How "Sweet" It Is

Old-fashioned, glass and crystal sugar bowls, the fancier the better, have always attracted attention.

They are so very beautiful and reflections of  Victorian times. 

My decorating style has always been very similar to that era.

So much of Victorian decor has disappeared around here, due to the smallness of my apartment and the need to downsize in a huge way.

Many crystal, patterned sugar bowls collected during the years are now gone, mostly given away.

But a few of the retained ones have been given new roles----that of mini-vases for  tiny floral bouquets.

They are so darned cute!

Just like humans, decorating items have to go through changes, too, and they are not always unpleasant.

Now, when I see one of my crystal sugar bowls turned into a floral vase it's easy to just say, "How sweet it is."
