I know it’s Fabulous Friday and all, but I’m afraid I have a confession to make….
I am addicted. I have an obsession with vintage glass. I am drawn to it everywhere I go. From cake plates to glass jars, I love it all and am amassing quite the collection. It is simply gorgeous and classic. And it has two very redeeming qualities – it’s cheap and can go in the dishwasher!
On a recent trip to the local antique mall and I scored this little “vase” for just $3!
Look closely and you will see an inscription that reads “Drink Milk for Health and Economy”. It brings me back to a time when kids drank milk for dinner and the milkman (my Dad was a milkman) left bottles of this creamy goodness at your door.
The top has a great edge to it too. Can you see the ribbing? It was so hard to capture.
And the flowers could be a Fab Friday post all their own! I picked these up nearly a week ago at the grocery store for just 1 Buck! That’s right – $1! I expect these beauties to last at least a few more days as I am seeing no browning or wilting yet. I do change the water everyday.
New to “Fabulous Friday”? A bunch of bloggers who just love the blog “Simply Seleta” post something we love every Friday. If you have not had the pleasure of visiting Seleta’s website yet, do yourself a favor and go over there today. I just love her style and personality.

What a great Fab Friday post! I love the glass. It reminds me of my old love of the cartoon jelly jars but with so much more class. Very nice.

My mother-in-law has a “collection” of glasses similar to these. They are actually jars that had corned beef in them, but they are adorable. They have stars around the top and I hope to inherit them someday! Have a fabulous Friday!

Kwana – I still have a few of those cartoon jelly jar glasses. My kids love them too. Aren’t they fun?!
Mama -That is great to know! I thought it might have been a jar but it’s too big for a jelly jar. The corned beef makes more sense. Good to know – thank you

That’s the great thing about vintage glass…..it looks fabulous alone, but looks even more fabulous in groups. So I say, keep collecting!

Oh how I covet your vintage glass!
