My New Love

Some of my new glass creations!

Now comes the fun part...filling them!

To my husband's dismay, my love affair with cake plates has fizzled and I have found a new "mistress," if you will. Actually, let me clarify, I am still passionate about cake plates, but I am now enamored with apothecary jars. Surprisingly, Martha is not the culprit for my new found friends, rather Pottery Barn is. My poor husband is at a loss for words. He doesn't understand why I keep buying more glass when more babies are in our future. He feels that every piece of glass I continue to purchase is bound to get broken. In honor of my infatuation with glass, I tell him "Let's have a 'glass' is half full kind of attitude and believe that it will all make it through our child rearing days in one piece." He does not think this is funny, however, and hangs his head in utter despair and defeat. The poor dear, I know it will only make him stronger, but right now the mere mention of glass causes him to get a sour and disgusted look on his otherwise smiling countenance. Darling Thomas, if you're reading this, take heart, perhaps one day when I've passed on to the hereafter you'll fondly reminisce about my love of all things delicate, even in the midst of babies, puppies and chaos. Just remember, this too shall pass and eventually I might fall in love with something a little more durable and shatter-proof. I suppose that is something you can add to your prayer list along with a more sensible wife :) Love you husband, love you Martha, love you cake plates, love you apothecary jars!!!
