I picked up three of these tumblers in the U.S. during our trip to Tennessee. I had never seen these in the flesh, per say, 
before. Normally I wouldn’t buy three of anything, but they were pretty and inexpensive.
I think this is an etch that is easy to find, if it appeals.
Hard to photograph the entire glass but I wanted to show the full etch.

I picked up a number of Milk glass pieces at a Salvation Army in the U.S. I’ve seen this compote online, but I’ve not identified it. 
It’s a pretty thing. The edge of the base is a translucent blue. Hard to photograph.
I don’t know why I pick up milk glass – it’s really not a favourite. But is IS cheap I guess.

I picked up this pretty marigold compote in Cobourg. 
I’ve developed an appreciation for the colours of Carnival and want to add a few pieces to my collection.
The photo doesn’t really do the piece justice. Hard to capture the intensity of the colour and the irridescence.
