Adding a bit of crystal, or any kind of glass for that matter, adds a touch of class to most any vignette, don't you agree?
Whether it's a candlestick, or a pretty piece of stemware.....
When I'm on a cleaning roll, nothing makes a bigger difference than washing up all the glass items, and rearranging them a bit. (That includes the glass on all the many, many family photographs..)
Finding vintage crystal on my junkin' adventures with the Navigator is one of my favorite finds... *sigh* Aah yes, that touch of bling changes the look of everything.



OOOh Pretty Tracey!!
I love adding glass, it does make things sparkle.
Have a great Friday!

Yup, I think the sparkle off of crystal and glass pieces from the light reflection is extremely elegant. (I just hate cleaning all that stuff - - I now just throw in a "load" at a time in the dishwasher. . . comes out beautifully clean and sparkly.)
Blessings,

Those are all very pretty vignettes. I've never done a whole lot of crystal, but have been seeing things lately that are making me rethink that. Your pictures just might be the catalyst to make me start using it a lot more.

What nifty ideas!!
I have been admiring your black handles flatware. That add just the right touch.

Hi Tracey, you are certainly a girl after my own heart -- I, too, love crystal and finding them on my strolls at thrift stores is one of my favorite adventures. I love to visit you; your blog is a delight to see.
You have a wonderful weekend my friend!
Love,
Cielo

I have been collecting glass from thrift stores this year. I have some beautiful amber
Carnival glass that I'm putting out as part of my Thanksgiving decorations.
Clear glass is very elegant, tho!
