The colour for this weeks Shades of Inspiration hosted by Sara of Sadie Olive - Le Journal
is green.
Here is a cupboard that I keep some of my green glass wear in.
The top shelf has a jug and glasses set that belonged to my Grandmother.
Unfortunately the jug was cracked when we moved house so I can only use the glasses
The divided dish on the plate stand on the bottom shelf also belonged to my Grandmother
I try and use all of this glass wear as often as possible because I feel it is a bit of a waste to have it just sitting in the cupboard.

The nice thing with this blog is, its very awsome when it comes to there topic.
Alison I love your green glass collection! I too collect green depression glass, and I like to also use it as much as I can. I have some large green jars that I use in the bathroom to store cotton balls and soaps etc. How lovely you have some pieces from you grandmother there too.
Green has ALWAYS inspired me! It's the color of grass and I love walking my tootsies through thick lush green grass........ummmmmm. Love your post today.
Smoochies,
Connie

Oh Alison, the green depression glass is just beautiful! I'm so glad to hear you use it. I used to do more of that and reading your post was a nice little friendly nudge to do it more...While they are "only dishes" it is amazing how dishes and other special pieces bring back memories of days gone by. I also found my eyes watering in reading that precious post on your grandbabies. Very, very touching.
Thanks for sharing!

I love green glass, and you should use it! I always say, "what is the point of having pretty things if you cant use them?" We should all enjoy our treasures as often as possible!
This green glassware is beautiful, especially since some of the pieces belonged to your grandmother. Lovely collection. Karen
Your green glassware collection is wonderful, and you have displayed it beautifully.
I know it is a treasure to you.

I absolutely love your green glass ware! Green happens to be my favorite color. I'm trying to talk my husband into a brighter green for the walls. It might be alittle too bright as he seems to think the walls will glow in the dark! Guess I better find a softer shade.
A precious collection with sentimental value. Thanks for sharing.
Your green glassware is beautiful!! I've never had anything like that. Beautiful!!
Alison, I love your green glassware but love the photos with your grandchildren in the previous post even more - how special are those photos?
Before you know it they will be all grown and those photos will be a reminder of how small they once were. Treasure your time with them.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Your green glass is really really beautiful! I see similar glassware in antique shops from time time, and I have always wanted to purchase it (along with jadeite too!)
It looks like depression glass to me, I don't know why they named it that as it has the most vibrant green colour - very cheerful
I love the colour green something quite refreshing about it. Your glass is gorgeous.
Lovely shades of green!

Beautiful green glassware! I don't have a single piece of green glassware, not even one Jadite! Hum, I need to take care of that... There's a city wide garage sale on Sat. in my daughter's (tiny) town... I'm going and I'm going to be lookin' for GREEN!!!

How beautiful are these dishes! YES! I'm with you, use 'em when you can...
LIVE LIFE BEAUTIFULLY!
Great collection, love GREEN too!
xo, Monica :)
Those are beautiful! I think grouping them together gives them such great presence and importance. A lot of times, people break up their collections, and each piece ends up getting lost in the mix. Love it!
What a lovely collection of green depression glass, more precious because you inherited it and use it:) Rachaelxo
