Hi! This is only my second video, so I'm still learning. Thanks so much for watching!! Be safe and be well! Wishing you Easter blessings and new beginnings this spring.
Hi Mia! So great to meet you here on TH-cam! Thank you so much for watching our videos and your sweet note!! We really appreciate hearing from you and hope to see more messages from you soon! I'm so happy that you found our channel ;-) Have a wonderful week ahead and be well!! Sincerely, Peg
Love visiting your videos and touring your home. You have such great taste and such a love for items that were popular during our young days. Wish I had acquired the love for all these items when I was a younger woman and would have had the knowledge to hold on to some of my grandparents items. Keep sharing your tours please. Love them!!
19:22 - This stairwell is ABSOLUTELY, STUNNING, My Darling! My Goodness, I can't stop looking at it. Why oh why can't kids today, appreciate such things?! They come into homes like your guys place and rip out all this stunning, old school, decor and what they replace it with is not even, one quarter as beautiful, wonderful and charming as this is. Please My Darling, if I'm not being too bold in saying it; if ever, you guys decide to sell your place, please, please, make sure it goes to somebody who will appreciate and keep everything as it is now. Too many of these gorgeous, older, homes are bought up and "modernized" and are utterly, destroyed in the process. It rips my heart to shreds, it really does. Your home is charming, beyond words, all the more so because places like this are becoming rarer and rarer all the time. A true, treasure. Honestly. Warmest Wishes. Out For Now.
Loved this tour of your beautiful dining area! The milk glass is just stunning. I have a few pieces, but will now keep my eyes out for more of it! I collected Pyrex for years. I have the Friendship Cinderella bowl set. On my 60th birthday my girls had my cake done with the friendship bird motif on it!
Hi Sue! So nice to hear from you. Thank you for watching our videos and sending your kind and fun messages. (I'm sorry to be slow to respond.) So glad you like my crazy milk glass obsession and want to find more ;-) I'll bet your Pyrex collection is wonderful too. Such a darling idea that your daughters thought of that cake design! That must have been fantastic to see and what a surprise for you!! Thank you for sharing that warm (sweet) story!! Have a blessed week ahead and stay well! Sincerely, Peg
Aloha! 👋 Thank you so much for watching our videos and taking the time to write to us with your kind message! We're so glad you enjoy our home! 😊 We hope your autumn is blessed.🤎🧡❤️
Greetings Friend! Thank you for watching our videos and taking the time to write to us with your thoughtful and kind message! We appreciate it so much, and wish you and yours a very blessed holiday season. Best Regards, Peg and Norm
Hello Mehri! So very nice to hear from you again. I'm sorry to be so late to write and thank you for watching this Spring Dining Room video too, and sending your thoughtful message!! I'm happy if you liked everything. You know we appreciate having you for our TH-cam Friend ;-) Have a blessed week ahead and stay well. Peg and Norm too
Hello ml stone! Thank you so much for watching this video and writing to me with your kind compliments 😊. We will enjoy hearing from you again!! Hope you have a blessed week ahead! Sincerely, Peg
Fun! Fun! I told myself, years ago, I was not going to get "hooked" on the milk glass craze. I always tried to look away when I saw a milk glass item in the thrift store. Somehow, I have still ended up with a few pcs. How'd that happen? LOL. I said, "Ok, if I find the hand and it is cheap, I will grab that." Found the hand. And so on...... Nothing like your collection!
That's funny! I know what you mean. I quickly became addicted to looking for white on shelves in thrift stores etc. I think vintage and antique milk glass is gorgeous and would be very happy to see a big renewed interest. It does seem to be desirable for wedding decor now, mostly sale lots of common bud vases. How pretty that must be. I decided to sell a large compote and bud vase in the cabbage rose pattern (Fenton?) on eBay last year and it sold quickly. Some antique shops are now charging fairly high prices for pieces, especially Fenton or Westmoreland. Thanks again for sharing your story❣ Peg
Hi Nellie! Thank you so much for watching my spring kitchen video and writing your fun message! 😊 We are so glad if you enjoyed it and very happy to hear you are starting your own collection! That's awesome!!💚 We hope you have a great January and we'll look forward to hearing from you again ;-) God Bless, Peg
Hi Paula! So nice to hear from you. Thanks so much for telling me your favorites. I've been working hard on redoing my Pyrex and glassware display in the kitchen for summer (and dusting). I did change out the baskets to another smaller collection on the hutch too ;-) I think you'll like it. Thank you again for writing❣ Peg
Hello Barb!! Thank you so much for watching my spring dining room video and sending your very kind message! I'm really happy to hear from you. I'm so glad that you found my channel and thank you too for subscribing! I will look forward to hearing from you again ;-) I hope you have a blessed autumn and stay well. Sincerely, Peg and Norm too!
