is a vintage fork, bent to hold these fabulous vintage
CLEAR CRYSTAL PRISMS...

CLEAR CRYSTAL bobache
to her's...
and I had one I had bought on EBAY about 5 yrs. ago and
had never really done anything with it...
It fit perfectly on this chandy and
I was thrilled !!

THESE beautiful, vintageCLEAR CRYSTAL
rooster bookends were given to me by a cousin.
They are so well made and so heavy...
when Mr. Sweet is out of town, I sleep with one of

bring even the biggest man to his knees with a hit from one of these..
then...
i'd have time to RUN......BABY......RUN !!

Oh what a bunch of sprakly beauties you have. I am getting more into clear glass and cut glass accessories these days. You have a great collection bj!!
Oh BJ ... your porch party was so much fun ... thank you for the invite, though you were so busy playing hostess you probably didn't even see me!
Crystal is also a favorite of mine and I need to pull it out and use it more often.
BJ, those are great sparkling pieces! Love the goblets the best of course... ;-)
So pretty Bj! I love everything! I want one of those chandeliers they are so neat!
All the best,
Allison
Love all your pretties BJ, and the fork chandy is great!!! Love the new blog look too!!

I love all your crystal, BJ, especially your mother-in-law's gorgeous pitcher and your mother's cut crystal bowl. I know you love using them.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that I love your new blog look. The bowl of verbena is so pretty and cheerful looking. It's just perfect!
I love your crystal clear goodies too BJ. Are you saying you MADE that beautiful fork chandy? It's awesome! I love your summery blog makeover too:>) Hugs
Mmmm... I love crystal. My decorator thinks I use too much of it but I am glad that I do!
I love the cups in the flour and sugar, how pretty AND practical!
stopping by from SITS.
hope you are off to a great week!!!!!
Now those are some very shiny objects, BJ! And you know how I am about my shiny objects! Love your crystal, and I could get next to that rock that Miss Taylor loves!
XO,
Sheila :-)
You are so smart to feature the crystal and glass items. They are very pretty. I love your crystal chandy. That fleur de lis is gorgeous.
What a beautiful post of sparkle! I love that fruit bowl.
Have A Terrific Tuesday

I love your photos...
Every crystal piece is beautiful!
I never thought of using a rose bowl to hold silverware...what a great idea!
Loved all of the crystal! I have a lot handed down from my mother & grandmothers and should get it out to enjoy. I do wear and enjoy all of my mother's diamonds, however!!!! Sally
Hi BJ --
I saw your reply to Judy at Just a little something...and I clicked on your profile to find your site. I laughed out loud when I saw your favorite books and movies...we share many of the same favorites. Then boom...I visited your site, and found all the lovely clear crystal...and I laughed harder. I LOVE clear glass and crystal...cut or uncut. There is just something about it that is elegant, pure, fresh, timeless, classic...all the things I try to be (try being the key word!!). So glad to have found your blog. I will be back and look forward to poking around when I have more time. The "front porch" features have me intrigued... I always said my dream house could easily be built with just an enormous kitchen, a sunroom, and a generous wraparound porch...with a hammock for me to snooze!! bliss.
have a great day!
Hi BJ.....love your new header and the background is adorable. Ha.
I love clear crystal and have always had a weakness for it. All your picutures are so fabulous.
Love that Liz ring!!!!
Blessed and happy day to you,
Hugs, Barb
oh shiny..... shiny...... I do so love the sparkle..... Actually it was the fabulous My Romantic Home Cindy that add the bobache to my fork chandies first...... dud why didn't I think of that...... but I have since started selling the Grand Fork Chandeliers......it looks grand hanging in your most lovely home....... Thanks for the linky love girlfriend.....
Love Ya,
Linda
I love that flatware, that you promise to tell us about in a future post! Also all your clear pretties. By the way, you'd asked me what I do with my vintage glass jars. (And I couldn't find your email address...) Well, some have marbles and shells and such in them. And one, if you can see it on the table in my banner, has coffee beans in it with a candle in the middle. Smells delightful when lit! Love your house. We have so much in common in what we love to collect (and our color choices)!
Brenda
That's a lot of beautiful clear glass and crystal.
What do you have under your 'cheese' dome??
Cute, whatever it is.
thanks for coming by.
Framing bingo cards a good idea, but they are such a weir size. Hard to find a frame. OOOH! I'm having an idea!!
blessings,
Barbara jean
PS thanks for signing up to follow me. =0))
That chandy is just too cute ! I gotta have one of those ! I love clear stuff too.
I have to tell you- I see those jars that your silverware is in all the time...and always ondered besides a vase, what could I do with the 2 I have in the cupboard already? PERFECT IDEA for spoons for my table for cofee....THANKS so much for sharing...And the fork chandy? I have some of the bobeche saved from a broken light...so I a hopping over to the etsy shop to get me a fork!
Thanks!
Everything is so pretty. I love these kind of pieces too. I especially love your pitcher.
Hope you are having a great day.

