Milk Glass Sign In Table

As any good reader of this blog knows I am absolutely obsessed with milk glass.  It is an obsession which has landed me in a bit of hot water with my usually patient husband.  Let me explain.

I collected milk glass for two years before our wedding.  I collected over 200 pieces of milk glass.  I told you.  I am obsessed.  I used the small milk glass vases I found as our place card holders and arranged them on a table with name cards and simple flowers.  I think we only paid about $50 from our florist for flowers to be placed in each vase and it turned out really pretty.

Now we are getting ready to move and our garage is still filled with wedding decor.  We're talking lanterns and candles and ribbon and milk glass.  More milk glass than I know what to do with.  It was so great to collect only now it just makes me sad to see it sitting in the garage collecting dust.  I think of all the places we scoured and all the people we met in our journey to outfit our wedding with milk glass.

Know someone who loves milk glass or needs it for an upcoming event?  I am definitely ready to sell most of my collection.  If for no other reason than to prevent my adorable husband from going completely over the edge as we get ready to move!  Comment or email if you are interested!

More Milk Glass Love

Every time I think my milk glass collection is finally complete I find something else I am swooning over.

I love these milk glass candle stick holders!

The search is on...

This fun table setting is from the Eddie Ross blog.

Milk Glass Vases Found

Remember how the antique dealer told me it was "impossible" to find the milk glass vases I need? I found 5 today! Now only 12 more to go and I have 85 days...

I also got a really cute milk glass bowl for our candy bar. So much for paying shipping on Ebay!

Tomorrow my goal is to figure out how to run our invitation envelopes through our printer so I can get them in the mail next week. Exciting!

Let the Milk Glass Search Begin

If anyone is looking for me this weekend...I will be antique shopping!

On my shopping list? Milk glass! I still need 18 milk glass bud vases and some bowls and trays for our candy bar.

A local antique dealer told my coworker it would be "impossible" for me to find 18...grrrr...you know I love a challenge!

I am turning into such a bargain shopper and it is so fun. I love finding little deals and antique finds...it is so exciting to have little pieces (or many pieces) of history just sitting there looking pretty.

Thank you to Apartment Therapy for these cute pictures.

Fresh Sign In Book Idea

I love our wedding planner...she is pretty much just amazing. Her fun new idea for a sign in book? My fiance calls it the "yearbook style" and I call it totally fun.

The idea is to find a book of photography or a coffee table book that you love and have people pick a page they like and sign on the page in the margin. What I think is so cool about this idea is then we get a sign in book that we love and that will actually be displayed in our house...instead of just getting put in a drawer with our other "keepsakes." I like the idea of having something usable.

We decided we are going to shop for a fun book about San Diego since that is where we are getting married. We are headed down in three weeks so we will shop for a "souvenier" that doubles as our sign in book.

See the books displayed in this chic living room...love the idea that our book will always be out. Thank you to D Magazine for this living room picture. You know I love the milk glass...further proof that all my milk glass can be displayed in a funky cool way.
