So, for those who don't know, I have started collecting Fostoria. Here's what happened..... When looking to buy a house I started regularly attending estate sales. Living in HSV there is an Estate Sale that begins almost every Thursday. If you know anything about going to sales you know that you begin to run into the same people, specifically the estate sale agents. I have made lots of friends, and while at a sale I spotted a Fostoria water pitcher. Now, Meme dragged me to a few sales and auctions as a kid, and from sheer boredom I learned a few things. I made sure it was real and bought the pitcher. My life is not the same. It is such an amazing feeling when I find pieces here and there, and I wish so much I could share this with my grandmother, but instead of being sad I reach for thankfulness. Along with many other traits I am grateful to have inherited her appreciation for the finer things in life. And now, among my estate sale buddies, I am known as "that young girl who collects Fostoria."
