Why I Oughta...

Another day, another dahlia cut flower arrangement.  The usual suspects:  Melina Fleur, Wizard of Oz, Avanetti, Mystery Fox.  Along with some Autumn Fern fronds, Garden Ghost Artemesia and a Lucky Charm Anemone stem.  All tucked into a white Milk Glass vase.  This one was put together very quickly and sent out the door to Nat's good friend for her birthday.  

I stopped at a few estate sales on Saturday and at one of them, I had to call Nat to bring her out to check out all the milk glass.  These five pieces were just a small fraction of what they had, and while we came away with a few new pieces, none of them are pictured here.  I tried to get Nat to take this two piece butter dish that has the hobnail pattern on it.  But...she passed.  Of the pieces she did pick out, most of them were of pretty unique form factors.  Most, we had not found before.

While up in Michigan, we stopped in a bunch of yard sales.  At one of them, we came home with these two Westmoreland Milkglass candlesticks and the little bowl in the middle.  All for $2.00.   They're currently up on our mantle, but I know that while Nat adores milkglass, she isn't that into clutter.  I think these guys might have to get packed up saved for when/if we ever have a bigger house...
