MY MILK GLASS COLLECTION

I've been collecting milk glass for years...I know...who hasn't? Especially because it was so easy to find at garage or estate sales. Anything milk glass that I could get my hands on I would grab. My mother also had alot from the 60's so I had a descent amount. But then I got a little tired of it because it seemed that every where I looked...milk glass! When I moved into this house four years ago, I never even unpacked any of it. Except for this collection...My Vanity Milk Glass.

Little trinket boxes and dishes. These are Victorian and used to have gold paint on the edges. Sometimes you find dishes with some flowers painted on them also. I don't care too much for the gold on the edges so the more warn off the better for me! But they used to be very ornate.

These aren't as opaque as 60's milk glass, you can see the light right through them. They are very delicate and the detail on the edges are beautiful and I think that is what attracts me to them.

I keep it all in my bedroom. This wall was a perfect size to display some of the trays. Four years and not one of them has fallen off...I'm amazed! I keep a lot of pieces on my dresser also and in the early morning my cat jumps on the dresser to wake us up. Unfortunately, some dishes or boxes have fallen to their deaths while Bailey thinks "that will get them up!"

Just thought I would share another one of my obsessions!
