I've been collecting blue glass for about 20 years now. Something about the way the light glows out of the blue really speaks to my soul and makes sense. Plus I've already shared how
addicted I am to blue. I really love the way it glows on grey days. It shows me that there's still something there to appreciate, some energy and beauty to be had.
Is it just me, or do you see the shadow of an old timey Santa with a walking staff in the bottle? I concede I may have spent too much time in the holiday section of the craft store yesterday. I started collecting vintage Santas three years ago. I figure, you can't hoard them the way you can beads, buttons, and blue glass. I could be wrong.
I think you can hoard just about anything, but there are far worse things to hoard than vintage santas. I have a few that would now qualify as vintage myself (and in some circles, I may qualify as vintage myself). And I see the santa in the bottle.
ReplyDeletemaybe when we become truly vintage we can go on Antiques Roadshow, you know, just as ourselves :)
