January Photo Project: 31 Days of Glass

Broke my favorite Mimosa/Margarita pitcher last weekend, so in fond memory of that dearly departed fat-bellied jug, this month's project is all about glass.

1: Squidoo.


Squidoo is a talisman I found at Empire in downtown Kent. Her power is to inspire the written word - squids and ink. And if I ever wrote anything, I'm sure she would be most inspiring. Right now, she's hanging from an ancient mirror, waiting to be called into action.

2: Etched dish.


I've always liked this dish - my Mom gave it to me a few years ago. I think it was one of her wedding presents. Anyway, the lacy rose filigree is pretty and it looks great filled with cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving.

3. Hale pitcher.


It was made at Hale Farm sometime in the '70's or '80, by the glassblower in residence. It cost the earth (or maybe I was poor at the time), but it's held maple syrup at many a brunch. The spoon is one of my Grandmother's, one of several orphans - no knives, no forks, no serving pieces, just some pretty little spoons for tea.
