I present my installment of:
I started collecting vintage cut glass in 2005, and it all started with a green glass vase. I loved the color and the elegance, and I easily started a collection. It didn't hurt that there's a profusion of glassware in thrift stores. Six years later, I still check the glasswares section when I'm thrifting.
Although it started with green glass, I quickly expanded to blue, gold and white - known as "milk glass." My collection is not mere decoration, though, I use it in every room in the house. Vintage glass makes great storage containers for craft materials, jewelry, cooking utensils - you name it, there's vintage glass to store it. I even store my button collection in vintage glass!
The humble beginnings of my glass collection in 2005 (taken with my first digital camera - oh, technology!):
Absolutely lovely!!! I too use old glass for "keeping things." I also keep almost all glass jelly jars and Classico spaghetti mason jars...etc to put flowers in all around the house! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your collection. I love glassware, dishes, etc. Love the way you use yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing.
this just made me smile. you are using vintage glass the way I use vintage silver! Isn't it WAY MORE FUN to store your Sharpies in something you love?
