Daniel Boone and Retro Water Glasses
I’ve been looking for funky retro water glasses and happened on this set in Hillsborough N.C this past weekend (at the “antique mall” in the “Daniel Boone” shopping center next to the Food Lion grocery store that sells more types of sausage then I can list here). I love how the glasses are a riff or meditation on the traditional blue willow china — Thanks to my grandmother, I have a couple of pieces of blue willow china and these glasses will get me to actually use them. Not to mention, the glasses are perfect for vodka tonics on our new balcony in the dog days of August. PS How amazing are the unicorn napkin rings !?! Predictably, T refused to let those into the house.

oh. my. god. i live about 20 minutes away from the daniel boone antique mall. my parents used to own it. i hated it so much when i was a kid. by the way, if you ever find yourself back in hillsborough, go to “fetch vintage” on churton street. way better stuff there:)
