Ah, I am beyond annoyed at myself. You know my beautiful milk glass lamp?
The one I love and adore?
Yes, well what’s wrong with this picture? :frown: In the midst of moving furniture around in the Love Nest…I knocked the top of the antique lamp. It went crashing to the floor. After I screamed and cried and picked up the pieces…I went out on ebay to try to find a matching globe for the lamp. No luck so far. Also hit 2 antique malls. No luck. I’m heartbroken and totally annoyed that I’d be so clumsy. It is my absolute favorite milk glass piece that I own. I need to go hide this lamp so it’s not such an in your face reminder… :shakehead:

Why, yes, it did involve milk glass, why do you ask?? 
Isn’t it beautiful?? It’s kind of a cross between a pie plate and a platter or a serving plate.
It’s my favorite kind of milk glass, Fenton silver crest with the cute little wavy clear glass edges. :love:
I was on the lookout for cute glass containers for flowers. Isn’t this one nice? I love the wavy, twisted glass at the throat of it. (yes, that water needs to be changed…)
And this darling little pitcher thingie. I love the little spout on it and the cute circle handle.
SuperGuy is getting pretty good at finding unusual glass containers for me to use for my flowers. He found this one!
I told you the Pink Elephant had cool stuff! Well, I think I should go bake some cookies to put on that milk glass plate, what do you think??

Yep, you saw it here first.
The Pink Elephant Antique Mall. Wonder how it got it’s name?? :rofl: (also notice the elephant coming out of the wall in the far left corner…)
It’s off of Hwy 55 in Illinois. About an hour or so from us.
It has interesting “yard art”, now doesn’t it? Almost as interesting as the bull on Hwy 70. Adding to undocumented stories on the internet…supposedly the owner of this ice cream stand called the manufacturer who told them they weren’t made anymore, but there were some abandoned ones. The owner went and picked up this abandoned one from somewhere out east and brought it back here. Maybe.
There’s the giant beach guy, supposedly moved from the Soulard Area in St. Louis. Maybe. Or maybe from somewhere in IL. Impressive, huh?
Then there is this Harley Davidson dude right outside too. Brought here from, um, Harley Davidson I’d presume. Maybe. :coffee2:
Look, you can see the edge of an old space ship there at the corner of the building too! A REAL one. 😉
The antique mall is inside an old school in Livingston, Illinois. I love this shop. The people are helpful and friendly and there is a wide variety of things to buy er, look at okay, okay, to buy. I’ll show you some of our prizes tomorrow. Yes, milk glass was involved.
There you are, always willing to help. Spreading undocumented rumors on the net!
