Plus:
Day 342
Depression-glass
for Candy
Over
the decades I reckon that I spoiled My
Candy-girl---somewhat…to say the least.
She
has one very fine collection of depression-glass acquired as gifts from one
occasion or another, birthdays, Christmas anniversary---or…just for the fun of
it.
Anyway,
she has several glass cabinets chock full of the colorful green, pink and
yellow Depression-era antique glassware and several “specialty”-type pieces to
boot.
The
items were included in boxes of soap and other sundries during the Depression
to induce people to buy the products; a marketing carryover to modern times,
though fading, of late.
Funny,
in a time when no one had much of anything, very nice glassware was “given” away;
today, when everyone has way too much---no freebies! Hmm!
Candy
treasures her “pretties” and I sure enough enjoy seeing her pride. My Angel-baby!
Hmm!
Christmas is coming; might just be time for some additional “collectibles”! Why
not?
Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Depression-glass”
Memories!