Hello Janice! So very nice to hear from you!! Thank you for watching my videos and taking the time to send your fun message! Yes, my brother has been so generous to Norm (with guy things) and my younger sister and me! We do our best to treat him with homemade meals and pies and cakes from the best bakeries, etc. Norm helps him with chores and computer related problems too and we are grateful that he lets us do those things for him. He is 76 but has some serious health issues so we are happy to find ways to be of assistance to him. He has spent his retirement selling things on Craig's List but not eBay, etc. So that keeps him pretty busy. Thanks again for your kind support of our channel and we hope you have a blessed weekend!! Sincerely, Peg & Norm
Hi again Renita! THANK YOU so much for watching my dining room video and sending your very kind message. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Have a blessed week and stay well. Sincerely, Peg and Norm too
Thanks so much, Donna! You are so sweet to say that!! Thank you too for your good luck wishes--I could use a lot of that. I'm very happy you're watching. 💜💜💜 Retro Peg
Hi, thanks so much!! You're funny and sweet! I used quality clear fishing line threaded between the lacy edges. I can send a photo if the back tomorrow if you wish.
@@missnicolemacy 👋 Hello!! Here is a much longer description of how I hung the milk glass plates that I copied from a response to another person previously. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND COMMENTING!! I'm only using plates with open lacy edges so I could run clear nylon fishing line through each side about a third of the way down the side. You dont want to go to far to 1/2 way because the plate would hang out from the wall. Even though I'm using around 12 lb or more weight line, I double what it's hanging on. I slide a scissors or something that thick under the thread to give a little slack before tying it tight. Then I also use regular tape for taping down the ends to the back of the plate just for some more security. You can't hang one with the line tight across the back. It needs some slack to form a point up and over your nail. That point will eventually get dented enough to keep it from slipping. The fishing line could stretch a tad eventually too. It takes patience and sometimes having to redo it when you get it too tight or too loose. I hope all that makes sense if you are planning to try it. I just figured it out on my own. Thanks for watching my videos. I hope you enjoy them and write again❣ Have a blessed week. Sincerely, Retro Peg
@@Crazy4Retro thank you! I just found you through superior girl vintage. I watched most of your videos today. I'm collecting plates for a future plate wall.
Hi Mia! Thank you very much for watching my dining room video! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed seeing my collections. I just love old dishes, like so many do. It's been really fun sharing it all. I thank you for your kind support of our channel and look forward to hearing from you again! Have a blessed week ahead! Sincerely, Peg
Love your milk glass I have many of the same pieces you have and lots of Westmoreland pieces...I don't have George Washington but I have Abraham Lincoln and was surprised it was made by Avon with beautiful lace edge
Hi LaJune! Thank you for watching my dining area video!! You must have a wonderful milk glass collection!! I just love the Abe Lincoln plate!!! It is amazing and I didn't know it was Avon either. They made some really nice things. Thank you for sharing your collection with me!! Have a blessed weekend ahead ;-) Sincerely, Peg
Hi Margie! So great to hear from you❣ Thank you so much for watching this dining room tour and writing your kind note! 😊 I'm sure glad you enjoyed it! Hope to hear from you again ;-) Have a blessed week and autumn. Sincerely, Peg
I'm watching all your tour videos... Loving it! You say you switch things out, my question is, where do you storage everything? I'm getting fun ideas from you Thanks!
Hi Narcissa! I found the baskets in many places like thrift stores and antique shops in Minnesota and Wisconsin. So great that you enjoyed seeing them. Thank you for watching my tour videos and posting your kind comments and questions!

