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!

  3. 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.

  9. 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!

    1. 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.
      Have a great week!

    1. Hi Glenda. I adore milk glass and have way too many pieces. It was nice to be able to show off a little of it on Mosaic Monday. Had I not discovered PicMonkey, I don't think I would have ever participated in this party. It really was quite fun! I can't wait to get in there and play with the program a little more.

  14. What a lovely collection of milk glass. I must admit I haven't seen a lot of it. I have a few pieces of "depression" glass. thank you so much for visiting my blog today and for your lovely comments. I am glad you enjoyed the tour.

    1. 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.

  19. I LOVE your collection of milk glass. I started collecting it last Christmas. It's fun to look for it at thrift shops and yard sales. The mosaics are both lovely, but I like the contrast of the first one with the black border more. :0)

  24. I like milk glass also. I have a lamp similar to yours but mine has 2 globes that work separately. The bottom one is much dimmer and can be used as a night light. I like the first picture by the way.

    1. Hi Kara,
      Don't you just love the milk glass lamps? Stop by my January blog posts and you will see my entire collection. There is a set of milk glass lamps that a co-worker gave me as a Secret Santa gift. She was a great Secret Santa! I bet your light is lovely with the bottom light used as a night light.

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

Fun Fall Door Decor

I am ready for the heat of summer to be over and the cool breezes of fall to head our way.  My sister called me the other day and said she wanted to pull out her autumn decorations and to that I say "Amen, Sista"! We both can't wait to say, "Happy Fall Ya'll"!! In the meantime, I need to update my fall door decor and have been looking for a few, fresh ideas.  Better Homes and Gardens had some wonderful fall wreath ideas.  I adore this unusual "wreath" made from a rake. Who said a wreath must be round? Etsy and Pinterest have an abundance of wreath ideas including several swags to use on your harvest door. Another cute idea from Better Homes and Gardens. It makes me think of  warm apple crisp topped with a dollop of whipped cream!   Yum!  Or how about those wonderfully apple scented candles?  Love those! Monograms are all the rage.  I think this would be a simple wreath to make.  Raise your hand if you like simple projects! Super cu

Thanksgiving Dinnerware to Grace Any Table

Southern Living recently published an article entitled "Turkey Plate Special" chronicling the origins of certain patterns.  Who knew that when Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, we would end up with beautiful transferware patterns honoring the official bird of Thanksgiving?  I was excited to see my pattern, "His Majesty" by Johnson Brothers in the article.  We lovingly call these our Traveling Turkey Dishes.  Click  here  to find out why! I set our Reading Room   table with His Majesty for a quick peek at this beautiful pattern.  I love my "Traveling Turkey Dishes".  It is a joy to get them out and use them throughout November.  I also love this old table.  It has the scars of a well lived life and reminds me so much of my sweet grandmother who loved it as much as I do. A close up of His Majesty shows the lovely colors of the season.  I don't own the turkey platter, but it is on my wish list! (Replacements) Anot
