Clear Glass Never Goes Out of Style...

My grandmother (my mother's mom) and I are very much alike. I feel I am more like her than anyone else int he world, including my mother. My grandmother and I have always had a special bond. As a child I would stare in wonder that the decorations around her house. They would change each season and when there was no holiday around the corner, her house was still filled with figurines, cut glass and other decor.

Now, many grandmothers out there have tons of decor, or one would call, crap. My grandmother does not have tons of crap, but beautifully placed nice things throughout. I remember at a very young age I would love that all my grandmothers plates, cups, bowls, etc all matched beautifully. My mother on the other hand would have 20 different plates and 40 different cups at all times. She collected the free plastic cups from nearly every Applebees trip. Now, my mother isn't poor, just the opposite, she is very well off, but, just very much the opposite of her mother.

I made a vow that when I became a grown up I would have matching plates, bowls and cups, which I do, and silverware, which I do. I also collected tea pots and tea cups just as my grandmother does. In fact, my grandmother has the most beautiful pewter tea set that I would die for. My mother, being her only girl, is suppose to inherit all these treasures when my grandmother passes away, and because my mother is not like my grandmother, and I am, I already know, that when my grandmother passes, these things will go to me, and not my mother.

My grandmother would always give me advice about life, decor and other things. One piece of advice I will never forget is when she told me, "Clear glass never goes out of style". What she went on to tell me is that I should always keep beautiful glass containers because they will never go out of style. And when I ever entertain (another thing I love to do that my mother hates) I can always fill random clear glass containers with snacks, decor, etc and my place setting will always look gorgeous.

So, over time I have collected many clear glass containers and have thrown away nothing. In fact, I love clear glass so much, I am always adding on.

My newest obsession is pedestal pastry trays. I want some so bad. Not sure why, but all of a sudden it' my newest addiction. And, since I must share my addictions, of course I will share the ones I am leaning towards. I think I want a set of 3 in 3 different sizes. I may mix and match from websites, but who knows.

Can't you just see these in the middle of the dining room table filled with cookies, brownies and cream puffs?!?!?! I could die!!! :)

These I love, but can't seem to find where to purchase them anywhere. All the places that show them are sold out. If anyone can find where, please let me know, because these are my number one pick!
