Milk Glass Collection – It Started Innocently Enough!

November 9, 2011  Cool Collections | Uncategorized

As you may have gleaned, I have a collecting problem. If one is good, more is definitely better!  This is best illustrated by my milk glass collection in my dining room (I have 5 amazing collections in this room alone)!
It started innocently enough.  My father in-law gave me a plate (on stand on top shelf).  It sat around in my cabinet for years and I would take it out on occasion to serve dessert.  Then one day, I spotted two white vases. “Gee,” I thought, “these would look great filled with flowers on my dining room table”.  It spiraled into what you see in the hutch in my dining room.  The white really pops against the dark wood of the hutch.  Some pieces may even have price tags still Sharpied onto them in my haste to get them into the collection right away!  I keep finding pieces so this collection is always changing.

Join me as I decorate my 100 year old home, scour thrift stores, create pretty things, putter in my peony and hydrangea filled garden, and mix up a mean cocktail all with a touch of sarcasm and a side of bacon - Cheers!
