Ring-a Ring-a Rainbow

I had been after a set of vintage drinking glasses for a while but not found quite the right thing (at the right price).

A very thoughtful friend of mine bought me this set of rainbow stripe glasses as a small house warming gift when I moved.  She always puts so much thought into her gift giving and these were just perfect for me!  Exactly what I'd been looking for with that colourful retro look and the right size - not too big, not too small  (there are a LOT of small vintage tumblers or shot glasses out there).

If you want a set, UK peeps, you can still get them for a very reasonable price at Tesco.

How have I been away for so long?
I know I still haven't posted the promised pictures of the new place but every time I get the inclination, it's a mess!  However, things have been moving on and we now have a wardrobe!  I'd like to say things are so much better now that I have one but I haven't got around to organising what should go where - a job for this week I believe.

Also, I am so pleased to announce that I have finally purchased some tulip dining chairs!  One of my very first posts (back in February 2009!) was about this chair and soon four of them will be in my home to address the  “ugly, confusing, unrestful world resulting from the slum of legs underneath typical chairs and tables" (source).

Despite a variety of cushion colours to choose from, I've decided to go with the seemingly standard red cushion on white chair.  This will go well with my beloved Woodstock poster and funky Carltonware cruet set as featured in previous posts.
