Welcome! Featuring recent milk glass finds...

Welcome to my thrifting blog! Although I already have my hands full with my family blog, Last Day Ago, and my craft blog, Lark & Lola, I have decided I need a  place to chronicle my thrifting adventures.

Thrifting has become my lifestyle lately. I've started clothing my family, decorating my home, and feeding my vintage Pyrex addiction all with the help of thrift stores.

I hope you come by often to check out what I've recently found!

For my first post, I've decided to show you one of my very favorite recent finds, this milk bottle. Have you ever seen anything like it? I don't even know if it's new or vintage--it is so pretty that I think it might be a reproduction. On the other hand, the glass maker's label on the bottom has me thinking it might be vintage after all:

I have been unable to track down information on this label. If you know anything about it, let me know! It appears to be a sphinx, with cursive letters below it. Over the sphinx is a monogram that I also have had no luck figuring out...

It's a tall bottle, I was happy to find it for $2.99 at the Arc Thrift Store one evening.

Next up...

Technically this isn't a thrift find, but an estate sale find. This is my first hunted jadite! I was so excited to find it at an estate sale down the street, going for only $4! If you know much about antiques, you know jadite is hugely popular among collectors, and just to prove it, check out it's matching pepper shaker going for sale here for $48.

It's an Anchor Hocking piece from the 1930s. I love it! Maybe someday I'll find it's match {there's no way I'm paying $48 for it.}

Also at the estate sale I picked up the above set, by Hazel Atlas, for $10. The lids are pretty banged up, but still functional.

And finally, although tacky Avon collectibles always crowd up the shelves at thrift stores, here is one little Avon item I decided to take home. I liked the Scandinavian style print. I think I paid $1.99 for it.

Just a little, footed milk glass jar and lid. Inside is an odd candle which smells good but acts like beeswax.

Happy thrifting! Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers,
Heather @ Lark & Lola
