The Early Bird!
Hi everyone! I'm joining some old friends and a new (to me) meme this week. The new meme is Weekly Words to Live By, I've always been drawn to inspirational sayings and have quite a few "words" scattered around the house.
I love milk glass and found this fun pitcher at the Salvation Army as soon as it opened this morning. It's in perfect condition and was $3.99!
The pitcher holds over seven cups and will be used for iced tea on Sundays when my family comes to dinner!

Sending a sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm. It was so nice to see that you had stopped by my blog and left a comment!! Your milk glass is so pretty - I have a few pieces too and just love them. Everything looks good on/in milk glass if you ask me - especially things with lots of color. Congrats on a great find!! Ciao, bella!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I like inspirational quotes as well. Thanks for sharing! La
ReplyDeleteNow I don't know about you, but I've found that you have to hustle to claim the wonderful deals at the Salvation Army like your wonderful milk glass pitcher! Thanks for your kind comments on my post. Cherry Kay

I love milk glass too. great find.
ReplyDeleteThe link parties look fun, I should start joining. : )
Have a great week.
Thanks for coming by for a visit! My daughter likes milk glass and I found a pitcher similar to yours for her. Her small apartment means I get to enjoy it at my home, though. I must remind myself it belongs to her! ♥♫
ReplyDeleteYea! Glad you were the one to find this treasure. My mother had a nice collection of milk glass and now one of my nieces has it. I'm glad she wanted it, and that the grandchildren allowed the collection to stay together. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI don't have any but it sure is popular. Bring on the ice tea.
ReplyDeleteIt is a terrific find. My GW would have charged seven dollars for it. I have just about broken up with them! olive♥
ReplyDeleteI too love, love, love milk glass...what an awesome find with an awesome price...a couple of years ago I too found a milk glass pitcher at the Salvation Army with 8 drinking glasses for $35.00....I could not get my money out of my purse fast enough....I just love those kinds of finds....thank you so much for your visit and your sweet comment.

I own the same milk glass pitcher and just love it! Abe had some wonderful quotes didn't he? Marcia
ReplyDeleteHey, I just noticed you featured my give away on your side bar. That is so kind of you. I thought I was a follower, but wasn't, but now I am official even though I have been happily following you almost my whole blog life (which isn't too long in human years!) Thanks for being a great blogging friend.
ReplyDeleteI adore your milk glass pitcher! I rarely find anything that nice at the thrift stores around here. I think it would also be beautiful with a big bunch of flowers in it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great buy!!! I love pitchers and am always drawn to white ones. They go with anything. Congrats on the price. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote...so true and love the vintage pitcher! How do you find this great stuff? You are one lucky gal!!!!

ReplyDeleteLovely. Milk glass is quite a collector's item nowadays. Thanks for linking up to Simple Pleasures.
ReplyDeleteI AM SOOOO VERY HAPPY TO MEET SOMEONE THAT LOVES MILK GLASS AS MUCH AS ME. I BUY EVERY PIECE I CAN FIND THAT IS CHEAP. I HAVE 2 OF THESE PITCHERS AND WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THAT ONE ALSO. I HAVE THE 8, 8 OUNCE HOBNAIL GLASSES. I BOUGHT ONE PITCHER AND 8 GLASSES, IN PURRRRFECT CONDITION FOR $5.00, YUP FIVE DOLLARS......I WAS SO VERY PROUD. I JUST LOVE, LOVE, MILKGLASS....I WOULD LOVE TO OWN A MILK GLASS PEDESTAL CAKE PLATE.
