Well, not exactly a glass of milk... I must confess, I'm not much of a milk drinker.
Lately, though, I have found myself attracted to milk glass. I only buy it when I find it for pennies.
I have seen it for 5 or 6 bucks, but I don't touch it at that price.
I gravitate to the pieces I find for 25c, 57c - you know I like a bargain!
Last fall, a young couple from my church were married. They had decorated their reception tables with sweet little vignettes of milk glass, old books and tea cups filled with white candies. It was lovely. Each was different than the others.
Since that time, I've been grabbing it as I find it - as long as it's under a buck.
You see, I have a lovely daughter who's almost 21. Before long, she might just have a need for a sizeable collection of sweet milk glass.
Then again, I just might need some myself! You never know what God has planned...
If I do find myself in such a position, you'll be the third to know!
Word for the Day:
Numbers 13:27
They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit.

Love it! I've been collecting from thrift store for the last few years too. Those little bowls with the open edges are some of my favorites, I've found them in several different sizes. Trying to find enough of the smaller ones to use as ice cream or sherbet cups!
I like your new collection. I haven't thought about collecting milk glass, though, I am familar with it.
Nice thoughts of the future.

You have a nice little collection there, Tamala. I used to pick these pieces up at garage sales.
I love milk glass, too, and it really is charming for special occasions! I have a milk glass punch bowl set...so pretty with lemonade and sliced lemons in the summer, and pink punches for special occasions! Thanks for stopping by my sign re-do post, Revi!
Beautiful, I love milk glass as well! I have some dishes holding q-tips & such in my bathroom. I thought dollars was a good deal til I saw you found pieces for cents!

I keep thinking about buying this stuff also. I love how a group of milk glass looks. I just collect sooo many things already, but buying things under $1 sounds like a plan.
Loved seeing your gorgeous treasures...like you I have a number of pieces of milk glass and just love them...simple and elegant. Thank you for sharing. I am now a follower of your blog and look forward to return visits. I invite you to join me as well on my blog at http://atastefultouch.blogspot.com
Hugs, Gayle.
I love milk glass as well. My collection isn't very large but I do have a few pieces I've picked up from estate sales.
Great post
Really like your milk glass, think it looks beautiful grouped together.
Visiting from Time Travel Thursday. I'm a new follower.
Great idea...you're a smart mama! Me and my mom did the same thing for my wedding (not milk glass, I mean collecting stuff for the decor) and it pays off!
Thank you so much for linking this up to the "Cowgirl Up!" Linky party. I really appreciate your participation.

Best wishes on your lovely collection:)
My grandmother had a dish just like the one in your second photo except her's had a matching lid. She always kept some kind of hard candy in that dish. Makes me think of how much I miss her.
