Yard Sale Milk Glass

I have been searching for a milk glass punch bowl FOREVER and I finally found one! (in my price range...lol.....that's been the hold up all along).    Don't pay any attention to that mound of fabric in the chair over there.....I've been working on  rag garlands all last week      Anyway,  back to my punch bowl.....


I went to a yard/estate sale Saturday where two lovely ladies were selling what was left of their mothers things,    Their mother had amassed quite a collection of milk glass....about two rooms full.   The bowl and pedestal are two separate pieces and there were 11 matching cups.
I was glad to pay the $40 they were asking for it.
I also bought this gorgeous milk glass canister set from them.....

$20 for the set of three.
 
I stopped by on of my favorite antique shops and one of the venders was going out of business.   Everything in the booth was 75% off  and I got this pretty pink rose plate for  $4.

I loved this little Bless Your Heart book....a thought for every day of the year.
I knew the lady that was  having this yard sale,  and she was sweet enough to let me have both the ceramic carrot cake and needle point piece for $5.    She (like the milk glass ladies) was also selling what was left of her husband's parents estate.
I'm  sucker for a pretty pink apron.....
and I couldn't pass this one up for $3.75.

I made a stop by HL on the way home to check out their 80% off isle,   and found these two Flea Market signs for $8 each.   I really think they were originally WAY over priced at $40 each,  but $8 seemed more like what I wanted to pay.
We enjoyed some much needed rain on Saturday!   I took these photos on the way over to our daughters home about 8:00 PM,  she lives about 2 miles away.   We had a beautiful rainbow in the sky and I thought the cloud formations were photo worthy!   I hope you enjoyed your Saturday as much as H and I did ours!

  3. Oh my, you have shown me some Milk Glass pieces that I did not know existed. I have been collecting Milk Glass with the Grape Pattern for years. I just recently picked up two tea cups at a Thrift Store; and I have been searching for two saucers to go with them. You did so well with your treasures. Enjoyed seeing the Rainbow too. Enjoy your goodies.

  4. How awesome you found the punch bowl with the cups. I have the punch bowl but no cups. Have been looking for them but so far no luck. I hope to find a canister set too..........Nice finds

  11. Wow! You did well on your milk glass ... and that punch bowl is beautiful. I've never seen the canisters ... they are fantastic. Thanks for posting.

    ReplyDelete
  12. WOW! The mother-lode of milk glass. I found me a sugar and creamer set from our yardsale next door, for only $1!! Isn't it fun to find these in our price range. I adore your punch bowl and the canisters. I hope I have your good fortune next time!! -Bev

  13. Beautiful! I love milk glass too and have quite a few pieces in my home.

  14. Congratulations on finally finding the beautiful milk glass punch bowl you've wanted for so long! Your patience and persistence paid off!!!

    I saw that same Flea Market sign at Hobby Lobby and thought the very same thing! I think they intentionally have everything marked at an outrageous price so they can pat themselves on the back and call it a "sale." Grrrrrr!!!!

    Glad you got the rain you needed! We got some more last night and today, and it saved me from having to go out and water my flower pots. Hooray!!! Have a happy week!

  18. That punch bowl and canister set are just plain gorgeous! I'm so glad you finally found exactly what you wanted. Those days are like diamonds, aren't they? We still have not been out shopping around like we usually do. PH has not been up to par...so maybe this weekend. I'm hoping. HOW I love treasure hunts!
    Hugs,
    Mona

  19. You found some great treasures…they all are great especially the milk glass punch bowl set…

    ReplyDelete
  20. Penny, the punch set is an awesome find! I have a platter, 4 plates, saucers, and goblets that match your canisters. I bought them years ago from my older sis. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
    Jann

  21. Penny,
    Love all your new goodies!! I have a milk glass punch with a pedestal too but I don't even want to tell you how little i paid for it..... $5.00 at a church flea market several years ago!! The cannister set is stunning!! Glad that you got some rain...

    Thanks goodness we did not get all the rain that western Pa. got and they have been mentioning on all the national news but we did get about an inch over 2 days. It has been very hot and humid here. i am NOT a hot weather lover!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

  22. These are beautiful. It's funny that you apologize for the mound of fabric... in some ways it really adds some more color to the picture.
    This helped me feel good. I just got a set of pretty white glass dishes from a thrift store--a set of 30 dishes for $20 and I'm so excited. Your pieces look really nice and I'm glad you found great bargains too.
    I always feel even better about myself when I get used things. I think about how much good stuff gets made and thrown away, I'm glad to get used and not add to our planet's waste.

    ReplyDelete
  23. What awesome finds! My mom has been wanting a milk glass punch bowl too. They are hard to find!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm falling in love with those canisters, Penny. Punch bowl is pretty, too. The rose plate is breathtaking. All great finds, really. How fun! ~ Nancy

    ReplyDelete
  25. beautiful punch bowl. I had to laugh when I read the line 'Pay no attention to the fabric.." I have taken a picture, looked at it, and noticed some random bit of reality sticking out like a sore thumb in the back ground of the picture...not that that that is happening here - your random bits of reality look nice. My random bits of reality usually involve a cat grooming itself in an indelicate manner or a pile of laundry on the ironing board. Anyway Happy Pink Saturday!

  26. As always....... such lovely photos!
    Thanks for sharing.

  27. Beautiful! Pinned. Thanks again for being a part of our party. I hope to see you tonight. Lou Lou Girls

  28. Wow! Wonderful finds - My daughter loves Milk Glass - I'll have to share this with her! I will be featuring your post in this week's Home and Garden Thursday,

  29. Nice finds, Penny! Love that punch bowl...if $40 was a good price, I wonder what others you have seen might cost...Thanks for sharing at Revisionary Life Thrifty Life Thursday!
