Milk Glass Multiples
The thrift store always has some of these vases sitting on the shelf by the front. A single vase is bland, even depressing, but lined up with its cousins, it packs a cheerful punch, and any cutting from the yard, garden, or roadside will look stylish when set out in a line.
These sweet spicy Sarah Van Fleet roses will only last a day or so, but then I'll cut some more from the overflowing bush, or cut fronds of fern, or tiny oak branches.
These footed dishes are another great thrifting find--great not because they are rare and costly, but because I can pick them up for a dollar or two, and set them in a row on my bathroom windowsill to hold pretty supplies. They look beautiful with the sunlight streaming through, and they are practical as well . . .
because you can drape necklaces over them!

I've been picking up milk glass at the thrift store lately, too! What a great idea to put it in the bathroom. I might have to do that.
Now, if I can just find an old schoolhouse to convert, just so I can have windows in the bathroom. ;)
Beautiful. I'm inspired and will take a second look at the glassware section next time I'm at the thrift store.
Milk glass is beautiful and cheap. I have various milk glass items on top of my white microwave for a nice clean but pretty effect. I love the milk glass vases in a row. A great idea.
Lovely! are the Sara Van Fleet roses an easy variety to grow? I'm looking for a rose verity that is causal and will grow in the shade. The SVF roses remind me of the ones you see by the beach on Cape Cod.
Your milk glass collection is beautiful! I'm really drawn to the restful monotone, white-on-white patterns and decorating schemes. Very pretty! And I can't wait till *our* roses are blooming!... :D
Hello! A friend of mine directed me to your site. I also am a Christian woman with 5 children. I homeschool and I love being domestic, just like you. I do not sew, however, and am very impressed with your beautiful work.
I hope to visit your site often, if you don't mind.

Milk glass is so simple and pretty. I have a set of pitcher w/glasses and a matching platter that I really love.
I love those beautiful roses in your vases, too!
Hi Anna;
I'd love to get together and go thrifting. I bet between us, we have a few fun places we could visit!
I am so glad God brought you into my life. You are a highlight!
