E is for Elegant Glass

Elegant Glass, often confused with Depression Glass, is of a much higher quality and was often purchased through high end department and jewelry stores.  It was an alternative to fine china from the 1920's through the 1950's and served as a nice replacement to the cheap imports that would eventually lead to the demise of glassware made in the USA.  Elegant Glass was made by many manufacturers, including:  Cambridge, Fenton, Fostoria , Heisey, Imperial, Mckee, Paden City, Tiffin and Westmoreland Glass Company to name a few.  

Happy Hunting!

Ode to the Month of May

Most of the shadows of life

are caused by 

standing in our own sunshine.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882, American Essayist

Victory

Victory at all costs, 

Victory in spite of all terror

Victory however long and hard 

the road may be;

for without Victory

there is no survival.

-Sir Winston Churchill, 1874-1965, Prime Minister of the U.K.

Victory to all the runners of the 118th Boston Marathon, 

world's oldest continuously held marathon still going strong

and no where

in particular
