In Love With Glass



I really love things made from glass - I have always liked its reflective qualities. I have found a couple of really pleasing things in the local charity shop just recently - and they fit into the house so well. The first is a Murano style glass ashtray - which is too beautiful to use as an ashtray and looks lovely in the light.


The second is a lamp made from twisted glass. I have had a google and found a similar one from the 1950's. I bought a shade from Dunelm and it looks great on the table by our patio doors. It will be functional there too as there is no light switch at that end of the room for when we come in through the back of the house.
