Look What I Got For Christmas!

I know, I know. The idea is to give rather than recieve. But, I have been gifted with a gift that I didn't even have on the list! Yes, I have a small list tacked to the inside of a kitchen cubboard door for my Love to refer to. It is ongoing as I just jot the occasional ideas down as I move through my days. It is a great thing! Saves him from asking and me from trying to forget what I suggested and having to act surprised!

Anyway, we had my Love's family Christmas this past weekend, and his mom brought down some hand-me-on's that turned out to be a gift to me.

Sure, they are used. Perfect!

And, they may not be exactly my style - whatever my style is anyway. Lovely!

Who cares that some were his mom's, some were her mom's, and some are from who knows where - and nobody knows which. More reason to enjoy them all!

Even if they aren't a recognized brand name. Even if they don't "go" with anything else... these will look beautiful in our home. Besides, I find myself more and more often drawn to the clear glass and crystal objects since they are so easily altered with any color to suit any occasion and decor.

Thanks, mom, for these wonderful additions to our home!
