Hey, I remembered to blog for 2 days in a row. Go me.

One of my earliest memories of being given a piece of glass  was a pretty green vase that my aunt gave me. I was probably 8 to 10 years old.  I used to love to sit in the library in her house and look at all the books and the wonderful cobalt blue glass pieces on the shelves, along with lot of other interesting things that have been long forgotten. I do remember those cobalt blue pieces though. She also gave me a snack set. It had dark red cups & what I now know is a Button & Daisy pattern crystal snack plate. I think I’m short a cup, so if I ever find one I’ll probably get it to complete the set. Will I ever use it? Probably not. Collectors will tell you that’s not the point.

Ah, collectors. What a wonderfully diverse group of people. People collect all kinds of things. Glass, pottery, china, cars. You name it, someone out there probably collects it. For a look at the weird & wonderful, here’s a link:

I think I’ll just stick with glass and porcelain, thanks.
