For Cindy's Friday Show and Tell at "My Romantic Home": Amber Glass

Like it or not, fall is edging its way into the last, lingering days of summer.  Nights are starting to get refreshingly chilly which makes it perfect for sleeping under a warm comforter.

Another sign of fall around our house is seeing amber glassware in the kitchen windows. I finally succumbed to fact that summer was on the wane.

So, up into the attic I went, and searched for the box that held the amber glass collection. Actually, it's a fairly small glass collection.

The best description I've heard about amber glass is that it looks like "liquid gold." It's rich looking and goes perfectly with the colors of fall.

It's even beautiful in jewelry, often made in Lithuania or Poland.

Once, I found some discarded pendants from a chandelier. They were at the bottom of a box, en route to the trash so I immediately scooped them up. Then, I asked an artist friend to make a necklace out of them.  It's a little heavy but he did a great job and now even that amber piece is a favorite.

I still haven't found any suitable curtains for our remodeled kitchen windows and I'm actually even enjoying the bare windows. They let in more light. Now, amber glass lines several of the sills.

Okay, autumn, come full force ahead if you want to. Now that the amber glass is on display,  we are ready for you.
