Milk Glass InspirationGoing to antique malls for fun finds is one of my favorite pastimes. It’s where I found crazy cool containers for my reception foyer, and where I’ve bought various pieces of furniture or amazing necklaces for friends (and me!) in the past. Milk glass containers are just some of those finds that you can find at antique stores or antique malls. They are usually pretty reasonable, and you may be able to find friends and families who are willing to lend you ones they have had for years. These would work well with any event that you are planning. Take a look at the pictures below for so...
