"Someone Posted Their Color-Coded Fiesta Shelves. And It Inspired Me To Post My Rainbow Depression Glass Shelves. I've Collected These Pieces From Various Thrift Shops, Antique Stores, And Yard Sales Over The Years. Some Are True Depression Glass From The 30s And Some Are Mid-Century. It Makes Me Happy Every Time I Look At This Bookcase
