Tuesday's Tablescape

This is a simple tablescape with everyday dishes. The glasses are the focus, though. In our family for many years, we've always referred to them as the "pinochle glasses". Mother, Dad, Grandmother and Granddad used to play pinochle together and always used these glasses during their games.

 

There are seven glasses. Although I am sure there were originally eight, we've only had these seven as long as I can remember. They are thin, tall and frosted and I have never

seen any others like them. Each depicts a different carousel animal.

                                                             Each animal is in a different color.

 

I placed the four I used at the place settings on their

sides to take this picture so that you can see the

designs.

 

Then I used the remaining three for a centerpiece with fresh

backyard flowers.

When we built this house, my parents gave them to me

and I have them displayed with the other good glassware in

the butler's pantry.

 

Pinochle anyone?!
