When I was in college I remember friends drinking Brandy Alexanders when I was not old enough to join them. The exotic looking drink always intrigued me with its luscious color and nutmeg sprinkle on top. Every time I see vintage cocktail stems they remind me of Brandy Alexanders. I’ll include the recipe at the [...]

Quite a few of my Fancy Friday picks have been spectacular – Rose Point bon bon, Duncan Miller Sylvan candy dish, Chantilly compote – and a few, like today’s have been lovely little pieces, not expensive, just pretty enough to add a touch of fancy.

I’ve shown Rose Point pretties before on Fancy Friday but this one takes the cake. Cambridge called it a bon bon; I call it special! So… it’s a pretty piece, but what would you do with it? It’s small enough to fit on a shelf and make you smile every time you see it. And [...]

This leaf shaped dish is rare and you won’t find another one. The grooves look like leaf veins and the little [...]

Every time I see these Rose Point juice stems I think of a lovely Sunday brunch with friends. You could serve orange juice or mimosas in these to elevate your meal to special! You can see the recipe for mimosas at the end of this post. Glass companies made juice glasses in their popular patterns, [...]

This week’s Fancy Friday glass piece is this pretty little candy dish. This is iridescent marigold glass shaped like a pansy, cute and fun. The pattern is Doric from Jeannette Glass. Jeannette made Doric during the depression then released a few iridescent pieces in the 1970s. This little candy plate is perfect for a small [...]

Welcome to Fancy Fun Friday, our weekly blog party featuring those little touches that add fancy to our homes and lives. This week it’s horribly hot here in mid-Michigan and time for a cool, refreshing salad. Naturally we’ll serve it in a fancy bowl, like this Fostoria Italian Lace one. This looks fancy but it’s [...]
