Visiting Portland, OR because my daughter had a baby!! She lives in downtown Portland 2 blocks from the Amazing Powell Bookstore. Hubby and I went up to the top floor just to explore. I wondered if they had any paperweight books? YES!!! I scored 3 awesome books I’ve wanted for a long time. I already have a few but these will probably complete my collection. And 2 are hardback! All 3 were less than $50! Score!!!!! Santa came early!

I was finally able to catch one of the King Tut paperweights! I’m very excited and it makes a great combination with my original King Tut Exhibit brochure from the Original King Tour of America in 1977. My grandmother took my sister, brother and I to see the exhibit in New Orleans. 😁

So excited to help another collector work on completing a group. I exchanged a weight for this beautiful Peter McDougall paperweight! It’s so beautiful!

Someone posted an excellent article on Baccarat Pansies. It was too good not to share. Mine is a 3. What is yours? https://petrifiedwood.rocks/paperweights-baccarat-france-antique-pansies/
