milk glass

I went on a bit of a binge recently.  It wasn't pretty.  I discovered a few pieces of milk glass at a local thrift store and then spent the next 4 days searching for it, everywhere.  I dragged my poor children around, bribing my 3 year old with a "goody bag" of used matchbox cars at each stop along the way.  I even got my husband into the hunt by having him drive me into every hood in Seattle so I could "just pop in" without having to find parking and get the kids out of the car.  As scary as this little lapse in control was, I found so many pretty pieces.  One is a large oval footed bowl with a "harvest" motif and scalloped edge.  Love.  I went a little wild with the tulips and narcissus, so you can't quite see the bowl.  But believe me, it's pretty fab.
