Glass Can Make Your Party!

Glass comes in such fun colors and shapes, here's some ideas for your next retro party!

Like amber glass pitchers and chip and dip sets. These would be fun at any picnic or party!



If yellow isn't your color, how about green! Berries would taste so much berrier in this set,

milk definitely tastes better when consumed from these pretty green goblets,





and lemonade was INVENTED for these!





Something vintage, with a warm glow


decorative and useful


and just plain cute!




Hey, what are you doing here, you belong in the last post!

Vases


Glass grabs me. I don't know why but it is what stops me on the street when driving by a garage sale and twinkles at me in a thrift store. It is delicate, yet incredibly tough. We eat from it, drink from it, cook with it, look through and into it daily.


Perhaps it's the variety that appeals to me. I seem to be a sucker for vases!




Sometimes you start out with one



Then before you know it you have two


or three!



So many styles, colors, sizes and makers.




Come take a tour of Midcentury Marilyn's glass department, many fine vintage glass pieces including a HUGE assortment of vases!

It's Summer, How About A Vintage Road Trip!

A good map or atlas is essential on a roadtrip! Where shall we go?
Better pick up some travel brochures!

Don't forget to send a postcard!



Bring everyone back a souvenir! Don't forget the gear

and things to keep the kids quiet


and something to read by the pool!


So gas up the car, pack a bag,

and see the U.S.A.!!!
