Under Glass
Here is a collections of photos I found on line, of objects of beauty, under glass displays. In the past, before I decided to write a blog, I simply collected inspirational images. Often without noting from where they came. As a result, I don't always have the links or credits for these images. I am trying to locate that information, but in the interim, if you know anything about the images, or they are yours, please let me know. Meanwhile, I hope the owners don't mind me borrowing them for this blog.
