I have been eyeing up Mel and Zara's amazing milk glass collections for a while now, but I've never come across any in the op shops. I have seen pieces on-line but am more in love with the idea of coming across a dusty piece while out and about.
I stumbled across my first milk glass item while on holiday. Sitting amongst dozens of bits n bobs. A bit dusty and with some dubious marks. All washed off easily and at $4 I'm really pleased.
I love it and hope to be able to start my own milk glass collection. I'm going to go by the mantra........
"If I collect it, more will come".
I'm going to need a bigger granny cabinet.
Found anything great lately? Pop over and share it with Max.
That is a lovely first find-sure to keep you motivated to collect, they do look great in a group. I never see it in the op-shops either-but i'll keep my eyes peeled for you :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! xo
DeleteMust be the time for milk glass discoveries. I have come across 3 pieces this week that I will be posting about soon. Such fun!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Now that you have one, you will start finding all its' family and friends! I even have a little spare that I am happy to send you, I haven't forgotten that an absolute age ago I promised to send you some vintage sheet FQ's and I also have had some books for your boys squirrelled away. Just a few weeks until they are both at school and I will have some time up my sleeve- can you email me your address ( again) and this time something will actually happen! mel x
ReplyDeleteOh thanks so much Mel xo
DeleteOh gosh a beautiful piece of milk glass to start your collection. May it be the first of many to come.
