Display Case

Aug 4, 2011

Recently, mom and dad bought a new enter­tain­ment cen­ter for their den and asked if I wanted this vin­tage dis­play case because they no longer had room for it… well you can cer­tainly imag­ine yes could not come out of my mouth fast enough. I drove from Beau­mont like a lit­tle old lady in fear I would break the glass.

Well it got here all safe and sound and now is being filled with thrift store finds, items mom and dad have found for me and even a few from my aunt. I like to use these items for photo props and con­tain­ers in my classes. It’s great to finally have every­thing well, most every­thing in one spot instead of all over the house here and there.

I won­der how many peo­ple looked through this dis­play case over the years? I always won­der things like this as I really would like to know.

Old books, cro­cheted run­ner, sugar bowl and milk glass

Clear glass dishes, bowls and vases

Milk glass ash­trays, juice cups, salt and pep­per shak­ers and my grandfather’s mar­tini glass

Here are some fun lit­tle pieces I plan on alter­ing… spoon, deck of cards and secret future class pieces inside the dish. I can’t wait to start head­ing to WV next week as I know I will find some more won­der­ful pieces to add the case.
