I must break Wordless Wednesday silence in order to tell you about this glass bowl. It was GiGi’s and now it’s mine.When my husband’s mom called to say that they were cleaning out GiGi’s house and that if we wanted anything we should come and pick it out, I immediately said that I wanted the blue glass bowl that was in the tv room.

When we arrived at GiGi’s I started looking for my blue glass bowl — which wasn’t in the tv room where I remembered. It turns out it was in the spare bedroom, placed really, really high up on top of a cabinet. My mother-in-law handed it to me and that’s when I realized just how large and awkward my new blue glass bowl actually was.

Here it is on my coffee table, and as you can see it takes up the entire space. It’s so huge that I don’t even have a place for it. And, what is the purpose of those really long glass — what are they even called — tails?

What I need is an impressive entryway to showcase my new blue glass bowl, but I don’t think my husband will go for a new house to put my new blue glass bowl in. My next option is a cabinet, or bookshelf, to  place my blue glass bowl on top of — so much more reasonable. In the meantime, my blue glass bowl is taking up a ridiculous amount of space on our computer desk.
