Look in the Attic for Milk Glass Cake Stands

I found one of my favorite sources, Look in the Attic.You can find practically anything in the way of transferware, jadite, and depression era glass...all of which are totally my style.

From top left: pink jadite tiered cake stands (set of three, $110.99); green jadite cake stand ($74.99); porcelain transferware serving tray ($34.99); white jadite tiered cake stands (set of three, $110.99); depression era glass cut bowl ($64.99); depression era glass cake stand ($49.99);  depression era  era glass bunny rabbit serving dish ($24.99).

Whether you use these pieces for your wedding, or just register for them, you will find so many uses for them, from entertaining, to decor, to everyday use. I can not tell you how many times I used cake stands for events when I worked for Martha Stewart. Growing up, my grandmother had all of these pieces as well. I guess that's where my love affair for milk glass, hobnail, and depression era pieces comes from.

The Paris Flea for Vintage Wedding Style

 

If you don't already know, one of the great wonders of the world is the Paris flea market. When I worked in fashion,  there was a woman whose  official title was "Inspirational Shopper." She traveled all over the world and shopped. That was her job. Seriously. Whenever she returned to NYC,  her luggage was a virtual treasure trove of the lovely and the sublime. She always went to the Paris flea market. The most famous flea market in Paris is the one at Porte de Clignancour, officially called Les Puces de Sain-Ouen, or Les Puces (The Fleas).Not going to Paris soon? Thanks to Le Petit Garage, you can (sort of) visit the Parisflea market whenever you desire...je suis enchante...If you do go to Paris, rent a real Paris apartment in the 18th Arrondissement (where Les Puces is) via The Paris Apartment.
