Milk Glass

I'm developing a thing for milk glass. I'm pretty picky about the stuff I will even consider buying, so I can't imagine I'll amass a giant collection anytime soon, but it seems my little collection is growing.

It all started with a sugar bowl. I was tired of having my big container of sugar on my kitchen counter to have with my morning coffee and wanted a sugar bowl. I finally found a cute milk glass sugar dish while out thrifting one day (sorry no pic). Then just recently I found a plain milk glass saucer to put the dish on. I know it's just a simple thing, but I love having a sugar dish I can leave out!

Now my collection has grown to include these pieces. The two on the left I got yesterday, the one on the right, a few weeks ago. 

I got the first one because I thought it would be a great little planter. You might not be able to tell from the angle I took the picture but the one on the left is bigger than the one on the right. Again, I was thinking it might make a nice planter... it might actually be perfect for my Lipstick Plant...

...who just keeps growing and will soon need a new home!


But then I put them up on my favorite windowsill and saw the light coming through and wasn't sure I could fill them anymore. I like the way the light comes through...

The vase will, of course, be filled with freshly cut flowers this summer. I love the scalloped, frilly edge on the top. But the other two....
what do you think? Do I bite the bullet and plant something? Keep them on various windowsills? Put them in the kitchen and fill them with fruit? What would you do?
