I went thrifting with one of my fabulous friends on Friday and look at what she bought me for my upcoming birthday!! I was so excited, I squealed! All of the bowls, except the yellow, look like they've never been used! All of these exclamation points, can you sense I'm still excited about my new bowls :0)
While taking pictures of my new bowls, I thought I'd share the rest of my collection with you. It's not large, but I'm working on it!
I found this Ahmish bowl, in my favorite color - aqua, at one of my favorite thrift shops for $2.
The Americana bowl came from my mom. She was going to donate it and I freaked. It was the "green bean" bowl when I was growing up. The cup came from the free shelves at our local thrift. Do you know the name of the pattern?
I know this beauty is not perfect (note the chipped edge on the right corner) but I love the red and the square shape to it. It cost a whopping $1!
Mr. Garden Gnome was too quick and jumped into this picture of my Pyrex - England piece. I don't think the dish has ever been used and am unsure of the pattern name, but I like the subtle beiges to the dish.
Please come visit me from time to time!
Congrats to be the first post on Pyrex II! (Besides the welcome, of course!) What a wonderful birthday present for you. I love your garden gnome, too. :)
