Kate & Bill Lavelle
It was Kate’s hobby for the first five years, and Bill became co-collector of Carnival Glass after that time.
Although they collect many different shapes of glass, Bill particularly likes tumblers, enameled pieces and novelty items, while Kate has a weakness for vases, large and small, including hat vases and tumbler whimseys, but squatties, in particular, are her favorites.
Kate frequently writes articles for the ICGA Carnival Pump and has also enjoyed her outstanding role as the editor of the Lincoln Land Carnival Glass Club newsletter from June 2013 to December 2014.
