When we went to vacation to Italy in the 70's, I was soooo surprised to see and smell oleanders everywhere, litterally!
I was also happily surprised to see one in front of a designer boutique near my workplace.
I stop by it every morning and take a big whiff out of those adorable pink flowers.
Now on the Pyrex front I went to pick up a Butterfly Gold that I had purchased on Etsy. Much to my surprise when I grabbed the box I could hear the broken pieces rattling inside. UGH! So I came home and took some pics and wrote the seller.
It wasn't very well wrapped....I asked for a refund.....Stay tuned on that!
Have a great night! And keep on thrifting!

It makes me so sad to see Pyrex in pieces like that because someone did not take the time to wrap it properly! :( I had Oleanders all over the place growing up!
awww...I hate that sound when you pick up the box! It has happened to me a few times, and the sellers have been very kind about refunds. Hope your seller is too!
The worst part is that you still don't have your Pyrex! Good luck finding it again at a good price!
I've heard of Sweet Oleander. I think there was even a perfume called that. Maybe someday I will be lucky enough to smell one too!
The Etsy art teams have workshops. I'm thinking we need vintage workshops too. Packing fragile items could be one.
