I was so happy to see my antique glass fishing floats featured as a collectable in the July/August 2014 issue of Martha Stewart Living. I took a picture to show you my glass buoys on a plate next to the magazine article.
Remember when I blogged about finding them in Leland's Fishtown? Some people call them glass buoys, others say fishing floats, but lately everyone agrees that they are a wonderful way to add a nautical touch to your home.
You can get some of your own by contacting Sporck Tile on the Leelanau Peninsula. They have a large box of them for sale each summer.
I want these! I was walking through Fishtown in Leland when I noticed this open container of aquamarine glass buoys that hold fishing nets afloat. You heard me, aquamarine fishnet floats. They. are. gorgeous.
I thought that taking a photograph would be enough, but now that I am back at the cottage writing about them, I really want them even more. I know that they would look beautiful on display in a bowl in my aqua family room. I think I need to head back to Fishtown...
*Update - I got some and they look beautiful on a plate in my family room.
