Where was I ?

                                 There was some Pyrex sightings....

                              

More Pyrex? Yes siree bob!

 

Overpriced scrappy blowmolds

 

Fabulous glassware and

 

and amazing barware?

 

Well I was in Maine for a long weekend.

 

It was beautiful and restorative as usual.

 

It is was my soul needed.

 

I didn't buy anything in the pictures.

 

Nothing , nada. I did find some cool stuff but I can't seem to find it.

 

We arrived late on Tuesday night, I worked Wednesday and we are still not unpacked!

 

Oh well, things to do on the weekend! 

Undercover Flea Market

In the middle of nowhere (at least it feels that way to me!) is the Undercover Flea Market. Actually it's in Oxford Maine. Opened all year round from 9 to 5. You could litteraly get lost in there!

It's a good thing they sell coffee and snacks! It's HUGE! And most of the booths have sale signs.

It's not the cheapest place, and not the most expensive either. You could find basicaly anything : old books,new books,glassware,cut glass,crystal,pottery, a whole wall of S&P shakers and the list goes on and on!

The 2 Pyrex pieces in the picture were gifts from my Dad. I didn't have the Butterfly Gold loaf pan and I had never seen that deep orange 402 bowl anywhere! Cool!

Imagine that we still have half the road ahead of us! We passed in front of one really mysterious place called the Pick N Paw . It looks like a humongous pile of junk by the side of the road, and unfortunately it was closed! Rats! We have never stopped there....Maybe on the way back!

Super Day!

This is a water bottle I found at the Undercover Flea market in Oxford ,Me last October. I had wanted one for quite a while but the ones I found were just too expensive! This one is MINT! It's getting a lot of use right now...I put filtered water in it in the fridge!

So yesterday I was visiting a new church thrift store for the first time, it was a place full of character with a lot of clothes and not much else...But I did score some lovely vintage aprons and one tablecloth mid-century no less. I have no pictures to show you because they are drying as we speak. They only time I don't wash the linens is when they are new (but vintage) I just iron them. I believe it's a good selling point! Vintage but never been used! Bless all those people who didn't use their things and gave them to the church! I found one apron still in its original wrapping...Nice! I'll be sure to take a picture to show you.

After we drove around the island to look at the water and the beautiful houses. We, is my step daughter and I and I live on an island.Then a quick stop at one of my favorite nursery....Ok I got all crazy and wanting to run around all over the place!!! LOL Crazy plant lady, scratch that. Crazy pyrex/cat/plant lady!

I lost a lot of my favorite plants lately and it is probably because we didn't get a lot of water this spring. I lost 2 lavender, 3 white phloxes , a burgundy echinacea, one lemon and oranges gaillardia and maybe more....sigh. I was able to replace the gaillardia, one phlox and the 2 lavenders at a very good price and the plants are quite big.

They're sitting in the borders waiting for some planting action (which should happen today).

The rain has stopped, the garden is beckoning but I definitely have a date with the vacuum....LOL

Oh by the way! let me tell you about a fun blog i found (for all you thrifting maniacs!) it's momwaldsplace.blogspot.com. very fun!

Have a nice one! :)
