I'm happily married to Mr. Man. We have 2 daughters, Big R and Little R. I'm a stay at home mom. We moved from the big city to the country, living a dream. I'm a collector and a packrat. I'd rather read a book than watch a movie. I battle depression. I love life, but that wasn't always the case. This is my journal.

Show and Tell Friday

Show and Tell

It's Show and Tell Friday. I've never done this before but it looks like fun so I am joining in. Kelli of There Is No Place Like Home is the host. Go on over to her site to check it out. You can participate or you can just check out all the other participants.

I figure I'll show my glass collection since I've been talking about it lately. I have collected this glass from auctions, yard sales, thrift stores, a few things from people who have passed away, and even some from dollar stores. Glass is everywhere in my house. I love coloured glass. I love the rainbow effect when the sun shines in the windows where a lot of it sits.

Please excuse the photos, they're not the best. I was kind of rushed. From doing this I have learned that quality over quantity is probably best.

The first picture is just a collection of coloured glass in my kitchen window. Not much detail.




Next is a better look at my red glass.



Next is purple and pink glass.



Pink glass.



Knobby glass and carnival glass.



More knobby glass.



Next is my green glass in the window in my familyroom. Yes it is buried in snow.



And my amber glass. Also in a familyroom window.



Miniature glass figurines.



Glass fruit and vegetables.

So there you have it. My house is full of glass. I couldn't show it all. This was my first time joining Kelli's Show and Tell. I was a little nervous. It was fun. I look forward to next Friday. I'll try to have better pictures next time too. Thanks for checking it out. Have a great day.

Nice blog. You have an awesome collection of glass. I liked the pics. It makes one so proud to own a collection like that. I have this Carnival Glass collection given to me by my grand mother. I very much attached to it.
