The Green, Green Glass of Home ~~~(For Cindy's Friday Show and Tell at My Romantic Home!)

One of my absolutely dearest  friends who lives in Arizona astounds me with her colored glass collection.

She has hundreds of glass pieces in different colors----amber, amethyst, cobalt blue, green, red, and so on.

She keeps all her pieces packed away in boxes. Every couple of months, whatever glass was displayed in her home gets packed away and new colored glassware comes out of storage.

When we lived in the southwest, I used to love to visit her any time, but especially on days when her different colored glass pieces came out.

While I do not have the extensive collection my friend has, I did begin to collect glassware in different colors. 

Today, I'm sharing with you some green pieces. Eventually, I would like to add glass shelves to an unused window and place all the same colored glassware on them.

  This dish is more than 36 years old. I know that because my late sister-in-law gave a set of them to my husband and I when we married.  Two large plates and single small one are all that's left of the set. My sister-in-law, sadly, has gone to the other side of life.   ( I'm happy to report the marriage is still going strong!)

Right now, all of the green pieces are on a cabinet
top in our pantry. Some line the windowsills of a
nearby window.They are mixed with transparent
glass pieces.

I hope, so much, you have enjoyed seeing my green glass collection!  Sometimes, pieces of colored glass can be purchased for very reasonable prices. Next time you are thrift store shopping or have the opportunity to go to a an estate sale, think "colored glass!"
