While watching the first disc of the second season of Mad Men, I got very excited when I saw that scene where Don Draper comes home and pours himself a drink. You know, the scene that happens several times an episode?
"Oh my God!", I exclaimed. "I have those glasses!"
As you can see from this photograph, taken moments ago, mine are the larger size. Which is good, because I can fit more alcohol in them.
My Mom and Dad got married in 1958, and they got a set of these as a wedding present. I have six in this size. I'm sure they had the smaller size as well, but I don't know what became of those. I also found a set of four juice glasses in this pattern (but in silver) at the flea market a couple of months ago.
So, I'll be tuning in on August 16th with a Tom Collins in my "Mad Men" glass. I've got five more. Care to join me?

I see stuff on MM that I recognize from my childhood all the time. There was an episode where Betty wore a (non-matching) sleeveless blouse and shorts combo that looked very much like an outfit my mother wore in that era, esp the blouse (cotton with embroidery on it).

Silkstone, I remember a lot of those clothes as well. And I mentioned on another blog that, back in the early 80's, when "new wave" was coming into fashion, those clothes started to be highly sought after (think B-52's second album cover). You could still find them for really cheap at all the thrift stores. I made some fabulous finds back then!
mamoore and Hells Bells, I'll see you in a couple of weeks for cocktails!
yekdeli and suz, I'll see you there too!
