Amber Glass

Today, we are joining Susan's Metamorphosis Monday at her blog Between Naps on the Porch

A very dear friend of mine got me enthusiastic about decorating with different colored glass.

For some months of the year, she has amythyst colored glass all over the place. Then, it's packed away and out comes red glass. That's usually for the holidays, mixed with green, and then the red lasts through Valentine's Day.

Well, come fall, my dear friend always decorates with amber colored glass. This was never a favorite of mine but now I love it. It reminds me of molten gold, rich and brilliant in the sun.

At the end of each summer, I bring the amber glass down from the attic and put it on all the kitchen windowsills.

Almost all of the pieces in this glass collection came from thrift stores, yard sales, and flea markets.

It's so pretty when the sun shines through each piece. It's very reminiscent of fall leaves in the sunshine.

Best of all, I can leave it up until November. After Thanksgiving, it'll get packed away and red and green glass will come out. My beloved friend taught me well.

But for now, amber glass brightens up the kitchen, even on rainy days.
