8/Eight?????
My first thought was that I was going outside and look for a “8” – but then I remembered the beautiful 8 crystal glasses I inherited after my mum. I’m now the 3rd generation that uses them.
They are from the beginning of 1900’s – thin as paper and with a rim lining of gold. 8 small beauties that is so precious to me. A photo from this morning.

I imagine they have been part of many celebrations! 😉
I think it’s a while since they was used – in other words time for a party. *smile
🙂
Very pretty.. and two of the glasses make the figure 8:D
Thank you, you saw something I didn’t see.*smile
Love the photo and the history behind the glasses…
Rob, thanks for lovely comment.
They look so familiar.When I saw them nostalgia overtook me. My Mom had tons of them. They were washed and cared for over the years after many celebrations. The memories just washed over me. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure … I remember from my childhood that there a lot more glasses around – so happy for the 8 that I have today. Thanks for your visit and for the nice comment.
Gorgeous glasses Viveka. 🙂
Thanks, Suzanne … !!! *smile
Nice to have the glasses. I have some wine glasses that my mother gave me…they had been my grandmother’s.
There weren’t much glasses or crockery after mum, but I’m glad I was able to get those ones. Even if I will not use them very often, they are a memory from my childhood too. Grandpa’s 50th birthday – I was 3 and drunk under the kitchen table … me and the dog, both drunk, because we had been licking the glasses from the liquor..
As always, love your creativity and music to match.
Thank you, so much – Frank. I normal get the idea of the music very quickly, but to find a suitable version take a bit of time.
Speaking of music, the last edition of Time The Musical is currently playing. You will send a song that (for you) is linked to a special/personal moment in time.
Okay I will jump across … to your world NOW!!! Had a very bad “sorry ass” week – terrible, so I haven’t spent much time sitting down.

They are so lovely, Vivi. 🙂 Keep them away from me! My first thought was glasses too but mine are all shapes and sizes because I’m better at dropping than polishing them. Truly, nothing to do with the wine 🙂 Big hug!
I remember that there were quite a few more of them, but as with girls and guys like you, they have gone lost. I haven’t used them yet – so pretty in the lighting inside the cabinet.
They are beautiful, I bet perfect for special celebrations 😀
Cheers

I rarely drink sherry or liquor – I remember my grandpa’s 50th birthday … then they were use and there was a lot more glasses too. That is 60 years ago.
I love old china and glass ware too!
I like to set nice tables … to make a frame to my food.
Don’t have to be silver and crystal – so long is’t nice and welcoming.
These are really gorgeous glasses, Viveka. I’m sure they are very treasured. Love this song. 🙂
