January 26 - Gram's Crystal


These mean the world to me. At a loss for what to take a photo of today, I relaized these would be perfect. This was my grandmother's set of pre-war crystal. On the bottom shelf you'll see the open "dish" champagne glasses, rather than the modern flute style. And that TINY little cordial class... so delicate and dainty. When we moved Gram out of her home and into a nursing home this was one of the only things that I knew had to come with me. We don't use these glasses, not even on special occasions as I did growing up. These are a memory, preserved, a space in time. I will for always treasure and protect them.