Hi I just love your table! Imagine inspiring a lazy Susan design. Maybe you could post the link to the store if they are still around. I’d love a green or blue. I think your dedication to changing your displays to bring out different colours or themes, so they can be seen fresh and enjoyed from a new perspective is a testament to your creativity and love for your collection. I collect china melitta coffee filters.... I love the colours. I have pale blue, chartreuse green, yellow, pink and mint green. I have them in sizes 100 ( one cup) and 200, 400. I have a whole coffee set, pot, filter, cups and saucers in several colours and sizes. I enjoy the solid plain colours, arranged side by side. I love drip coffee and use them each morning. I recently moved and had to scale down my collections. The Melitta I saved and am trying to figure out how to display them in the new kitchen. I want an open display and your work has inspired me. I sold half my collections to pay for my move, which was incredible ( and sad ). I also put up a smaller Easter display this year. I love the changes of the season and decorating accordingly. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Christine 👋! So fun to hear from you again and nice of you to share about your Melitta collection 😊. I've never seen them before but looked it up. They are very cool and must look fantastic together with those colors 🥰!! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for them! That is so fun to use them each morning. I love using our 60's porcelain colorful mugs all day too. They tell you, it's better for your china to use it. I'm happy if you can get some ideas from our displays! 🙂 💚 It's funny, I love drip coffee too. Don't know if it's considered drip, but I grew up with my mom's old stainless vacuum coffee pot coffee 😋. Our last name is Curtis (my maiden name). Did they make the pots or carafes? Are you familiar with glass Cory rods used in those pots? Those were good memories. So sorry you had to sell so much of your collection. That's hard. Regarding the lazy Susan, I thought of just letting them know about our video, but didnt find any good information that showed they were still in business. Nothing was updated from way back then. Oh well.🙄 I really appreciate your notes and support, Christine!!💜 Thanks so much and have a great week!! Peg
Hi Sharon! I think like that too, but always happy that I bought it. I just try to give away something that I don't need anymore to make some room. Thank you for watching our videos! Hope you have a blessed May!
Hello Margaret! Thank you for watching my dining room video and sending your nice message. 😊 I've been asked about the plates many times, so I finally explained and showed it in my latest winter dining room tour video. Here is a link. Thanks for watching that also.💗 Wishing you a blessed winter season. Sincerely, Peg Watch "WINTER TOUR 2021 | Thrifted Vintage MCM Retro Milk Glass, Pyrex, Brass Deer & Snowy Décor Collection" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/k84rDzL2JaI/w-d-xo.html
Hi Margaret 👋 Thanks for watching this video and writing to me with your kind words 😊! I am only displaying plates that have open lacy edges so I could run clear nylon fishing line through each side. It's bit tricky with so many designs and I have to work 🙃 and sometimes rework it to make it hang right. I should have included that in my video. It’s been a common question. Thanks again for your support and writing! Have a blessed week! Sincerely, Peg
Hi Maria! Thanks again for watching another video and sending your question! I did make a video on hanging the milk glass plates a long while ago. Here is the link to that video: www.google.com/search?q=WINTER+TOUR+2021+%7C+Thrifted+Vintage+MCM+Retro+Milk+Glass&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS897US897&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:625072db,vid:k84rDzL2JaI I hope it helps. I start talking about it around time stop 6:12. I hope you find it helpful! Have a great January! Sincerely, Peggy
Hi Candi! Thanks so much for watching this video and writing to me with your fun question! I really have never minded dusting the pretty things. Whenever I change them for the videos, I dust the shelving. The seasonal items hardly get time to get dusty since they are put out for only a few weeks. It's easy dusting with Swiffer cloths and the wands are great too.😊 Norm is also very helpful to dust off high shelves and takes care of the mirrors for me. Dusting feels good as well as vacuuming and Norm also does most of that now. We hope you have a blessed spring
Hi again, Hilda! Thank you for watching this dining room video and taking the time to send 5 hearts!!! WOW! So sweet of you ;-) We are really glad you are enjoying our channel! Thank you so much for your kind support!! Sincerely, Peg & Norm
Hi Brenda! I used clear nylon fishing line threaded through the open lace edges. That's why I don't have plates with a solid edge. It works great. Thanks for watching this video and commenting. I really appreciate your support. Have a great week ahead❣ Sincerely, Retro Peg
I am So Jealous of your items LOL I LOVE Milkglass I have a hugh collection of vases anything that is milk glass I have to buy My hubby says the same thing WHERE ARE YOU GONNA PUT THAT ORDO YOU REALLY NEED MORE After 42 years together I say HUSH do you need to go fishing so much or hunting ?? So Yes I Need It and I will find a place
Hi Sandy! Always fun to hear from you. Thanks very much for watching my dining room (2nd amateur video) tour! That is awesome that you love milk glass and very funny what you say to hubby--LOL! That sounds like Norm, alright. He would love to be fishing, but he gave up his boat(s) several years ago and now we just can't afford what he wants (a nice pontoon). He even wants to live in a house with lake shore! I don't sadly, but whatever. I just don't want to live in a small town up north from us and have a hospital and our clinic miles away at our ripe age. We're only a few blocks from them now. Regarding hanging up my plates, I've only displayed ones that have lacy edges so I could run nylon fishing line through the holes about a third of the way down (half way would make them hang out too far from the wall). It takes practice and sometimes I'd have to redo it to get it just right, but I'm always determined. I used mostly 20 lb. line. Does hubby have any to spare?? If you need more detailed instructions, let me know. Thanks again for your support and fun messages. Have a blessed week!
