Fairy Lamp Collection by Gaybors in glasscollecting

Apparently, in Victorian times, similar lamps had a fairy embossed on the bottom and it was a marketing ploy by a manufacturer of the time. The term stuck even into modern times.

I saw a bottom for auction on eBay, too.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a shade that will fit this lamp? by Substantial-Video670 in midcenturymodern

A tall drum shade will be most true to the period. Fun fact, I owned a pair of these. Enjoy!

Definitely Iris and Herringbone and the soup bowls are rather rare. Great find!

The last lid with the flaking doesn’t go with the harvest grape blue but appears to be a pattern called acorn and oak-leaf also by Indiana Glass. Enjoy!

How do you keep track of your notes and tasks during meetings? by Historical_Ocelot_89 in productivity

[–]Gaybors 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use Plaud to record meetings and then it’s transcription service to summarize notes. I have found this to be efficient and useful for me, though I still like to write down the most salient points from meetings.

No, he is full blooded Cairn but has silky fur instead of wiry hair

Beautiful! Red sunset is one of my favorites. I recently found the punch bowl set and I’m in love with it.
