McDermitt Crystal and some things around the House

Today I found a box in the garage labeled McDermitt Crystal. I had forgotten all about this box of crystal. The crystal in this box was John's grandmother's crystal glass. They have thistles etched into the glass and they are so elegant. Here are some pictures of the glasses:

This crystal goblet is squat and has a long stem. They just don't make crystal like this anymore.

This one is more like a water or wine glass, very elegant.

You can see in this closeup the thistle that is etched on these glasses. Just beautiful!

I also found this handblown blue glass vase John and I bought on a trip to Rockport, ME. We have had it for years but we never were able to hang it up because it needed just the right window. The colors have always fascinated us-it is just spectacular when the light hits it!

One of my most favorite daylilies opened today. It is creamy pale apricot color with a purple center.

John and I pretty much have the house all put together except for repainting our bedroom. We were going to do that today but we decided to actually relax a little. We took a drive and then came home, had dinner and now we are watching a movie. I just love the weekend! Hope everyone is spending their weekend doing something fun!
