Old Loves and A Thrifty Find

Time flies in summer with all the garden chores...

Weed,weed,weed,harvest,weed,weed,weed,water,water, weed,harvest!

I was, however,able to take time and rediscover some old faves (i.e: some of the Pyrex I'd stashed and forgot about)

New Dots in blue a gift from Dad from The Brimfield Flea in Mass.

I'm always in awe the way light hits milkglass.

Stripes in blue (yep I forgot the real name of the pattern) Is it Pastel Stripes?

I'll look it up.

Again the light. It makes me all fuzzy inside

I'm glad I found you!

Now I thought I'd share some day to day Pyrex with you.

This is where some of my everyday Pyrex lives

Closer?

Huuuummm Pyrex!

I love me some Pyrex :)

How about a nice salad in Pyrex?

 This was super tasty!

Grape tomatoes,artichoke hearts, sliced black olives, green onions and green

and yellow beans fresh picked from the garden!

 Yummy!

OMG I almost forgot about the thrifty find!

Yes that is a lamp, a turquoise metal lamp.

Now Dan insists on placing the shade that way....but that leaves little room

for the light bulb!

Yes you're seeing right!

New from the Christmas Tree Shop in South Portland

$2.25!

I'm giddy every time I look at it !

Well that's it for me folks, sleep tight ! 

Pyrex Finds

What a fun weekend that was! On the way down we hit 3 boring garage sales and 2 fleas. Needless to say the little green un-marked graduated Pyrex bowl was gone...oh well! You snooze,you loose!

I did find 2 things but I haven't cleaned them yet....I was too busy installing the air conditionner and washing these....

 

I found those at Cliff's flea market in Scarborough, Maine on Sunday. I was a bit down because I didn't find any Pyrex on the way down (except some Early American, tons of it! Early American lovers rejoice!)

Dan assured me I was going to find something GOOD that day! Boy oh Boy that sure was a statement!

I first came across the Atlas jar with a milk glass insert (In case you didn't know I also have a thing for vintage Mason jars...It's called Jarosis) and just had to have it. Then I saw that cute Pastel Stripes bowl that I've been looking for for nearly a year now; I kept seeing it in Ebay and Etsy for around 15$ to 20$ plus shipping....So I was real happy to shell out 7.50$! A couple of booths farther I was attacked by thie adorable Flamingo Party Pan for 2.75$, I just had to bring it home....

Here's a closeup of the milk glass insert. The Atlas jars were in fact made by Hazel Atlas.

 

Also at Cliff's I found the smaller Gooseberry casserole....On Monday we decided to go to York Beach and drove by the BoMar flea in Wells. There I found the pink Gosseberry casserole. It was 12$ and I decided to skip it. Dan asked me if I was sure I wasn't gonna take it and if I was gonna moan and whine about it back home....LOL! somebody knows me soooo well! So I went back to pick it up and lo and behold everything was 50% off! Cool! With lid! And minty too!

Look how cute the triplets look!

Gotta go! This is pool girl's time of the year too! Must remove leaves this morning!