Hello! Thanks for your question. My single brother has been a collector of lots of vintage and antique items that he could find very cheaply at flea markets, thrift stores or garage sales for decades. He had friends in Iowa and South Dakota where he found lots of great deals. He sold in an antique shop near his home (5 miles from us) here in MN. He left the shop years ago and in the past several years he's been downsizing and giving me as many of his collectibles that I will take. That includes many of my parent's things that I did not want 20 years ago when my mother passed that he had saved. Thanks again for being in touch with questions. Have a great day! Peg

LOVING YOUR CHANNEL !!!
I have never seen the milk glass plates with pictures ;Iam going to start to look,Love all your collection,
Hi MaryAnne! They are out there. I hope you can get some! Thank you for watching and commenting❣ Peg
Love visiting your videos and touring your home. You have such great taste and such a love for items that were popular during our young days. Wish I had acquired the love for all these items when I was a younger woman and would have had the knowledge to hold on to some of my grandparents items. Keep sharing your tours please. Love them!!
19:22 - This stairwell is ABSOLUTELY, STUNNING, My Darling! My Goodness, I can't stop looking at it. Why oh why can't kids today, appreciate such things?! They come into homes like your guys place and rip out all this stunning, old school, decor and what they replace it with is not even, one quarter as beautiful, wonderful and charming as this is.
Please My Darling, if I'm not being too bold in saying it; if ever, you guys decide to sell your place, please, please, make sure it goes to somebody who will appreciate and keep everything as it is now. Too many of these gorgeous, older, homes are bought up and "modernized" and are utterly, destroyed in the process. It rips my heart to shreds, it really does.
Your home is charming, beyond words, all the more so because places like this are becoming rarer and rarer all the time. A true, treasure. Honestly.
Warmest Wishes. Out For Now.

Oh my! Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor!!! So much eye candy..... I'd like to know what you used you hung the plates, please.
Hi, thanks so much!! You're funny and sweet!
I used quality clear fishing line threaded between the lacy edges. I can send a photo if the back tomorrow if you wish.
I was wondering too
@@missnicolemacy 👋 Hello!!
Here is a much longer description of how I hung the milk glass plates that I copied from a response to another person previously. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND COMMENTING!!
I'm only using plates with open lacy edges so I could run clear nylon fishing line through each side about a third of the way down the side. You dont want to go to far to 1/2 way because the plate would hang out from the wall. Even though I'm using around 12 lb or more weight line, I double what it's hanging on. I slide a scissors or something that thick under the thread to give a little slack before tying it tight. Then I also use regular tape for taping down the ends to the back of the plate just for some more security. You can't hang one with the line tight across the back. It needs some slack to form a point up and over your nail. That point will eventually get dented enough to keep it from slipping. The fishing line could stretch a tad eventually too. It takes patience and sometimes having to redo it when you get it too tight or too loose. I hope all that makes sense if you are planning to try it. I just figured it out on my own.

I really appreciate your notes and support, Christine!!💜 Thanks so much and have a great week!! Peg
Everytime I find something new for my collection in my small house, I say to myself "I don't know where I'm gonna put it, but I'll find somewhere."
Hi Sharon! I think like that too, but always happy that I bought it. I just try to give away something that I don't need anymore to make some room. Thank you for watching our videos! Hope you have a blessed May!
Love all of your collections! Love the milk glass plates! How do you hang them on the wall?
