I think milk glass looks fabulous grouped together, as with any other collection. It's unique and quite pretty.
What are you obsessing about lately?

very sweet cake plate!
ReplyDeleteI've always liked milk glass. The blue trinket box is darling. Funny as it may seem, I am obsessing about lima beans lately. I can't stop eating them...
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe it when I saw your post--I have been collecting milk glass like crazy the past few months. It's so pretty and affordable and looks fabulous grouped together with other pieces too.

Callie,
ReplyDeleteThat glass is a nice object to start a collection of it! I love it, especially the white specimen!

I just love white milk glass. I have a few white milk glass brooches and I'm hoping to use them to decorate a little Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Makes me want to own one of these!
ReplyDeleteI adore white milkglass - I inherited a bunch when my great great aunt passed away a few years ago and have been a fan ever since. You have a collection of great pieces, here.
ReplyDeleteI must say I LOVE your turquoise milk glass you've posted. I have a ton of white milk glass...and have never seen the turquoise. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAs for my friend, Fred...he has his ups and downs. He pee-pees 24/7. He wants to go outside to go "potty", then he drinks water outside, only to pee in the house. Other than that, he's getting on Lucy girls nerves. Sometimes she can handle him, while other times he terrorizes her. He looks like one of those monkeys in the circus that rides the animals. I'm tempted to get him a hat, and outfit and take his pic like that! lol One cute thing he does, is whenever I'm sitting on the couch or chair, he has to get up with me. He has to be right next to me or on my lap. I felt bad tonight, I was editing a bunch of pics, so he could only sit next to me. Even though he's a brat, I wish he'd stay small a little longer. His eyes have already gone to green...he's a big boy now. :(
How are you feeling? Hope you're feeling better!!!
