Default Seed Beads

Got to thinking...do they make a light mint green seed that is milky *and*
has a AB type finish?

Thinking along the lines of this piece of dish I found. And since it was
mentioned that it might be Jadeite Depression glass, I went looking. Doesn't
really look the same.

This piece is very light green, almost like milk glass with a slight
carnival glass sheen to it. (think dishes here. lol)

I simply haven't had time to look online or anywhere else between going to
the hospital and running errands for grandma. (I haven't even had time to
breathe really. Seems every other day I get a call saying that it could be
the end, but then he proves everybody wrong. I'm getting really stressed out
here. lol)

If anybody knows about these, let me know. No need to go looking just for
me.

Thanks,
Rachel

FENTON made a color like that a few years ago ...

wouldn't surprise me - but the Depression era Jadeite does not have the
carnival finish...

Opal is probably the key word here. Try Light Green or Mint Opal AB.

I've never seen it with an a/b finish, not in seeds. Just in czech beads.
