Vacation finds


Well here they are...The Pyrex I brought back from vacation. Some are from Brimfield and the rest is from Maine. The 3 Crazy Daisy nesting bowls came from Brimfield, were nearly new (the only thing missing was the box! They had the original cardboard separating them.) The vendor was asking 15$, but when it was time to pay, she said just gimme 12$. Super cool! A gift from Dad.
I found a really cool stand selling tons of Corelle dishes and Pyrex. Everything was 50% off. I got 2 Bradford house plates and the S&P shakers for 9$.
I found out that the Bradford House was the name of the lunch counter in the W.T. Grants departement store that went bankrupt in the 70's (I love getting some stories with my Pyrex).


The turquoise round casserole comes from Brimfield as well($5) and the large turquoise square bowl is from Maine and was 50% off, so was quite a steal at $11 in minty condition!!!

Small Butterprint casserole ($5 at Brimfield) gift from Dad and Town & Country small casserole ($3.20 in Maine). I will post the rest of the pictures probably next time.

Home sweet home!





The trip was amazing!!! Brimfield is so big, it is GINORMOUS!!! There are 11 different venues (11 different fields to see). Some are opened for 6 days others for 2, some open at dawn some at noon. We were on the premises at 6 in the AM! Bright eyed and bushy tailed! With huge coffee in hand! We were able to do 4 venues in 2 days and that was enough (for us anyways). My feet hurt and my eyes couldn't quite focus anymore.....All those antiques! I had never seen so much glassware. FireKing, Pyrex, Glasbake, Federal, Hazel Atlas the whole kit and kaboodle! I have to make supper, so I will post other pictures later.

Lentil curry in Pyrex


This is a picture of last night supper, delicious lentil curry served in an avocado Pixie casserole with Nan bread fresh from the oven. And you know what? My love insisted that I take a picture to put in my blog! I say!
Besides that, we're painting the bathroom... This morning we struggled with stinky oil primer...It is nearly dried, so the first coat is minutes away....
In 5 days the Brimfield bound minivan will be departing...I can't wait...Oh the possibilities....Pictures of Pyrex dancing in my head!!! In case you are wondering about Brimfield....http://www.brimfield.com/index.htm
