ABOUT ME Hi! My name is Jen and this is a little bit about myself. First, I must say this project was a lot of fun. Like a book from my gradeschool years lol. I don’t know if children today still do book reports, but when I was in school, they were required and boy did I dread reading the assigned books then having to summarize them! I loved reading books that interested me and hopefully this will interest you. I created it for anyone that needs help with identification. For the novice glass collectors that buy animal covered dishes because they fall in love with the way they look or the type of animals they are, or simply for their colors. For the avid collectors who enjoy buying a few of each animal regardless of the maker. For the veteran collectors who may have hundreds of glass dishes who never cease to amaze me with their beautiful collections. For the people that have inherited or purchased someone’s entire collection or part of a collection and need help to identify things. For the people like me that are meticulous about every detail needing to label things and just absolutely need to know the whats, whens, whos, hows and whys of the animal dishes they own. For me, what started with one Asian yellow stained glass bunny on a nest, has flourished into a full blown collection of hundreds of mixed and matched animal covered “candy” dishes of all glass types and colors. No particular glass maker, just everything I can’t live without. LOL. Anyone that knows me would tell you that I stop at nothing, studying book after book searching for answers about my own glass animals until I find them. I have never been satisfied with a mystery….unless it involves me watching Columbo, my lifelong favorite television program! I am a mystery solver... a true detective. I get this from my Mother, Cindy -Sultana- Wheatley. I need to get to the bottom of a piece of unidentified glass. It drives me bananas not to know everything I can about each piece that I own. Next, I will tell you that the monetary value of my glassware means nothing to me. I collect it because I love it. However, unique and rare is always a find! Sure, like every collector, I love a bargain and have had to pass up many pieces that I could not afford. Ooooh the ones that got away. They haunt me. I can assure you that when I get a new addition to my collection, it has found its forever home. Someone before me and usually possibly before them owned these animal covered dishes making a kind of history that I can only imagine in my mind, its importance to each person. There is a reason behind every single glassware in every single dwelling. Glass symbolizes many things. It is proudly displayed. It is important to the person who owns it. I enjoy seeing the happiness glassware brings to people, especially these animal covered dishes. Who doesn’t love animals? I also enjoy seeing my collection knowing these pieces of history live on and hope that when I am long gone, they will be in other homes. My glass brings me peace; most peaceful in the evenings when the cabinet lights are on and the glass does its natural thing; what it was intended to do since the day it was made...look pretty! To me, it is reminiscent of having a year round Christmas Tree. Glass is AMAZING! I am a country girl through and through. I love all things nature. I am an avid bird watcher and an all around animal lover. I live in the beautiful state of Kentucky with my husband and our two dogs, Monkey and Johnnie, who by the way, is named after my all time favorite singer, Johnny Cash.
