Mosaic Monday: For the Love of Milk Glass

I have always wanted to participate in the Mosaic Monday blog party at The Little Red House; however, I must admit that I do not always take the time to learn various techniques.  So here is my first attempt!  I promise I will get better! Thanks to Foto Flexer and Pic Monkey for the help!
Here is another one I did.  Can't decide which one I like better, but I had fun playing!

    You can have a lot of fun making collages with picmonkey. There are so many mix and match options. There is even a help function to explain 'how to' stuff. Enjoy.

    Good first collage of your milk glass collection.

    Welcome to the party! It's a fun one with lots of kind folks who enjoy visiting. Milk glass...ohhhhh...my mother had a small collection and gave it all to a dear friend of hers. I may or may not have forgiven her. ☺

    For a first timer, you sure did a fine job with the mosaics. I shudder looking at my first-time mosaic. Thank you for following and now I'm following you!

      Good Morning Vee! The one thing good about milk glass is that it is fairly inexpensive (why I began collecting in the first place) so you will just need to start your own little collection! Thank you for the nice compliment regarding my first mosaics and also for following me at Still Woods.

      Hi Jill! So there is not much milk glass Downunder? We have an abundance of it in the States. I first began collecting it because it was inexpensive and I just love the look of milk glass. It is extremely versatile. I use it to serve food, as a base for flower arrangements, as pen and pencil containers, to store items in my pantry, etc. My pieces have been borrowed for vintage weddings and most recently for a "afternoon tea" retirement reception. I am getting a late start this morning, but have my first cup of coffee and am about to head over to your place to check out more of your beautiful photography! Thanks for visiting and come back soon. I would be honored to have you follow my little blog.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces, I found out that Memory Lane is consi

Quarantine Reno: The Butler's Pantry/Laundry Room

Good morning everyone! I wanted to share with you a major renovation which Mr. Still Woods and I accomplished during the quarantine. I have been feeling a huge push to simplify not only my life, but our home as well.  I started with reorganizing room by room and donating items we no longer use. After that was accomplished, I began thinking. My husband says that my thinking is always dangerous and usually means a lot of work for him! So let me tell you how this all started.  I have a large pantry in the kitchen with pull out drawers and deep shelves. While it holds tons of pantry items, I was always complaining because items tend to meander to the back of the shelves. When you need a flashlight to see what's in your pantry, you know its too large.  So I decided that I wanted to relocate our pantry into a free standing, shallow unit.  We sat down and drew up a plan we were both happy with.  As with most plans, our plan got altered along the way.  What was to have been a complete new

Keeping Christmas in My Heart

Unlike Ebenezer Scrooge, I love everything about Christmas! The baking, the sappy-sweet Christmas movies, the twinkling lights, the glittering tree, packages wrapped with love and care, our Christmas Village, red bows, and especially the nativity. It's all so beautiful! I find it a special treasure to sit with a warm cup of coffee, in the early morning hours before the house has awakened, and just soak it all in as I sip my coffee. It also gives me time to do some mental planning...what do I plan to do different next year... what were my favorite moments of this season... what do I want to purchase during the online after Christmas sales... what new recipe do I want to try next year? But I mostly sit and daydream while enjoying the wonder in all that is Christmas. We typically leave most of our Christmas up until Three Kings Day. We are blessed to have our boys home until after New Years and the temptation is strong to use their muscles to help us haul all our Christmas boxes to th
