Weekend Reflections

While I was taking photos for the Photo Scavenger Hunt in my previous post I noticed this reflection and immediately thought it would make the perfect choice for my first post for Weekend Reflections. It is an informal reflection themed meme started just last week by James of Newtown Area Photo. You can click here for the simple rules to follow.
Because inquiring minds want to know - this is my living room and that tea glass has plain Dr. Pepper in it because I was out of Cherry Dr. Pepper!

"Show Me..." - Welcome To My Kitchen

Day two of Robert's "Show Me..." photo project was to post a picture centered around something in your kitchen. My favorite part of my kitchen is the glass door cabinets above.

I wasn't sure when I first moved in if I would like them. I'm just a cram things in and shut the door kind of girl and with these you have to be neat. I've come to like them a lot. I have put some of my most precious glass items on the shelves.

If you open the doors on the left you can see a glass dessert bowl set on the top shelf that my Mom's good friend gave me when I got married. Some of you will remember my Mickey Mouse cup from Project Black. The red bowl was given to me by my Grandpa when I was still young enough not to appreciate it so much but it has become one of my favorite possessions.

In the left side of the cabinet is a plate that is a Warren Kimble design that I picked up for under five dollars and didn't know until later it was a Kimble and a great deal. The compote dish is a twin to the one you saw in the left cabinet. They look a lot like carnival glass but I don't think they are. The swirled glass collection on the middle shelf is from Scotland. My Hubs used to travel to a submarine base there and would bring them back to me from his trips. In the bottom shelf is a glass coke bottle my brother found out hunting last fall. It is stamped on the bottom with my hometown's name. When I was very young there was a bottling company in the town where we grew up. It has been gone probably fifty years. It was quite a find that he knew I would appreciate.

A larger look of that end of the kitchen.

Look closely. I made chocolate chip cookies and a pot of fresh coffee for your visit.

Thanks so much for visiting today.