Hello Margaret! Thank you for watching my dining room video and sending your nice message. 😊 I've been asked about the plates many times, so I finally explained and showed it in my latest winter dining room tour video. Here is a link. Thanks for watching that also.💗 Wishing you a blessed winter season. Sincerely, Peg

I thought your milk glass wall was beautiful 😍. How do you hang them?
Hi Margaret 👋 Thanks for watching this video and writing to me with your kind words 😊! I am only displaying plates that have open lacy edges so I could run clear nylon fishing line through each side. It's bit tricky with so many designs and I have to work 🙃 and sometimes rework it to make it hang right. I should have included that in my video. It’s been a common question. Thanks again for your support and writing! Have a blessed week! Sincerely, Peg
An you do a video on how to hang plates on a wall thanks
Hi Maria! Thanks again for watching another video and sending your question! I did make a video on hanging the milk glass plates a long while ago. Here is the link to that video: www.google.com/search?q=WINTER+TOUR+2021+%7C+Thrifted+Vintage+MCM+Retro+Milk+Glass&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS897US897&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:625072db,vid:k84rDzL2JaI
I hope it helps. I start talking about it around time stop 6:12. I hope you find it helpful! Have a great January! Sincerely, Peggy
So fun! How often do you dust? That must be a tedious job.
Hi Candi! Thanks so much for watching this video and writing to me with your fun question! I really have never minded dusting the pretty things. Whenever I change them for the videos, I dust the shelving. The seasonal items hardly get time to get dusty since they are put out for only a few weeks. It's easy dusting with Swiffer cloths and the wands are great too.😊 Norm is also very helpful to dust off high shelves and takes care of the mirrors for me. Dusting feels good as well as vacuuming and Norm also does most of that now. We hope you have a blessed spring

Hi again, Hilda! Thank you for watching this dining room video and taking the time to send 5 hearts!!! WOW! So sweet of you ;-) We are really glad you are enjoying our channel! Thank you so much for your kind support!! Sincerely, Peg & Norm
What are you using to hang your plates?
❤️😍❤️😍❤️
How did you hang the Milk Glass?
Hi Brenda! I used clear nylon fishing line threaded through the open lace edges. That's why I don't have plates with a solid edge. It works great. Thanks for watching this video and commenting. I really appreciate your support. Have a great week ahead❣ Sincerely,
Retro Peg
@@Crazy4Retro Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Your videos are vantastic.
are the chairs also from the Malt shop?
👋 Hi Lark! Yes, they are, but I don't know if they are still in business?? Thanks much for watching the video and commenting 🙂! Peg
I am So Jealous of your items LOL
I LOVE Milkglass I have a hugh collection of vases anything that is milk glass I have to buy My hubby says the same thing WHERE ARE YOU GONNA PUT THAT ORDO YOU REALLY NEED MORE After 42 years together I say HUSH do you need to go fishing so much or hunting ?? So Yes I Need It and I will find a place
Hi Sandy! Always fun to hear from you. Thanks very much for watching my dining room (2nd amateur video) tour! That is awesome that you love milk glass and very funny what you say to hubby--LOL! That sounds like Norm, alright. He would love to be fishing, but he gave up his boat(s) several years ago and now we just can't afford what he wants (a nice pontoon). He even wants to live in a house with lake shore! I don't sadly, but whatever. I just don't want to live in a small town up north from us and have a hospital and our clinic miles away at our ripe age. We're only a few blocks from them now. Regarding hanging up my plates, I've only displayed ones that have lacy edges so I could run nylon fishing line through the holes about a third of the way down (half way would make them hang out too far from the wall). It takes practice and sometimes I'd have to redo it to get it just right, but I'm always determined. I used mostly 20 lb. line. Does hubby have any to spare?? If you need more detailed instructions, let me know. Thanks again for your support and fun messages. Have a blessed week!
How are the plates hung
Sandy, see previous reply from me. If you need further instructions, let me know. Peg
So.....is your brother a collector also?
Hello! Thanks for your question. My single brother has been a collector of lots of vintage and antique items that he could find very cheaply at flea markets, thrift stores or garage sales for decades. He had friends in Iowa and South Dakota where he found lots of great deals. He sold in an antique shop near his home (5 miles from us) here in MN. He left the shop years ago and in the past several years he's been downsizing and giving me as many of his collectibles that I will take. That includes many of my parent's things that I did not want 20 years ago when my mother passed that he had saved. Thanks again for being in touch with questions. Have a great day! Peg
