Just a quick post to say happy weekend to everyone. It was a good though hectic week here. One of the highlights was seeing my parents. They recently moved permanently to our area and just bought a house not too far away--45 minutes to be exact. We are an extremely tight-knit family, so I'm over-the-moon to finally have them so near. Their last address was in Texas!
When I was at their new home, I spied some of my grandmother's glass bakeware tucked away up high in their kitchen cupboards. And since my mom isn't much of a baker, guess who took some pieces home?
Here are some buffet plates shaped like apples. I freaked when I saw them. So perfect for fall! And I don't even care that I don't have the matching teacups (see the little spot to hold your cup? So, so sweet.) I think they are darling and will break them out the next time I host something. Anything.
And this lovely faceted, covered glass dish. I'm not exactly sure if it's a baking dish, serving dish, or both. Or maybe it's for a big vat of butter? Unclear. It's slightly smaller than a bread pan, but I suppose it would be the perfect size for a teacake. I'm a little nervous to bake in it though. It seems awfully delicate. I think it'll be the perfect home for our fresh baked treats--the ones that get gobbled up in a day flat so there's no real need for air tightness. I love it so much.
And last are just a few of her glass pie plates. My grandmother was a terrific baker and taught me to bake my first pie. It will mean a lot to me to use her plates.
I hope you find some things to treasure as well this weekend. Happy Friday!
