Anyone that knows me knows I'm a Goodwill devotee. I'm usually in there twice a week because you just never know what you'll find. Last Monday, there I was, cruising the aisles but not seeing much I had to have. I was just getting ready to leave but decided to check the knick knack aisle again on the way out. Something round and cobalt blue caught my eye. I went over to check it out and discovered it was a cluster of glass grapes like the kind that used to be popular in the 70's. They must be regaining popularity because I'm seeing them everywhere! Anyway, there were two sets and I instantly picked them up and put them in my basket. I had no idea where I would use them and they did not have a price tag so I thought if they were anything above $2.99 a piece, I would walk away without them. I took them up front, pointed out that they were not priced and the cashier said "$1.99." So.... each, or for the pair? "$1.99 for the pair." Cool! So, I scored a pair of glass grape clusters, but still had no idea how I would use them.

Much better than sitting in a bowl like in the 70's eh? Cool!
Laura, we had green grapes attached to some artificial wood looking thing in my mom's 'fancy' living room. She had those ugly things in there way into the 80's. Kind of wish she still had them, too.
Do you remember click-clacks? They were glass balls attached with a string and you popped them into each other. It's a wonder they never shattered and put an eye out!
Do I remember click-clacks?!! I HAD a pair of click-clacks! *but* they weren't glass...they were acrylic and made the coolest sound when they clicked together....good times, good times!