Hi bj! CLEARLY you have some great stuff --- I love your Security Rooster; good plan, conk the burglar with a big glass rooster. I'd like to see THAT police report.
I love crystal and glass -- and it goes with everything! Must be why Cinderella loved those heels -- not too comfy, but she could wear them with any color!
If I have to choose a favorite .. I would go for that pitcher. I love pitchers. Or ... one of those brave roosters for when Howard is out of town!
thanks for your kind comments on my salt and pepper post! :-)
Cass
BJ, Thank you for the visit to my blog today. I have been visiting yours for quite awile and I enjoy every visit. It is fun to find others who enjoy the cystal like I do. My grandmothers instilled that appreciation in me. I will be back. I especially like the music.
Sweet tea AND fluer de lis? You're a girl after my own heart!
You have some great things!Thanks for sharing!I love the fork chandy!
Oh your crystal is so beautiful! I love Linda's fork chandies. They are so cute!
And those gorgeous rooster bookends are 2die4!
Oh BJ, your poor dear...how I wish you had a few more crystal clear objects...LOL...then maybe you'd give me a few of yours...
I have surely missed visiting with you since I've been on break. Hey, did you know y'all are only about 8 hours from Suzanne's cabin... compared to our 13...I think it is situated perfectly for sightseeing.
Pike's Peak, Royal Gorge & Cripple Creek...that's where we're meeting up with Jeanne & Bill...I feel sure we'll all hit big jackpots & come back millionaires! See ya later, ;-) Bo
Thanks for sharing all your sparkly treasures, and thanks for coming by and visiting me. I really enjoyed looking around your blog. Looking forward to next week when we can chat again!
Karen
I do too..though I have NONE..so I just collect some fancy glass things..
I got lucky with the hummingbirds..they are good pics.. Smiles, ME
Very pretty BJ!
Love that chandy. ~Gorgeous~ :)
Oooo, love this post bj. that fork chandy is quite interesting - I don't think I've ever seen one but wow aren't they beautiful! :) I like Earl, too! He'll be all over the garden this Sunday! I hope you can come by and participate! :)
Great 2nd time around post BJ. I love the idea of using the blue and white cups in your large cannisters!
Hi Dear BJ! Oh, so many pretty photos! Love the spraklies!
Thank you for telling me about that message! I've just turned on my puter for today and saw that! I've been trying to find out what it's all about and it has something to do with my background! So I just delected my blog dress ;( and that sign went away! I need to find something to put on my blog!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love all the crystal, clear glass bottle, containers, the pitcher, I adore the stand you have the glass on! I just love it all!
Thanks for coming by to visit me often! I had to have a good cry with you! I love to know more about the fork crystals. Not sure I got just what was going on! lol
How pretty! I love crystal, but don't have much because my boys are like bulls in a china shop, lol. You have a beautiful collection and I just love that fork chandelier! I would not have guessed that's what it was.
You know I love the cheese board with the clear domes. I have several that I have painted! I've been putting them on bases though and am really enjoying the way they've turned out.
I want a man that can afford to get me a ring like Elizabeth Taylor's! Just kidding, I'm a simple gal. I'd settle for a 2 carat, lol. (I would settle for a diamond chip if I had a good man! lol)
Kady
Hi BJ,
Sorry to be a little late getting around to everyone.
