So we've been discussing getting new everyday glassware for some time. Margie's not been fond of the big-wide glasses we've had, and I've not liked the big-tall ones,

I've had my eye set for a long time on the Libbey Inverness glasses. You see them in restaurants a fair amount, heavy glass with a pentagonal bottom. Margie's been mixed on them, but she finally offered that she had no real objections to them, after we saw them at the local Pier One store.

So today, amidst various peregrinations, we stopped by and cleaned them out of their supply (i.e., bought ten of the Tumblers, plus ten of the Old Fashioned size). So now we can actually set a table with consistent glassware without pulling out the crystal, which will be nice. And they fit in the dishwasher well, too. Plus, as they are food service glasses, they're designed to be tough and break-resistant.

Of course, it's tough to get out of Pier One with only what you went in for. Which is why we ended up with some replacement lanterns for out front for parties and so forth, as well as some additional ideas of ways to spend our money.

Not a cheap afternoon, but a productive one.
