A new collection ...

This is for The Charm House blog who is hosting a Tour of Collections today.

I love white so I've been gradually picking up milk glass these days. Its inexpensive and easy to find. Like most collections, I think individual pieces look so sad when they're all alone among random things in thrift stores, but as a group, I love how it looks as if its found its family. Here are some of mine.

    I've started a milk glass collection too. I've started liking white things and see my house turning from "earth tones" to a soft blue and white theme. I enjoyed your pictures.

    I started collecting the milk glass for two pink, black and white bridal showers that I am hosting for both of my niece's. In the process I have fell in love with it! I have learned to be careful of what you purchase on Ebay, sometimes the good deals are not really milk glass when it says it is. Learning fast!!!
    Thanks for being a part of my tour!!

    I have cheap white pottery on top of my cabinets and love it - I use it all the time!

    Thank you all for the comments!

    To "The Charm House":
    I know that not all that I buy will be genuine, but I'm okay with that. I think if I worried about what was Fenton or Westmoreland, it would take some of the fun out of my treasure hunts.

    I'm a milk glass fanatic -- LOVE it! Yours is beautiful. Have you tried putting tea lights in the smaller pieces? they glow at night... :)

    Your milk glass pieces are lovely. I also collect milk glass and wrote about it in a couple posts. Here is one of them: http://oakrisecottage.blogspot.com/2008/09/friday-show-and-tell-milk-glass.html
