Bestest day!

I swear it was the bestest day! We had lunch with my Dad at L'Express bistro ( a reference for french food in Montreal)

And we went and got my very early B-Day gift ( a computer!), OMG I'm so excited!!! It needs to be programmed, but I'll have it soon enough....I can't wait to post the gazillion pictures I took!!!

That is definitely the part I miss the most. Uploading pictures in Flickr, it is one of my artistic outlets.

We then took a nice leisurely card ride back to my Dad's and I gave him his gifts ( An italian cook book that he had been looking for 4ever, a clear 502 pyrex refrigerator dish and a 1927 Fry juicer). I also got a boatload of new Pyrex (new to me that is!!!) all that I didn't have! Goody,goody I'm like a kid in a candy store! I'm soooo spoiled! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

To go home we took the old roads near the river and stopped at a DQ for a little cone and came home at 6 PM. I had to fiddle with the pool ( no pool boy around here, just a pool girl!) Got soaked...eeeewwwww and I'm happy to report that the water is a pale khaki tonite...LOL

And the stench disappeared ! Now it's the chlorine channel...all chlorine, all the time!!!

I got the carafe in the pic last year at the Salvation Army, It's now in a box somewhere and I need to find it coz' I'm itching for some iced tea...

Thrift bounty!!!

February has been a really good month for thrifting! I seem to be at the right place and the right time....And since I opened my little shop on Etsy, I figured I can buy all the things I had no place for and sell them!!!

I found the syrup pitcher at a community thrift shop and also the Old Town blue cups. Speaking of the cups....I couldn't really look at them because they were tapped together in a pack of four, so when I got home I saw that I had 3 cups with the design and a plain white one! I was a bit pissed off! But what the....Maybe some good soul will adopt them.....LOL


The divided snack dish came from the Salvation army and required a lot of elbow grease.....It was so dirty, and even showed signs of cigarette burns! But with a good soaking and scrubbing, it came out just like new!

I just fell in love with the turquoise salad servers(also from the Salvation Army)....They were so vintage! And really clean....And I'm happy to report that they found a good home!!!

Last pale blue piece, still from the Salvation Army, is what I call a candy dish.....It could be used for a vase, a planter, a catchall.
I just find the shape delightful....I would keep everything....but it has been made clear that we need room! LOL



I sure hope the rest of the month will bring me plenty of finds and that March will be even better!

Pyrex has been scarce lately.....And either the piece is too expensive or in really bad shape....

I have been hunting for some Fry Glass pieces, for my Dad and so far I have found a very nice casserole with lid and craddle and 2 custard cups.But that is for another post......

Happy hunting!
