The only things I came home with..

The only things I came home with.., a photo by SunshineNellie on Flickr.

Because I can't figure out how to blog and add in photos from Flicker i'm going to do it this way :)

So over the weekend of the 20th my Mother in law and I went in 50/50 on a two day booth at the Clark County Fair Grounds. The only things I was looking for at this so called Garage sale AKA) Flea Market/Rummage Sale was Pyrex! Pyrex Pyrex Pyrex! I collect the Woodland set and the Crazy Daisy Pyrex. I love the 70's colors..just my thang I guess! (I know i'm not alone on the favorite) This sale had a good 50 booths, one of which was ours but, thats a different post! There was 1....ONE booth that had nearly nothing but pyrex and I had high hopes of that prior to getting there at 7Am Saturday morning. The lady had the basics I find..and only one set of the ones I collect- The crazy daisy.. and she wanted WAY too much for them! $60 for 3 Cinderella bowls..  She said to me "i'll give you a good deal because your a fellow vendor" -we-vendors had to wear bracelets that said so and keep it on for the whole weekend- I passed on that "deal" and went about my bussiness. As I was walking back to our booth I saw the small 750ML woodland bowl ..MINT condition $3.00- Yay for me! and the Crazy Daisy came from another fellow booth that had lovely vintage glass- a lot of milk glasses- I got the Daisy for $4.00. (was 8.00 heck no! I wouldn't have paid that!) So, these are the only things I came home with which is satisfactory because I wasn't looking to spend all the money I had made on Pyrex! :) 


 

Up to good ....good...rather than no good?

ITS HOT! Its Oregon! seriously! I think summer JUST got here!
..I don't mind the sunshine though...just don't like getting sweaty if i'm not working out.
So....I had a fantastic day with my bestie and husband ...
We went thrifting and I was in the mood to find some great Pyrex because i'm a little hooked.. I got rid of a lot of it back in the day and now feel SO very sill for it...

Pyrex visions pink birds and flowers ..score got it 1/2 off! $5.00

So, today I got these...

Pyrex Spring Blossom Crazy Daisy (I don't think the lid goes but..whatever) Score got it for $3.00

Sandalwood Pattern bowl-Score got it 1/2 off at a thrift shop=$3.00

The odd one..it is vintage pyrex but its stamped France instead of the USA possibly flameware? Score got it 1/2 off=$3.00

 ....so, the daisy bowl has some wear, some of the flowers near to the bottom are fading and I didn't want to hurt the details of the bull. I've struggled with my 1/2 gallon vintage wire ball jar being a PAIN to get my spools out of I had to have this bowl for a measly $3.00 and had the bright idea of "Hey! I can put my thread spools in it!" and it matches the bright colors in my studio (Aka-use to be a dining room! CHECK IT OUT HERE ) so....im stoked..a little excited for such a simple pleasure and idea-I know its not unique but...I LOVE it...
I have a shout out ........................ Nicole from Made by Nicole! ! I LOVE THAT DARN PIN CUSHION I won off your blog a few months back! I use it like its going out of style..which no fear! it will not.. if ya'll ever view my blogs and see photos..it will be seen in MANY of them :) Love it so very much..Keep up that talent!

.................... The other little things I found today ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^"Baby" wire jars!!! how freakishly cute are these things! I just want to hold them and think of all the possabilities! I stumbled upon a WHOLE BOX of these! but at $1.99 each it would have cost me a pretty penny and well... I don't need 30 of these things! I thought $8 was enough to splurge on these things. They have "Wheaton USA" on the bottom. too cute for words I must say!

I also wanted to add.....
I have been partaking in the fun of Purse Palooza 2012 click on over and  See Sara over at Sewsweetness  for the details- the entry period ends the 11th of July..so only a couple more days! I had made 4 bags for myself, 3 of which are used from the same pattern. A pattern I had created and now..adore! my best friend Aubrey decided she wanted me to make her one too so, we headed to the craft store! and she picked out fabrics from Flea Market Fancy! ................this is what the finished product looked like!

The bag has 3 interior pockets, 1 large exterior pocket, and one full size as the bag zipper pocket on the backside. I decided to use the remmnants and make her a tissue cozy,zip up bag and a key fob for her keys... It was hard forking it over!

This part of Oregon where I live had a Serious Thunderstorm warning...bummed...didn't reach us before it broke up..shcucks! was really looking forward to it..... well anyhooty hoot.... its late...

Have a good night ya'll!
