Unhinged



Yes, I may be a little, shall we say, unhinged when it comes to milk glass.  I have a hard time saying "no."   (See other examples here, here and here.)

 Enough is just never enough.




I came across this little beauty at my favorite thrift store.  I didn't go there to buy anything.  

I swear to God.

I just went to drop off some things from our recent closet clean-out.  But you can't just drop off and not browse.  At least I can't.  So I came home with this little covered dish, and a few accessories for our newly painted master bedroom.   If I can get my act together, I'll show them to you on Friday. 

Happy Wednesday, dear bloggers.  :)

  1. OH MY! You shouldn't have! :) Mary, it is lovely! I would have grabbed it up too. I NEVER go into those stores to BUY anything. I always go to ...just look. ~smile~ You know..brouse a bit..
    I cannot believe I stopped looking for Milk glass. Then one day..I saw your beautiful collection..on a sideboard, I think. The light on the glass..it looked pure and beautifully simple..and I was hooked once again!
    You have a happy Wednesday too!

  4. You are starting to have a profound effect upon me, Mary. I never enjoyed transferware until... And I never enjoyed milk glass until... Recently, I found all the milk glass pieces that my mother packed away and have now got my dibs in just in case she's "over it."

    Milk glass-can be dressed up on a table or dressed down but always classy! Love the toile you are choosing for the bedroom, toile just makes me weak and I have it nowhere in the house...maybe when I redo the kitchen...
    I am on vacation in SC and stole away to the Starbucks with my laptop while everyone is stil asleep to catch up on blogging, I missed it so much! Can't wait to see the big reveal!

  6. Oh my goodness, I have that same piece minus the lid. I found it at a thrift store and even though it was missing a piece, I bought it anyway. It's so nice to see what the top looks like, I need to search for it now. Enjoy your new find.

  12. I worked in a candy shop in high school and college and when I got married the owners of the store gave me a wonderful covered pedestal milk glass candy dish much like the one you show. Unfortunately my son at the age of 2 broke it and I have been looking for one like it ever since. I'll keep hunting because the hunting is the fun part isn't it. Have a great Easter.
