What I Want Wednesday- Mercury Glass!

Oh how I love thee!! Mercury Glass has been an obsession of mine for a few years now. It started when I was working on a design project and I was in Chicago. There is this amazing store there (wonder if it is still there!) called Material Possessions. They had the most beautiful collection of mercury glass items- candles sticks, platters, bowls, picture frames. I was so in love! I was only able to buy a few pieces as I was worried about them breaking on the airplane on the way home. But ever since I have now been on the hunt to build my collection. They are so pretty as a collection on an entry table or just sprinkled throughout the house! So here are a few great places to get some of these gorgeous pieces.
