Some Pyrex, Some Vera and Some Other Stuff

I think it's about time I sit down and share what I thrifted last week.  We started kitchen renovations here on the weekend, it's hard to concentrate on composing, taking pics and all that stuff when there's saws and hammers making a lot of noise, and well, let's not even talk about the dust!!

I was so lucky at Value Village last week - I haven't found a casserole of any type in there for quite a while, I turned the corner to housewares and started walking fast at that point - here's why..

I'm going to call this Kelly Green - it wasn't quite so bright when I brought it home and when I look at the picture closely, I can still see some areas that I need to scour a little bit more. It's a 024 - 2 qt. casserole - I see one in the Pyrex Guide with a Jetson like warmer but the lid is different -I wonder if this one goes with that??    I paid $4.99.

I said I wasn't going to buy Cinderella bowls but guess I can't help myself and for a $1 each, what's a person to do??  But, I really can't buy any more 444's - they just take up too much room.

Today was a great mail day - my blue Dots 403 arrived all the way from sunny Florida - thanks Sharon, for the great trade!!

Now onto my thrifted scarves - I was lucky enough to find a couple of Vera's, which I'm keeping for myself, the others are going to my Etsy shop.  The first Vera is huge - about 27 x 27 - way bigger than any of the other ones I have..

I found some other odds and ends too - a couple of old games for $1 each - we tried "Ginny-O" on the weekend - it wasn't too bad, we'll definitely play it again. " Pit" is a commodity trading game with the cutest orange bell - we'll be waiting for Carla and her Darcy to come home to play that one!!

Carla will probably be getting this cookbook for her collection too - but not before I go through it first.  I paid 50 cents.  Don't the recipes always look so elaborate in these old cookbooks?
