| One of my favorite Valentine decorations are these sweet Dreamsicle babies. I have been collecting them for years and usually find them at yard sales for less than $1. |
 |
| Last year I put my display of babies in the bedroom. I try to change things up every year....it makes them seem new to me. So, this year I have them in the hallway. |
 |
| I have my collection of milk glass in these cabinets year round and I just add seasonal items to the existing vignettes. |
Here is how the cabinets looked a few weeks ago decorated for Christmas.
 |
| Now the cabinets are all decked out for Valentines Day. |

 |
| I have repurposed a small crib blanket and it is now a tablecloth for the table on the left side of the hall way.... |
 |
| I bought a "crib in a bag" at a yard sale for a few dollars that contained this blanket, a pillow, and a bumper pad. I don't know what I will use the bumper pad for, but Kyleigh uses this blanket for her baby dolls. ( I borrowed it for my Valentine vignette....shhh don't tell her!) |
 |
| The cabinet at the end of the hallway contains the few pieces of pink milk glass that I have. I filled the bowls with pink heart shaped ornies. |
 |
| And put a sweet Dreamsicle couple on one of the glass shelves. |
Your Dreamsicles look adorable with the milk glass! I received one as a gift from my co-workers in the early 1990's when I left a position at our local library. Mine sits on a shelf in my bathroom. I had to scurry down the hall to see if mine had a heart! No, my angel is clutching an oversized goose! Back then I had a concrete goose by my front door that I dressed in handmade clothing. Do you remember that fad? Thanks for bringing back those memories to me.

You are my Milk Glass Collector Hero. Holy Cow! I Love Love Love you milk Glass collection. I have a small collection in comparison. But Wow. I have maybe 25 pieces. My favorite is Fenton Hobnail. I always loved my grandmas collection. After I got married I started collecting a few big pieces like tidbit trays and pitcher. stuff like that. When she passed I got all her milk glass. Now when ever I feel the need to go antique shopping I look for new pieces to add to my collection and Keys I know those don't go together but that is what I look for. anyway I just love your milk glass collection and I plan to pin some on my Pinterest Milk glass page. I got a new piece last night. My husband was out of town in Virginia and they small town he was in out side of an Army base had antique shops. He picked me up some milk glass. Isn't he the sweeties thing. Thanks for sharing.
