Collections: Milk Glass

So I like to collect things. For the most part my collections are rather small. Instead of investing time in just one collection, I have like 20+ scattered around my apartment. I started to archive them.

I really got obsessed with milk glass for a bit. I think I saw a picture where this woman had a huge milk glass collection and displayed them on a built-in that had a painted backdrop. It looked beautiful. I found a couple pieces here and there and then ovidovi's aunt discovered I liked milk glass and passed me on like 90% of my collection. Since we haven't painted our walls and likely never will, I'm at loss with how to display the pieces I have. They are kinda scattered throughout.

These are all pieces that ovidovi's aunt passed on to me. I love the milk glass with the dots, those are my favorite pieces.



Pedestals.



I still have a couple more pieces of milk glass to archive, but you get the idea. Milk glass rules because you can always find it in thrift stores because no one likes it. True, they look like grandma pieces but they are so pretty when they are illuminated and awesome if you display them in front of a painted wall. One day...

i love it! you should try to find a light box to display them on... or, maybe you could put some glass shelves across your front windows (up at the top)...
