We have glasses! (Updated)
When my parents visited us back in June, we made them dinner. Everything was lovely, except that we had to serve them drinks in a weird hodgepodge of glasses. The only glasses we received for our wedding were wine glasses. And while the wine glasses that we had chosen were gorgeous, their long stems made them very susceptible to breakage. We started with a set of four, and we have broken three of them. I have a slip somewhere to replace broken glasses at a reduced rate, but given our (okay, my) clutziness, I'm not sure it'd be a wise investment. I think that to have a homogeneous group of wine glasses, I'll have to buy some simple, heavy ones.
Anyhow, when we helped clear out Judson's grandmother's house, we were able to take our pick of her collection of glasses. We took almost all of them. We now have a set of six highballs, eleven 8-oz juice glasses, six nice beer glasses, four old-fashioneds, and a vast collection of various cocktail glasses.
Update! We found a whole box of glasses that we had forgotten about and gained an extra 12 tall glasses and 12 short glasses!
We previously had mugs and a very nice set of eight Waterford "claret" glasses, but while they are very pretty, they are unfortunately not ideal for wine.
So if you come to our house now, you will be served in matching glasses. Unless we have more than 12 people.
Our glasses neatly filed away in our Butler's Pantry.
And the cocktail glasses we don't quite know what to do with.

Since I happen to know you have picked a contractor and ordered your kitchen cabinets for your much needed kitchen renovation I offer this suggestion. Put the cocktail glasses on the top shelf of the Butler's Pantry for now. Soon you will put your coffee mugs and everyday drinking glasses in your new kitchen cabinets. The Butler's Pantry can then be rearranged to show off all of your beautiful glassware. You won't want to keep casserole dishes or orange pumpkins in it once you have a new kitchen! Your BP then becomes the piece it was meant to be...a place to display and have handy beautiful glassware/china cabinet.
You should plan to Blog your kitchen renovation especially with the before pictures!
