What a fun group of thrifters we had for this…everyone has such cool stuff!!
I know, right? A great vintage-loving group:)
Merry Christmas, my friend. It was such fun doing this round up with you. I love watching all your creativity. Hugs and blessings to you.
Always love to see your beautiful ideas, too, Renae! Thanks:) Merry Christmas!
I love milk glass and have some pieces from my great-grandmother, but am always at a loss for how to style them. Thank you for sharing your ideas, Lora!
Can’t wait to see how you use them in your beautiful home, Jen!
Such a fun post. I love your style. What a great group sharing our favorite finds. Hugs to you.
Yes, it was fun to join in!
I pinned this and know after Christmas I’ll be looking for some inspiration. Merry Christmas.
Wonderful, Marlene; thanks for pinning!
I remember reading that milk glass post and telling myself I’m going to dress mine up with pretty flowers and ribbon or use candles in them like you did. Sadly, they are still collecting dust (but being all pretty) in the dining room hutch at the farmhouse. I need to spend more time there so I can enjoy doing some of the things you did! Dang it.
Yes, it takes our old minds quite a few times for these ideas to stick, right?
Such wonderfully amazing ideas in all of these!! I’m in the market for some flower frogs this coming year 🙂
Yes, they are a fun collection to hunt for, Rachel!
Lora I’m always so happy to have you join us and I’m looking forward to a lot more in 2023. Happy holidays😃
Thanks so much, Ann!
Lora,
This was such a fun year, and we are so glad you joined us twice. I look forward to more fun collaborations with you this coming year. Merry Christmas.
