the world through rose-tinted glasses
May 21, 2009 
When a friend of mine and her fiancé merged their collective stuff, I was lucky enough to inherit these fire-engine red glasses that wouldn’t fit in their cupboards. I knew them already, from a big, rowdy dinner party at my friend’s house, where she served homemade panna cotta to all us sitting around her long wooden dining room table. 
On their first outing in our place, I didn’t provide the lovingly-made panna cotta. Instead – because we were of course scurrying around getting ready at the very last minute – I had a bunch of ranuculas and clipped them to fit inside the glasses. Easy-peasy table decorations, done. And the red sheen of the glass against the pink, pink flowers made for some trippy-beautiful saturated color on the table.

They're great glasses - so many uses. Fabulous colour. Why would she give them away?
I agree with Katie! These glasses are really gorgeous, I can't understand how she could give them away, unless she had some even more wonderful!
And the flower in the center make them even more perfect!
what a lovely thing! Your new "glasses" are fabulous and so versatile! I am just blown away with this tabletop display...so simple and so striking...and aren't ranuculas some of the best flowers around? this totally made my morning. thanks!
Lots of specialists tell that personal loans aid people to live the way they want, just because they can feel free to buy needed stuff. Furthermore, some banks offer short term loan for different classes of people.
