Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

I love having touches of turquoise/aqua around the house.   A vignette on a table in the family room This cloche covers a taper holder in the shape of a tulip.   I'll bet that the men who worked with these insulators never imagined that we would collect them, let alone, DECORATE with them.  This one is special because my late father-in-law who was an electrician for the city where they lived, actually brought this one home.  I seriously doubt he would believe that it is considered a treasure to us.  It made a great door stop for many years.

I like the look.
