Depression Glass

I spend all too much time window shopping in antique stores.  Always learning something new about the tools people used to use.  Always imagining new purposes for abandoned items. Always wanting the set of Bauer bowls or the pristine farm table.  And very recently... I have added Depression Glass to the list of items I covet.

Found a mint condition Fostoria creamer and sugar bowl on a little tray at an antique store last week.  Managed to avoid buying it - hoping to quell the desire - but after two days passed I had to go back and give the piece a proper home.  Because I loved it so much, I hoped that my soon-to-be-bride friend would too.  (She is one of my few friends who appreciates antiques and history which makes me love her all the more)  I had some help wrapping (see earlier post) and gave her the set for her bridal shower.  Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture before gifting the items.  Found the above photo of the set (sans tray) online.
