Heirloom Antiques

My parents have had various boxes of my "stuff" in their house for years, waiting for me to bring them to my house 1 or 2 at a time when we visit.  Mom and Dad brought one particularly special box to me when they visited for Christmas.  

I cried as I unpacked these treasures today and put them on the shelves in our den.  Several of these were my grandma's, which makes them so very special to me.  

I've wanted to collect milk glass for years, but haven't frequented antique stores to find more than a couple pieces.  Even though not every one of these is milk glass, I love how they look together.  The green and white ones are two seperate pieces of Fenton Ware that I stacked.  

What a wonderful gift...
