Very Merry Vintage Syle: Pretty Little {Thrifted} Glasses

I have been cleaning out my cabinets and basement the past few weeks. I've made at least three trips each to Goodwill and the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store. Of course I couldn't stop without taking a peek inside to see if there were any fabulous finds waiting for me. Considering I only came home with something once from each place, I wasn't feeling too guilty.

I have two of these glasses already and my favorite part is the little "crystal ball" on the stem. I had found them at a thrift store several years ago and hadn't seen anything similar since that time. They have the ring of crystal when tapped but I have no idea of their maker. If you know anything about them, please let me know!

I have some beautiful Waterford glasses, but am always nervous about using them for anything but the most special occasions. These pretties will work well for other days. I had a few plain glass stems and decided to donate them to the Goodwill on my next trip so that I could make room for these darling glasses with a bit of sparkle to them {gotta have a little sparkle}.

I was feeling rather lucky that I found 10 in perfect condition at the Goodwill. I was thinking of just picking up six to make a set of eight, and then I decided to grab the other four to make an even set of twelve. My daughter loves the design of them as well, so if I decide I have too many, I know she will take them. I have made the mistake before of leaving part of a set behind with the silver punch cups I found. I changed my mind, went back and of course, the remaining pieces were gone. Lesson learned: if you love it, buy it. Most likely, it won't be there if you change your mind later!
