A Cabinet Full of Fenton


After I got a few sweet comments
on my kitchen cabinet, 
I realized I have never featured 
the cabinet in my bedroom. 


I bought both the double window
and single window cabinet
from 
The Rusty Gate, 
a local consignment shop. 


They both are made out of old wood 
and old windows.


The bottom drawer is perfect for linen.  


An open door brings out the fresh aroma
of the wood.
ummmmmmm.

I bought the square bowl on the top 
for $6 on EBAY.
At the time, it was valued at $167.



Each shelf is filled with pieces of 
my favorite milkglass.


I started collecting all milkglass.
Then I narrowed the search to Fenton Hobnail.



My daughter gave me the cake plate last Christmas. 
It's my favorite piece of all!


A couple of pieces are not Fenton, 
but close enough to keep!


This particular doilie 
was crocheted by my grandmother.


You've probably seen this chair before.
I got it at auction about 3 years ago.

I prayed for this one.

I held my breath.

SOLD for $25
to the lady in the back!

There are a poor crowd there that night, 
for sure.

Have a Marvelous Monday!
Bonnie:)

  7. I like the milk glass collection. It's very pretty. My mother had a couple of pieces that now reside in a place of honor. Milk glass, old photos, a pillow case that was hers and some 1940s costume jewelry is all I have left of that fine lady.
    Can you believe how warm it is? Wonder how long it will last.
    God bless. ~:)

  10. Love, love, love the Fenton Milk Glass pieces. Hobnail my favorite too, though I do have an assorted collection myself; I am re-building a collection that was broken during a move, after collecting the pieces for 25 years. And what a terrific sized cabinet - just perfect!

  13. Hi Bonnie ~ We have a couple of boxes of milk glass in our garage that was my husband's mom. How can you determine if it's worth anything. I do love milk glass, but both my hutches are filled with my tea "stuff".

  16. My grandmother had milk glass pieces. I believe I have a very small milk glass chicken dish someplace that was hers.
