your fall table-milk glass

Previously I posted some inspiration for decorating your Thanksgiving table - aka tablescape - using brass and leaves. Today I am providing you with some inspiration using milk glass.

I have paired some milk glass pieces from my collection, and from the brand*eye home shop to create a unique scene. This is definitely not the typical orange and eath tone thanksgiving table. It is inspired by the purple vintage glasses, which happened to pair perfectly with the cut coleus from my garden. I used the vintage milk glass vases and filled them with coleus. This arrangement would work with any cut flower or mixture of flowers. You can find a post on cutting your coleus here-extending the lives of coleus.



Ingredients:

• milk glass! here is a vintage footed hobnail lidded compote (that is a mouthful), and here is a set of vintage milk glass vases from the brand*eye home shop.
• vintage milk glass vase from the brand*eye shop here
• vintage purple glasses- just use that search term on etsy or ebay and you will find a bunch of awesomeness
• plates from crate and barrel: this is a similar set
• vintage silver ware
• vintage linen napkins

The milk glass candle holders are from my collection, but if you're interested, just contact me at brandeyehome ( at ) gmail (dot) com.

I didn't use any base for this arrangement, but this would look even better with the scattering of leaves down the center like the brass example.
