Think Spring! Springtime comes to Phoebes early

Baby, it's cold outside. 
We decided to bring spring a little early. We did a window to warm your heart and got some gardening items for you to shop for in anticipation.
Stop by and say hi. Think spring.

As we do a fine business repairing lamps we always have those hard to find shades, globes and chimneys that you just can't find anymore. Most are 9.95 each.


If you don't see what you need at the shop, ask...we probably have it at the warehouse!

What is Goofus Glass

The origional Carnival http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goofus_glass Glass!
From Wikipedia  
Goofus glass is pressed glass which was decorated with cold, unfired paint in the early 20th century in America by several prominent glass factories. Because it was mass-produced and relatively cheap, it was given as a premium for buying things, awarded as prizes at fairs. It was the first carnival glass, preceding the iridized product we refer to as carnival glass today.
Articles produced included plates, bowls, vases, oil lamps, dresser sets, salt and pepper shakers and candle holders. The most common colors used were gold, red, and green, with gold usually being the predominant color. The exact etymology of the name is unknown, but likely stems from the fact that the painted decoration wasn't very durable and people felt that it was "goofy" or that someone had tried to "goof - us".
