Sometimes, things come in groups. I don't just mean groups from the same store, but maybe every where you go you find a certain thing - like milk glass.
The piece above is a special wedding piece used to serve the bride and groom's cake. Apparently the lid can be used to elevate the base...or something.
I just thought it was an amazing piece of milk glass, so I paid more than I usually pay for things in thrift stores - $8. At this point, I'm keeping it. I love the pattern on this piece - it is a quilt pattern.
I think this piece once had a lid, but it works just fine for me without the lid.
The piece below is listed for sale in my Etsy shop. It is a lovely piece from the 1950s, but the scalloped shape does not work in my home as well as the simpler square shapes. I also have a thing for footed pieces lately...
Audrey from Timeless Treasures is back again, with a very clever project!
No, she didn't find this cloche in a Paris flea market - she repurposed it - can you guess how it started?
Kathy at Sharing Shadymont has brought some lovely color into her entry way, using a pretty vintage tablecloth. It looks great with the verdigris candlestick.
Speaking of tablecloths - Abby from Abby's Way sewed a lovely ruffled tablecloth from fabric found in a thrift store - and she embraces the wrinkles! I agree, they lend a casual feel to her pretty spring table vignette.

Word for the Day:
Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
