A few red raspberries ripened in my garden. My husband gathered up the ripe berries in a small plastic container and handed them to me. I decided to put the berries in a vintage cocktail glass as a fest for the eyes.
After decluttering my house, I’ve given away bags of clothing I will never wear again, whole shelves of books, mugs and pans from the kitchen, and a variety of odds and ends. But I am not giving away my vintage cocktail glasses. It’s true I don’t use them much. I use them more for desserts than for actual cocktails. In fact, one of the only times I used them for drinks was for a champagne toast when I ran out of glasses for the holidays. I know totally wrong glass for the beverage.
I think it’s good to mix up usage of your dishes and glasses. My mother-in-law received good china for her wedding. Each piece was precious and well loved. She used her good china for special dinners throughout her life.
I am keeping my vintage cocktail glasses and I am also eating those raspberries. Does anyone have any tips for growing more raspberries? Two glassfuls would have been nice.
