit red hemp pillow.

Handmade ceramic marble found recently while taking a short walk.

Recently acquired vintage Jabo Marbles. The quest for purple continues....
