All that remains of his own work is a glass horse. Being a romantic I say his breath remains. My mother-in-law loved all manner of glass. She said in was in her genes. Is it the magpie in us that loves light on glass or something even more primitive?

She has such a fantastic eye--and I always see pieces at her jam-packed shop that I've never seen anywhere, including in Paris (jewels) or Venice (glass).<br />It is definitely time to take another look at fine Venetian glass. For a few years, when mid-century modern was raging, it looked a little fussy. Now that we want a more eclectic and nuanced feeling for interiors it looks just the ticket. While Venetian glass has always held its prices, I think it can be found for a bargain.<br />Good and ultra-fine vintage jewelry of course is the rage-but Susie has both the witty and costumy pieces--and the superfine Chanel and Ciner that just look rich and compelling and authoritative.<br />Watch for next week: I have a fantastic blog coming up. You'll love it.Diane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-82067830449915466982009-08-01T14:06:48.372-07:002009-08-01T14:06:48.372-07:00Both the costume jewelry and the glass appeals.
