    I saw this display in a magazine a while back and fell in love with it! I love old glass and with a name like Pinkard I have to love pink so here is my centerpiece...

    I found all of these old, pink glass ornaments at the thrift stores and put them in grandma's salad bowl :D I wish she were here to see it, I think she'd approve :p

    That is truly lovely--you have made such good use of "finds" and of treasured family antiques.

    The beads add just the right amount of "extra pretty" to it.
