If you, like me, are in your mid–twenties and the dreaded 30th birthday is looming ever closer, you might feel like making your own home and filling it with things you'll use and cherish for years to come, like beautiful and quirky glassware. It may be a different story for you, but at the top of my to-do list is to create a wonderful collection of beautiful glassware. Nothing says, "Look everyone I've got my life together!" like some fancy dishes.
At the moment my glassware collection consists of an assortment of mismatched pint glasses, some standard wine glasses, and a variety of random options in between. I hope to one day host Christmas at my place in the not too distant future, and I have my fingers crossed that by this time we will have fancy, matching glassware, or at the very least a lovely selection of quirky, mismatched-yet-cool glasses. It's comforting to know that whenever I do I have a bunch of people over, I have fun options for serving my friends and family.
Let's raise our (future) glasses and make a toast to all of the amazing glassware that shall be added to our collections in the coming years. To celebrate, here's an array of delightful drinks holders to get your summer off to a sophisticated start.
