This thrift store find already has a place of honor in my kitchen. It has no identifying marks on it, but it is old and the shape is very pleasing to me. Plus it represents the blue/green theme that I love so well.

Continuing the saga of accoutrements for the tea table, here is a charming vintage blue-green pressed glass creamer. It has an elegant shape and lovely pattern that pleases the eye.

Its color reminds me of my engagement stone, a type of blue-green tourmaline known as indicolite.
