Doesn't this make you smile? It sure does me.
I have two covered candy dishes and don't you love how the sun is shining through the one on the right? See through - like milk!
And...I have two headless candy dishes. They ain't got no lids, y'all! :) But they are not scary at all.
Now this is a large pedestal bowl. It's about 9 or 10 inches across. I love it.
So lovely and see through.I recently found these Grape Leafed candlesticks! Aren't they sweet? My candles are lit just for you too!
So white. So milky. So see through. So loved!
I know I'm going to find lots of ways to decorate with these little lovelies! Do you love milk glass? It can be a really affordable collection to start. The trouble with me is I don't know when to stop because I can always find a piece!! ;)
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)

Stomp Them Grapes
Stomp, stomp them grapes and make that wine
Put it in a bottle, boys, and ship it on down the line
Well, I got up this morning and made it downtown
Started mighty early just makin' my rounds
Well, I had me a woman she left me alone
I got to lose these blues before I take myself back home
So stomp, stomp them grapes and make that wine
Put it in a bottle, boys, and ship it on down the line
I said stomp, stomp them grapes and make that wine
'Cause there's a trouble man in trouble with a woman on his mind
Yesterday she loved me, today it's history
Why she should want to leave me is a deep dark mystery
I may not find the answer but I find me a jug
'Cause I'm gonna do some drinkin', boys, it's really got me fog
So stomp, stomp them grapes and make that wine
Put it in a bottle, boys, and ship it on down the line
I said stomp, stomp them grapes and make that wine

This is the milk glass that I collect. It started with one piece from my mother and over the years has grown to close to 100 pieces. Yard sales, thrift shops, gifted...there are many different ways I have gathered my collection over the years. I love the Grape Leaf pattern milk glass. It can be a simple look or it can be elegant; all on how you display it. Love your collection.
ReplyDeleteSo many choices, so much prettiness! I have some milk glass sitting in a cabinet that's rather dark, so it "pops!"
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend!
My mom has hundreds of pieces of milk glass. She keeps saying someday it will be mine. Yikes! I don't love milk glass as much as her, but there are several pieces that I really love. I especially love the covered hen candy dishes! She even has a full set of dinnerware and stemware. (masteinbrink at msndotcom)
ReplyDeleteShelia, your milk glass looks beautiful with the sun shining through it! You have found gorgeous pieces and have displayed it so nicely. Have a wonderful weekend. ♥
ReplyDeleteYour milk glass is so pretty with the sun shining through it. I have a couple pieces of milk glass but nothing like your beautiful collection.
ReplyDeleteShelia, Those are all beautiful pieces. I love that you have candle sticks to match. You could easily mix your white things with any other colors too. Thank you for showing all of us. Blessings for a fabulous weekend, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of milk glass, Shelia. I think I have some dinner/luncheon plates in that pattern in my stash. I should use them for a Christmas table.
ReplyDeleteI love the large pedestal bowl, gorgeous.
Have a great weekend.
Beautiful on its own. Extra lovely with the golden blooms!
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteThis is the milk glass pattern my Sister bought at my MoMa's cousin's Estate Sale!!!
