Today’s tablescape is is one of those things that sounds like a great idea in the middle of the night that isn’t maybe quite so wonderful when you’re actually awake.

We had company visiting this week and went antiquing several days. (I’m antiqued out!) Most days we found a few pieces of depression or elegant glass in patterns I carry in my store, which makes the trips satisfying as well as fun.

Eeek! Not more candleholders! Yes, more candleholders, but these tell a story. We went to a big flea market in Clare, Michigan a few weeks ago and got these candleholders. So what are they?

We’ve talked before about the way I buy glass, which is from local flea markets, estate sales and eBay. Locally I can usually find elegant glass but depression glass in good condition is getting scarce. Last time we went to the flea market I left behind some Normandie, Sharon and Madrid glass that was worn. [...]
