the milk glass footed bowl

milk glass footed bowl from a Knights of Columbus yard sale in Newton Centre

While wandering around Newton Centre last Saturday, we stumbled upon a yard sale hosted by the local Knights of Columbus. I believe yard sales are usually 99% garbage and 1% treasures, but I found my treasure — an actual milk glass footed bowl. You know this thing would go for at least $15 on eBay or in a thrift store. Luckily, I got it for $1.

I’ve been wanting to acquire a few pieces like this one ever since my wedding. At our evening reception we served cheesecake for dessert, along with toppings like chocolate sauce, caramel, fresh strawberries, crushed Oreos, chopped Reese’s, and a berry sauce. I loved all the cake stands, bowls, and serving dishes that came together from a variety of places (mainly friends’ collections). With each new piece I buy, that’s one less piece I have to borrow for next time! (And by next time, I don’t mean next wedding. Just next event.)
