Here are my finds!
- 2 Pyrex mixing bowls
- One Woodland Brown 402
- One Autumn Harvest Wheat 403
- Vintage Pillow Case
- Vintage Men's Shirt
The first thing is the men's shirt that I bought. A year or so ago we went to Little 5 Points in downtown Atlanta and I found the most comfortable button up. And it turns out that it was a well worn men's shirt from the 60's or 70's. So since then I have been looking for cute men's shirts. I really liked this one it is light blue with yellow, lavender, and slightly darker blue stripes. I am trying to decide whether or not I will keep this one or give it to Steve.
Then today I found this vintage pillow case. I am not sure if I am going to use it for a DIY or keep it for an actual pillow case.

Woodland Brown 402
The first thing that I do when I head to a thrift store is head straight for the glassware section. And lately I have been leaving empty handed. But I got there and this little guy was sitting inside of the larger bowl. I almost ran when I saw them. I am not a huge fan of the light brown color but I love the pattern. Honestly, I do not think that you can have too many of these bowls. I have a few that are the size smaller than this one and they are great for when you want a big bowl of cereal. Autumn Harvest Wheat 403
This bowl is such a great size! It is not a pretty pink or turquoise but I think I will be more inclined to use it because it is not one of my favorite patterns.
I am so glad the Pyrex dry spell is over. Both bowls are in really great condition! I do not collect these patterns but I would love to have a complete set. I would totally love to give my friends a set of vintage Pyrex for Christmas.
Finally the Homer Laughlin tea cups. I love the turquoise detail on the top of these. The cups are nice and heavy, they are substantial. I understand why these are restaurant ware. I bought these thinking that I would make my tea cup candles. However, when I realized that they are restaurant ware I decided that I will put them in my Hope Chest and find other tea cups to make into candles.
I hope y'all are having a great week so far!

I wish I could control myself to once a month lol! All of the flea markets close to me have become gross and have only new things. There are a few around that are good but I never get around to going.

The Woodland & the Autumn Harvest are the only ones we use on a regular basis in our home. All the others are busted out only on special occasions.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I think that will be how I am. Until then they are hidden away till I have my own house.
