Garage Sale Season

Garage sale season has finally arrived. I only went to 2 this morning but hopefully there are more to come. I didn't find much I wanted and haven't found anything for resale.

I didn't think this lid was Pyrex because it wasn't marked but the dish was. From what I gather, it's a promotional piece called Nouveau Floral.

I found these Holt salt and pepper shakers at an antique mall. I went back the next day and bought the large Fire King Tulip bowl. I wish I could find the others.

I'm almost certain there is a lady in the back room at the thrift store hoarding all the Pyrex. My friend told me about a Butterfly Gold cinderella casserole set and when I came back when she was supposed to be working, she wasn't there. I was told she was no longer going to be working there. And the Pyrex was never put out. But little Miss Hoarder missed these 3 Pyrex cups.

Some Finds

My sister found the light yellow bowl at the consignment shop.

I was excited to find these opal bowls thinking they were Pyrex. A member in a Facebook group thought they were Hazal Atlas.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this Salton warming tray.  It works but the knob falls off and the cord doesn't connect correctly.

I've been looking for a vintage Kitchen aide mixer but was happy to find this Sunbeam one.

I've never seen England Pyrex in the wild until today. Although it's newer (1980s) I like it. It's white.

And a metal colander which is actually a bad idea for draining hot items.

Thrift Store Finds

I haven't found any Pyrex lately but here are some other things I bought. The Mickey Mouse head is a lunch box. Unfortunately, the thermos with it is not original to the kit. The wooden trinket box has the Serenity prayer inscribed on it. These are all for sale including the tiki mugs.

I found a Neil the frog cookie jar at Goodwill a few weeks after purchasing one on Ebay. A few days later, I found the ceramic canisters.

I paid way to much for the elf but I had to have him. This is the first time I have seen a big one in person.

I love these Little Golden Books. They look brand new. The little jewelry box, owl, bowl and cruets are listed on Ebay.

Estate Sale Finds

I walked about a mile Friday to an estate sale. I was hoping to avoid a crowd so I got there an hour after they opened. I still had to sign in. I was number 93 and had to wait maybe 10 - 15 minutes. While I was in line, I saw a friend leaving and he was empty handed. He said all the good stuff was gone.

I managed to find 3 things: a glass door bookcase, a Cotsco step stool and a tiki vase.

Since I had walked, I had to go back with my sister to get the bookcase. We then went to another estate sale where we didn't get anything. After that, we went to the Dime and Dollar where I found a Woodland small Pyrex casserole dish.

Thrift Finds

Some things I found out thrifting.

Pyrex

Deer. I found the big one Monday and then the smaller yesterday.

Ketchup and mustard holder. Goodwill sold the bottles separate from the table. I didn't see the bottles at first and on the second look through, I saw them at the end of the aisle and went back and grabbed the table.

Vintage stuffed animals which are listed on ebay

Addicted To Pyrex

I'm trying so hard to stop buying Pyrex but when it's half off day at the thrift store, it's pretty hard to do.

I found the Corning Ware dish, Homestead casserole and Pyrex lids at the thrift. The mixing bowls I paid full price at Goodwill.

The green is a 404 and I believe it goes to the reverse primary set. The red bowl is a 403.

The Salt To My Pepper

A few weeks back, I found a Tupperware pepper shaker at the thrift store. I looked all around and asked the manager if they had the salt. I came up empty handed.

Today, I went back to the thrift store and found the salt.

I also found Mrs Rabbit. I had bought Peter there awhile ago. I purchased the blanket and the My Banky cow at Goodwill.

This isn't Pyrex but for .99c I couldn't pass it up. It's marked Mother of the Bride. Also, found this cradle marked Corning Ware.

At Goodwill, I found these Pyrex containers and this little bowl. They had some casserole dishes but two were badly faded and the third was more than I wished to pay.
