Give aways: Quilt Squares, Glass, Poster

Three things to give away to "well known" members. One item per name. See how I assume people will be interested? So there's opportunity here for three people. We'll see what the situation is Thursday evening.

1. These are coasters, but they look like mini quilts to me. Each hand made and about 4 1/2" square. Four different patterns, each with the same mottled brown backing:






2. Is Gay Fad still a thing? These are a pair of Anchor Hocking Royal Ruby small vases, each cold painted with a white tulip, and each with an original price sticker on the bottom. Each is about 4" high and 3" across. The paint is in very excellent condition:





3. This Colorama Babies post I showed recently. I read that the Colorama Babies were first shown in 1984. This poster is copyright 1985 and shows the original babies, and the same kids 2 1/2 years older. Must be the new math. The print is 12 1/2" by 39 1/2". There are pinholes in the two top corners. It has been rolled up forever, and flattening it will be the big challenge:

 

I like the coasters, so would like to be in for those, please. I have way too many coasters already, but they are small so I think I could find room.

 

Those vases are interesting but isn't shipping from Canada to the US expensive?

 

I am not in, but what a lovely gesture to offer this give away.

 

Shipping is my problem. I wouldn't offer if I wasn't prepared to pay the shipping.

So @Figtree3 is in for the coasters. Maybe the give away will be self resolving.

 

Okie dokie, just wanted to make sure. Put me on the list for vases, please!

 

So far, @Bakersgma and @Figtree3 and no conflict.

 

it's nice to see an old Eatons tag.....

I'm in for both coasters & vases..please

( oh...so now I'm conflict , eh ? )

 

OK. So komo is the fly in the ointment.

 

I'll leave the Canadian things to the Canadians. Those coasters look paper-pieced, aka Pain in the Neck.

 

Time to go pick some names. Back in a couple minutes.

So I suppose @Bakersgma gets the vases, and @Figtree3 gets the coasters. Question is: does @komokwa want the poster?

 

See your inbox!

 

no thank you......

 

Don't know what paper-pieced is. Will search!

 

The coasters just arrived. They are lovely! Not sure whether I'll use them as coasters, or something else. Thank you, @moreotherstuff , for your generosity.

 

Glad you got them. One of the few things I've ever shipped where breakage was not a concern.

 

Yes! And the envelope arrived in good condition. It didn't appear to be roughly handled. I hope that @Bakersgma 's package also arrives intact.

 

Yes, it came in fine shape on Wednesday! I was in touch with MOS immediately and forgot about mentioning it here. Sorry!

Amazingly fast work by the posties!
