Glorious Glass – The Committed Collector

I’ve forgotten if it was the year we moved to the Rochester area or the following one when I discovered the local Depression Glass Show & Sale. I’ve also forgotten what the display theme was that year and what I bought.

What I remember, though, is how entering the auditorium was like walking into a wonderland and how the Eisenhart shone with all the sparkling glassware. What I also know is that this weekend’s glass show will be just as magical–because I’ve gotten a sneak peek.

As a member of the Depression Glass Club of Greater Rochester, I was at the RMSC this afternoon setting up my display and checking out the sales booths. Now, I can’t wait to get back tomorrow morning to start adding to my collections (even though I don’t officially collect Depression Glass, you see).

In addition to the thousands of tempting pieces of beautiful glassware are just as many other treasures, for the sale has been expanded to include vintage china and pottery, linens and silverware, buttons, jewelry, books, and other small antiques.

With all that to choose from, I might just be able to find a few new pieces for myself and a few gifts for family and friends. Who needs to wait to dream of sugar plums when the glass show is in town!

I hope to meet you there!
