Clean and White - Today

Hello, Dear Ones. Today I would like to show you my half wall that separates my living room from my kitchen. Thank goodness for this wall as it helps hide a little mess or two that I make in the kitchen.

I rather think of these ledges as mantels. I can do that, can't I? If you've visited me before you've seen this large floral that I've made. Well, I love it and here it sits again. I like those two blue and white candle sticks too and they love me back so... This is the center ledge of my half wall.

Since I used lots of color during Christmas, I wanted to keep everything clean and white. So the perfect solution was pieces of my Milk Glass. I took one of my vases and poked a moss ball in it for the center. Then I added some pretty pieces of Milk Glass around it. It's so clean and white you can barely see the Milk Glass!

Here is the other ledge. Same concept - large Milk Glass vase with a moss ball poked in it and then four pieces of pretty Milk Glass. I'm liking the clean and white look. I'll like it for a little while until the bunnies come out!

Be a bunch of sweeties,                                                                                                                              Shelia :)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~

Nights In White Satin

 Nights in white satin

Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh, how I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
Yes I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Yes I love you
Yes I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bed sitter people look back and lament
Another days useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

~ sung by The Moody Blues

Christmas Milk Glass

 Hello, Dear Ones! Well, today I want to show you my glass shelves on the left side of my fireplace filled up with some of my Milk Glass. I say 'some' as I have a whole lot that just won't fit here. Any way, come on in and I'll show you!

First of all, I just love Milk Glass. I love the snowy white color. I love that most of it is vintage and I love that I can use it, and I do, for many things every day.

Isn't this just so pretty? This is my first shelf all filled up with different Milk Glass pieces. I poked in a few Christmas balls and some Christmas picks.

The big Milk Glass basket was given to me by my little mother many years ago and I just cherish it. When we were out traveling this summer, I found the tiny baby basket to my big basket and was so thrilled.

Here you can see the baby basket and of course my white Staffies are always on guard here because they are white in color. That makes them fill so proud.

Traveling on to the second shelf, you can see more Milk Glass!

Did I tell you how much I love Milk Glass?

Here's another white Staffie and unfortunately, he doesn't have a mate. Thus the sad little look.

Here is the third shelf and I have placed a few Hob Nail patterned Milk Glass pieces up here. The mirror behind this makes everything seem more than what it is and reflects the living room and the kitchen! This mirror would not have been my choice to put up but it was here when we moved in and it could just stay here. If I were rich I'd have it pulled down in a heart beat. Oh, well...it is what it is.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my snowy Milk Glass today. 

Be a bunch of sweeties,                                                                                                                       Shelia :)

White Christmas

 I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white 

~ sung by Bing Crosby

 

Milk Glass!!

 Hello, Dear Ones! Well, I just love milk glass and have quite a collection of it. Over the summer and on our little RV trips I have found some new pieces for my collection.

Look at all of my little pretties here.

First of all I found this darling little milk glass basket. It's very small and the most wonderful thing is...

She matches my big milk glass basket that I already had! Isn't this wonderful!!

I have always wanted a shoe. I've seen them in homes ever since I was a little girl and I finally found one. How elegant she is! You know all of my milk glass are ladies!

Then we were at a cute little RV camp who had a store with old antiques and I saw these little salt and peppers. I bought them for $6! Can you believe it? Aren't they cute with the little Dutch girl and boy on them?

I found another set of salt and peppers - so elegant in their little basket. This is a small little set and probably was originally used to sit on a personal food tray for fancy people. Well, I'm fancy so I had to have them.

See how sweet they are out of their basket?

Hope you've enjoyed seeing more of my milk glass!

I'm so excited to join Debra At Common Ground and Amber at Follow the Yellow Brick Home for the All About Home Party,

As always...be a sweetie,

Shelia ;)

I do all the pleasing with you, it's so hard to reason
With you, oh yeah

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
