HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Happy 4th of July o all my american friends!

Sorry I didn't post this morning, I was on the road.

I hope you all had a wonderful day of celebration.

I'm pretty sure I've shared this piece of Pyrex before....but here it comes again...

                                             My bi-centennial Pyrex mug . It holds a special meaning to me
                                             because I first went to Maine in 1976.

                                          I saw fireworks over the ocean and I am pretty sure I bruised
                                          my coccyx when I slipped and fell on a pointy rock on the shore.
                                          That was an intense pain!

                               We went road tripping in Ontario and I spent only $2.25. I got the Brown Homestead
                                casserole for my Dad because it is his favorite size to reheat leftovers in the oven or
                                 make smaller portions. He only has a faded yellow one , so an extra one with a lid
                                should be really handy.
                                 The little blue dish is Seetusee Glassware handmade in Portage La Praire Manitoba
                                 , they were crafted between 1960 and 1975. Who knew they were collectible?
                                  Each piece is hand painted and the back is gold pigskin....
                                 You should checked them out in Ebay.
                               
                                 We had a very enjoyable lunch at Dianne's Fish Bar in Kingston. We had just learned                                     of the restaurant by watching `You Gotta Eat Here` on Canadian Food Network.

                                  As much as I enjoy driving and thrifting....I am glad we will be staying home for the next few days to take care of business!

                                  Be well!

New Pyrex & some thrifting

Last week when I went to visit my Dad he surprised me with this....

                                A 401 Homestead bowl in Navy ( it exists in Brown)
                                a gift from a Pyrex soldier.
                               And what about that brick wrapped in waxed paper?

A brick of maple sugar! YUM ! Such a cool gift!

 

We took Friday off for our annual creamer capper to Massena NY.

 

Why creamer capper? Well, I suffer from ( among other things) a liquid Coffee Mate addiction and December is a great time to go across the border and look for it!

 

I didn't find the Coffee Mate I was yearning for but decided to try some International Delight creamer instead...Still unopened in the fridge....

 

I did find 2 new thrift shops, one with mostly clothes and the other was kind of an antique mall with booths, but not really.

Very clean, bright and warm.

 

I got the measuring cup

 

  

                               I also got a kitty kat beatnik Xmas tree ornement (no pic yet) for $1.

                                  The Butterfly Gold casserole came from Value Village in Cornwal, and I also got other cool stuff from there, but I didn't think of capturing those finds for posterity
                                  It was a beautiful  day full of finds and laughter and we both and a ball.
                                  We were asleep in the living room by 9:30 pm...

                                   Good times!

I just noticed I have a couple of new followers! WELCOME!  I hope you will enjoy your visits

Must go beddy bye because the morning comes really fast!

Pictures...

I was able to use a computer today so I was able to download pictures then send them to me....

For the past half hour I've been trying to edit my Lachute post to include pictures....not working out at all!

First pic: Lachute is a wide range Flea Market. You can get antiques,vintage, new socks, meat,bread,veggies, livestock and flowers.

OMG look! It's Mr T! On that lunch box....

The Homestead set with the box.

The box of sad Delphite. You can't see it now but it's lost it's shine and it's all scratched!

Some of the Sunflower casseroles....One of the most plentiful pattern of that day!

I hope you enjoyed the pics!
