A beautiful Bubble Rider sits on our fireplace between two ornate wine glasses. The delicate fairy was a gift from a friend. The glasses, a gift my my step-son and his family. I love how delicate they are. The antithesis of yours truly. I’ve never been one for frills and fancy, but there is something about these pieces of glass that are me. I wanted to collect more Bubble Riders, but I can’t find another that holds a candle to this one. She makes me feels nostalgic and I’m big on remembering days gone by. I don’t live in the past, but I think of it often, and fondly.

Dear Bliary 
She’s lovely! The past is what has shaped me..all of the lessons learned. I don’t dwell either but do reflect.. We are going to the potluck for search and rescue this evening. I look forward to not having food oriented obligations so I can get going with my healthy regime…Have a wonderful evening..
Thanks, Roberta. Good luck with search and rescue, AND healthy regimes. I am struggling with finding a way to keep carbs off the middle. UGH!
Those glasses are beautiful. I would love to drink from them. But that girl can have her bubble; I’d be too afraid it would burst.
Haha. She’s light and delicate ;-).
I’ve actually never had them up to my lips. I think they’re too pretty to soil.
You have to drink from them at least once.
Now that I think about it, why not?!?!
Consider it done 😉
Next time you (and one other) have something to celebrate…
Very whimsical choice for glass. I think I’d drink orange juice out of those glasses every morning, and fill them with soda on pizza night. That’s what glasses are for!! The bubble girl looks like she’d fit right in at the Miss America Pageant on TV right now! She’d be all, “I like strapless tops, riding bubbles, and shredded capris. I’m BubbleGirl, Miss New Jersey!” Definitely.
Whimsical. That’s me. Ha!
I’m with you on the glasses. After some thought, that’s exactly what I, ah , thought ;-). The drinking out of them part. Not the juice and soda part :-D.
Beautiful glasses, I agree with Trishworth, every thing should be used, wine, or any thing, would taste so much better in such beauty…
You are absolutely right, both of you. I’m on it. Cheers 🙂
That’s good, enjoy 🙂
I am all thumbs myself. She is beautiful and the glasses very ornate. Both soft despite their hardness. Love these pieces.
I know, right. Hard but not. She reminds me of me, 40 years ago. Ha! 😉
Love the stems on the glasses – and the bubble rider does look so delicate – all lovely, Gemma!
Thanks, RT. She’s holding a butterfly. It makes me think of fleeting moments of hope and peace. The fun part is she will never let go of it. 🙂
Another beautiful post. You’ve done it again! Already.
Sometimes I get off my duff and get on a roll. Other times…
😉
those are some nice glasses and you should just go ahead and drink some wine out of them thats what they are for
I’ll stop being a knucklehead and I’ll go ahead and fill ’em! Thanks for the gorgeous glasses. 🙂
What a whimsical still-life you have there! Gorgeous collection!
I like whimsical ;-). Thanks, Jen.
Yes, you did create a whimsical still-life! I would drink wine out of the exquisite glasses often – too beautiful not to be used. Lucky you! Enjoy!
I’m starting to see a pattern here. I better drink up! 🙂
She looks very magical 🙂
Of course! She’s a fairy. I do believe. 🙂
What a gorgeous set of glasses!
Aren’t they?! What a special gift. 🙂
She is really gorgeous, Gemma. Love your entry for the theme. 🙂
She’s precious and delicate and magical. 🙂
