Thrifty Thurs. - Milk Glass


I had no idea back in February when I bought my first milk glass dish, that it would be the start to a great collection. I have loved finding pieces here and there as I go.





Hobnail milk glass might be my favorite type. There is just something about those little bumps..."the humps, the humps, those lovely lady lumps". ;)

I am pretty sure that the skinny tall vases are not real milk glass. I mostly bought them because I love hobnail. The light just doesn't shine through them like it does with the rest. Tall skinny milk glass vases are probably the easiest milk glass to find.



Here is my collection all together. Pretty huh?

I'd love to know, do you collect anything?

ps. Remember I am a collector...not a hoarder. ;)

I started a milk glass collection over the summer when I decorated for my brother's wedding and wanted to use milk glass vases for all of the flowers. It's a fantastic choice to collect, in my opinion. I'm also loving my small (only 5 pieces) collection of blue glass canning jars. Love your thrifty Thursdays, Kami!

I would say you're borderline. :) hahah!

I collect snowflake stuff... and I can only enjoy it for a couple of months per year!

(Am I a hoarder if I have a different pair of snowflake pajamas for every day of the week?)

You are totally not a hoarder...you can stop any time you want!

So pretty. I used to collect argyle socks.

i don't think you're a hoarder until you have multiple rooms dedicated to storing your collection! I think you're okay...for now! :-)

it is gorgeous though!!!

What a collection you have there!
I started a collection of vintage cameras a while back...but haven't gotten very far with it (I have five total).

I think I want to start a new collection...milk glass! I could fill all sorts of shelves with beauties like the ones you have gathered.

Where do you keep yours?

I just collect sarcastic remarks and dirty laundry. Your collection is much more lovely than mine. ;-)
