It is
Christmas Time, let's have some fun with vintage gift giving. One of
my favorite "go to" gifts is candy in a vintage glass dish.
It seems so much nicer than just a dish, or just candy. The two
together
seem like a party.
seem like a party.
Sometimes
you luck out with one that is specific for your occasion. I found
the perfect little glass candy tray for a gal who loves
vintage decor.
It makes
much more sense, and is more fun, to find vintage dish or item to hold
candy and other gifts, like cookies, or pens, than to grab
something
cheap.
There
are a plethora of these clear inexpensive vintage glass dishes. It
is no wonder they were (and are still) so popular, because they just
make everything a bit better.
It does
not have to be a candy dish either. I acquired a passle of Anchor
Hocking Ruby Cups, that would make lovely little gifts filled with
candy for teachers. They are easy and decorative when tied up in a
small cellophane bag with a fetching bow.
We have
a family member who collects glassware, and loves Hershey Kisses. It
does not get any easier than this.
Most
folks do not use celery dishes any more. Did they ever? What we do
need though, is something to corral pens and pencils. Using a
vintage or antique celery or pickle dish is a classier option than
a pencil tray you can find at an office supply store. Here is a gift the
insurance office secretary could really use and enjoy.
This porcelain Vintage Christmas Tree Dish by George Good is being included here with the vintage glass dishes,
because it is shows just how perfect they are for gift
giving.
I like
it so much, that I am tempted to give it to myself.
It has
been fun sharing some fun ways to use candy and vintage dishes for
gift giving. If you find the perfect piece with the Etsy Vintage
Team and use it be sure to share it with us. You can never have too
much inspiration.
Thank
you for joining me. My name is Mary, and I run Mary Wald's Place, an
