Ageless Beauty – Decorating With Mercury Glass

I must say that I am completely smitten by the stately beauty of mercury glass. Defined by its imperfect color nuances, rich detail, and vintage character, mercury glass just lends itself to the warmth and sparkle of the holiday season. Knock-offs now abound in mass, but to produce the fragile original art form, glass was blown double-walled and then filled with liquid silver to create the unique mirrored effect. And yes, mercury glass is seasonless, and can be displayed year round in case you were wondering  Purchase smaller pieces in collections (3-5 objects) to create an eye-catching, artful display.

This delectable eye-candy can be found today at almost any home décor or arts & crafts stores. I almost drool when I browse a certain aisle in a certain crafts store; I want to buy everything in the aisle.

Okay, writing this makes me want to get up to go shopping right now!  Wishing you a warm, colorful, and peaceful home this holiday season……
