PEDESTAL PLANTERS

A few of my favorite things...

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Celebrating my birthday ALL weekend!

Started out yesterday going to some of my favorite places!

Found this pink Pyrex Gooseberry bowl at Black Rose

and solid pink loaf pan too! :-)

I love Butterfly Gold. Yay!

A lovely surprise at Care & Share! Butterprint pattern

and square Glassbake dish too!

And, these two beauties! McCoy love!

ROUND PLATTERS

I guess this is turning into a new collection!

Lately I've been finding these nice mid-century / 70s round platters.

Most are Mikasa and others are marked USA. 

All in excellent condition. I love using these… so fun!

SUNDAY NIGHT POTTERY SCORE

I love to top off the weekend with a trip to 

2nd Ave Thrift . They are open til 8PM on Sunday!

I usually never leave there empty handed.

Pleasantly surprised to find these nice pieces of pottery.

Especially the McCoy flower pot priced at $1.90! YAY! 

It's a little beat up but still it's the REAL McCoy! :-)

RAINY FRIDAY

No luck at the thrift store today but on the 

way home stopped at a barn sale and found these!

LOVE the Butterfly Gold large baking pan!

Square Flowers too! Both in mint condition!

THURSDAY THRIFTING

Beautiful Haeger and McCoy vases!

Found them yesterday at Care & Share.

**Love**

GREEN

The light was so pretty the other morning.

Shining through the windows of my sun porch

and my green glass collection was glowing!

SUNDAY, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY

Big red Pyrex! Yay! Found it at 

Bally Brooke Indoor Market last Sunday.

Medium size green Pyrex and green glass... 

yesterday at Rice's!

Oh Care & Share! I love you! Haha!

I had my eye on the large size Butterfly Gold bowl 

for 2 weeks and was waiting for the green price sticker to go half price!

Got lucky today that it was a GREEN week and the bowl was still there!

Also found the orange Wheat pattern dish in mint condition!

Both of these were in the Care & Share 

outlet store... 99 cents!

:-)

PANDORA LOVES PYREX

She gets comfortable in the oddest places...  :-)

THURSDAY THRIFTING

Needed a fix! Ran over to the thrift store today!

Very happy with what I found!  :-)

GUEST COLLECTOR!

Stopped over at friends Anna and Jerry's house today. 

I love their place. A cute old house right in town filled with 

lots of eclectic stuff! I had gone there to see the fabulous piece 

of furniture that Jerry found in the trash on his way home 

from work... I will save that for another post! 

But I got a preview of what I hope will become 

2 awesome collections!! I love the way Jerry has 

started to display these funky, mid-century ceramic 

ash trays. Very cool! Great shapes and colors. 

I will be on the look out for these!

and, this pleasant surprise... 2 vintage projectors. 

Love these!! They are beautiful. 

A great start to a very interesting collection!

THURSDAY THRIFTING...

I've been meaning to stop at this place and today was the day.

The Sellersville Thrift Store located at

220 North Main Street, Suite A, Sellersville, PA.

I love it!  :-)

Picked up this great hobnail McCoy planter 

in pale blue (I have it in yellow)

and this nice Florida souvenir plate. 

Lots of other goodies there... I'll be going back!

Also located in the same building is 

The Treasure Chest, another smaller thrift store

with some nice stuff!

MORE PYREX

Fresh lima beans in small Butterfly Gold Pyrex bowl 

shelled and ready to cook...

...dropped into boiling water for 4 minutes 

then sautéed with a little olive oil, garlic and butter

and served in a small Butterprint Pyrex dish

VINTAGE PYREX

I am really enjoying using my vintage 

Pyrex bowls  this summer... just picked, farm fresh...  :-)

FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY

Beautiful Pyrex and green Floraline vase

WEEKEND FINDS

Went back out to Jake's again on Sunday 

but this time got there very early and it was in full swing!

I love Jake's! :-)

Then checked out this new indoor market 

(well not so new... it's been there 2 years but for some 

reason I've never seen it!!) Nice place! 

Good stuff! I will definitely go back!

More green glass!

McCoy and Imperial planters!

Yay! Floraline!

Fireking bowl

and, loving these garden sprinklers!!

It was a good day!

THURSDAY THRIFT

Lunch hour thrift store run!  :-)

WEEKEND FINDS

Quick trip to Jakes Flea Market yesterday. Unfortunately we got 

there late so we had to run around very quickly 

as the vendors were packing up. Still managed to score these 

beauties though!! Gotta get there earlier next time!

GUEST COLLECTOR!

It was great to finally get out to Harrisburg to see friends 

Colleen, Nicole and their kids!

What a beautiful home filled with family photos, 

gorgeous paintings and lots of love!

Oh, and this awesome vintage lunch box collection!!

Here are some highlights!

thanks for sharing Colleen!!

GUEST COLLECTOR!

I love visiting the home of friends 

Carol and Mark. (See blog post from 3/25/12)

Their sense of style reflects their personality, 

their love of nature and their love of animals.

They've got 4 dogs, 2 cats, birds, goats, chickens and ducks!

One of my favorite things in their home is 

Carol's collection of vintage ceramic dogs.

It's displayed in a gorgeous antique cabinet in their dining room.

All breeds! So fun!

Some close-ups!

Thanks Carol for allowing me to show your collection!  :-)

RED, WHITE & BLUE!

HAPPY 4th of JULY!

Wednesday Flea & Friday Thrift

Decided to go to the Golden Nugget 

on Wednesday morning instead of Sunday

and you know what... I like Wednesday's better!  :-)

Yay for this little black and white Pyrex Gooseberry bowl!

and took a quick spin over to Care & Share today!

I can't help myself! I have to go there at least once a week!

I love these Hoosier and Brody green glass vases!

And a piece of green Floraline is always a nice surprise!

A great start to the weekend!
