Several years ago, I fell in love with the look of mercury glass. I love to decorate with it all year round, but at Christmastime, it's especially fun.
I spent the whole of Friday decorating for Christmas and decided to group all my mercury glass together.
There's just something about it grouped and sitting atop my blue vintage dresser.
Here's an interesting story. Both of my sisters were helping me decorate on Friday. As we gathered my mercury glass, we found I was lacking one piece to make it look complete.
No problem, we thought. We'll all go shopping and find something to add to this.
About an hour later, the mail came. With the mail, was a package from Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage. I had won her giveaway.
What did I win?
Well, a very sweet angel made of mercury glass! Can you believe it? Not only was Shannon's giveaway perfect, but apparently she has perfect timing as well!
Pretty cute, huh?
Do you think maybe I should raise her up a little?
Anyway, can I just say if you haven't checked out Shannon's blog, Fox Hollow Cottage yet, you won't be disappointed when you do. Shannon decorates beautifully and she has a lively personality you'll enjoy.
OK, I'll be back to share more of my Christmas decor with you soon.

ReplyDeleteYou mercury glass collection is beautiful! Nice win too!
ReplyDeleteLove your collection and love where you have placed it. That angel is beautiful. What great timing. One of those "moments" that make you wonder.
ReplyDeleteI just love mercury glass! You have a beautiful display!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, I ♥ your mercury glass. Beautiful collection Ÿ
ReplyDeleteHow very pretty ! And what great timing for some good ole snail mail to arrive at your door! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving last week. :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww Gina, your little angel is perfect for your display! It looks gorgeous, I love your dresser too:)
ReplyDeleteBTW, you've never forgotten my name:) But I should've added my signature a long time ago, I'm so terrible at figuring those things out!!!
It was definitely meant to be, so glad you won:)
ReplyDeleteOh great is that! I don't have any mercury glass but I love it and certainly I love it even more on top of that beautiful vintage dresser! Parfait!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win! I love mercury glass too. Your collection is so pretty. Looks perfect sitting on top of the vintage piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!Thanks for sharing Joann
ReplyDeleteReally pretty display. Isn't it amazing how great it works to group like things together? I'll make sure to visit Shannon's blog...lovely giveaway. Sure wish I had my decorating finished. Oh well! I'm sure it will get done.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful all grouped together Gina. It creates more of an impact. Love mercury glass too although I don't own a single piece...yet...Hopefully my hubby will get my hints this year for Christmas. Hee, hee, hee. Sending you a great big hug.
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
♥Ana
*nice* Gina! I love mercury glass, too. I saw some gorgeous pieces in Pottery Barn. Proceeds from some of the candles there benefit St. Jude Children's hospital. I did not buy any, but they sure are pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your little angel. She fits right in with your collection!
xoxoxoxo,
RJ
Wow, how weird is that an angel sent an angel just when you were looking for one!!! Divine intervention! I think she looks great as she is, I wouldn't raise her, unless you want to LOL!
ReplyDeleteCarol
I love mercury glass ,I have to admit though that I didn't have a clue what it was before I started blogging , we blog and we learn.lol
ReplyDeleteI was grouping my mercury glass too. It looks so beautiful on the blue dresser! It is so widely available now. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteMercury glass is perfection: it sparkles, yet it's warm looking. This is gorgeous! I could swipe a piece or two....you wouldn't notice, would you?
ReplyDeleteRemember when I said I was burried in Xmas decor? I was! That's how I missed this post. I am soooo fired. She looks sweet as can be in her new home. I think she likes you. She couldn't have found a better momma. Merry Christmas G ;)
ReplyDeleteLuv Shan
