a love affair.

I don't remember exactly when it happened, but I fell in love with blue glass at a very early age. My mom had it lining certain windowsills in our house and I was enchanted with its warm and beautiful glow. It was no surprise to my mother that this blue glass then became a focal point of our wedding decor, prompting many decisions in the way of that rich cobalt blue. Since all the blue glass I found for the wedding is in storage {in my parents' home--thanks again, M+D!}, I can only look lovingly at photos like these...and grow my love of colored glass around the color wheel.

Colored glass, whether it is subtle or unmistakable, provides an extra dose of life to any tablescape or collection around the home. I cannot wait to get my blue glass out of storage--and to add to the collection in future years! I hope this post brightens up your Tuesday a bit ;) I'll see y'all tomorrow!


 P.S. See a little more of me at the moment on Elembee, Etc. :)

  3. I'm a real big fan but I would never put it into practice because I'm a weirdo. Also, we have these green glasses that my boyfriends mother gave us and they tarnish the name of all colored glass. ALL OF IT.

  12. I've been collecting colored glass jars to place outside on our patio this summer. I'm thinking of placing little candles in each one for some late night ambience. :)

  17. I've been loving blue glass, as well. I think it's because it reminds me of sea glass :) And I, like you, love cobalt!
