Milk Glass and a Giveaway...

I love the versatility of milk glass!  There are so many different styles and pieces that it can go with any decor!  I am not really a collector, I just have ended up with some pretty pieces that I enjoy using.  I recently found a punch bowl set in a thrift shop.  I saw a photo in Country Living magazine a few years back of a milk glass punch bowl full of lemonade with lemon slices floating on top (sorry about the photo quality- I've had the clipping in my file for awhile!).  I thought it was so lovely and could imagine it with punches at every holiday or occasion, so was very happy to finally find mine!  I love its swirled design and think it would also be nice as a serving bowl for salads, etc.

  I also have a footed cake plate- I love footed cake plates and DO have a collection of those.   My three little hobnail goblets serve as sweet vases when lined up on a table.  My favorite piece however, is an antique Victorian footed fruit basket!  I love its ornate openwork and basketweave decoration...maybe I am collecting milk glass!
