I have a thing for porcelain, crystal, and art glass. If they are vintage, I like them even better!

Through the years, I’ve had so much fun searching for and collecting an assortment of pretty items.

The Czech Republic, formerly Czechoslovakia (and before that, Bohemia) has been making exceptional glass treasures for generations.

When our younger daughter was in college, she spent a semester in the Czech Republic, and Sir Beads and I went to visit her. What an incredible experience it was! We were especially enchanted with the array of gorgeous crystal in the shops.

I couldn’t resist these little pieces of glass candy we found in Prague.

Since then, it has crossed my mind that visitors to our home might not appreciate “pretend” candy . . .

So for that reason, I’ve been known to make sure that the real thing is in a dish nearby! 😉

Have a very sweet day!
