New collections.
The problem with collections is that there’s never anywhere to put them. The problem with large coffee tables is that they look so awfully awkward and empty. But together? Oh baby.
This is my small milkglass collection (with some fake milkglass mixed in). And I think it looks lovely on my big coffee table. Milkglass pedestal dishes are the easiest things to find at thrift stores, so I’ll be on the look out for some new pieces to add to the table. But- I must remember to leave enough room for a laptop and cup of coffee!
Any pretty collections you’ve been keeping in hiding?
Hi Mandi! I really love your style! I have been collecting milk glass dishes for a while now, and I love seeing yours all together like that. I live in Utah and have about 5 pieces so far.
Let me guess, the fake one is the tall big one. I almost bought two like that yesterday, but I changed my mind. What a great collection you have!
my sis wants to start a milkglass collection. so far, she collects vintage hats and cameos. i collect suns (they’re all in my kitchen) and cool coffee mugs. the coffee mugs aren’t on display–they’re in the cabinets. i’d love to have a cool open-shelving system where i could display them, though!
i love your idea of the milkglass on the coffee table. :)
i have every single one of those!! ;) xoxo
I love my milk glass collection! Looks like we have some of the same pieces. I keep most of mine out on my kitchen bar area…they make me happy!
yeah, I have the same collection. In fact I have like four of those vases ;)
hilarious.
love me some vintage milkglass.
You know I LOVE ME some milkglass!!! I have a few of those pieces! Can’t wait to grab them in Phila next month and thake them back to Mexico. Think we may do a day trip somewhere-how ’bout York???
Go milkglass shopping?
Miss you!
I love milkglass! Your collection is so pretty displayed like that. Thanks for the inspiration.
soooooo pretty! :)
I collect mermaids and fireking jadeite. Bother have a happy place in my room for now but I am looking forward to a time when I can spread them out into an apartment!
your milkglass looks so lovely together on your table! i looove milkglass & am excited to see that other people do too. i have some trays & pedestal pieces but mostly vases. I have about 14 total short and tall vases hah.
Very pretty. I don’t collect much of anything. Will have to think about it. :)
I think you should periodically fill them with colorful items, random items. But maybe all the same color.
