Floral Poinsettia Pink Depression Glass Tablescape Thursday

Here’s an all-pink table for those of you who love this color (and that is a lot of you!). I like the way the pink glass pulls together a table, it’s almost effortless. You don’t need a centerpiece or much else to make a table with all pink depression glass sing. This is one of [...]

Homey and Pink – Homespun Depression Glass – Pink Saturday

Homespun. Doesn’t that make you think of Little House on the Prairie and pioneers?   Here’s a new way to think of Homespun:  pink depression glass from Jeannette. You can see the pattern is different from Jeannette’s other depression glass designs.  Homespun has thin ribs and a waffle texture on the centers.  The ribs do look a [...]

Sweet Swirls with Fireworks on Crystal – Tablescape Thursday

Thank you for visiting with us this Thursday! If you’ve read my recent tablescapes you’ve seen that I’m playing around with mixing and matching different glass patterns. It’s fun.

Drink in Pink – Windsor Depression Glass Tumbler

Depression Glass?  Carnival? Floragold or Louisa?  What Are We?

Here is a riddle for you.  What do you call a sherbet that’s iridescent and has mold etched flowers all over?  This is Floragold from Jeannette Glass. Floragold fans seem split whether this is depression glass or carnival glass or glass from the 1950s.  Here’s why. Pattern Motif:  Flowers all over.  Depression Glass style. Glass [...]

Lose Weight!  Be Pink!  Eat Less!  Floral Poinsettia Depression Glass

Are you looking to lose weight?  One of the tried and true methods is to reduce portion sizes – which never sounds like fun but it works.  It’s a lot easier to eat less when you have a plate that looks full for some reason. During the depression people rarely had to worry about eating [...]
