Do you remember these stools? I do - I remember sitting on a stool just like this and talking on the phone - I could just pull the foot rest down whenever I wanted, relax and chat with my friends! I found this great old stool on Saturday at a yard sale - the past two Saturday's its been rainy here - but by the looks of the people that were out and about - it didn't matter..
The lady told me that lard came in these containers. Her mother in law had owned them - she had a piece of masking tape on each one - one was for dates, another for raisins - that tape has been there a long time - no amount of Goo Gone will take it off. These are so cute - the colors are so bright, there's no rust inside either.
These other goodies are resting on the stool - a 403 Pyrex bowl - it's an old one - it doesn't even say 403 - that's going to my daughter - she only needs the red bowl for the complete primary set. I also got a miniature pie plate and two Termocrisa bowls - they're a great size for a small bowl of cereal. I paid $7 for those items, including the stool - the stool alone was worth way more than that!
My next sale was a huge outdoor church fundraiser - it didn't start on time because of the rain - it was well worth it for me - I got some cute things - I paid $10 for the box of goodies.
A nice pair of Forest Fancies bowls
I'm adding to my Delphite collection - I found 2 larger plates and one side plate - they were hidden away in a box.
This little fridgie is a bit weathered but the price was surely right.
I love this seafood bowl!!
You can't tell by looking at this - but this little Thermos is about 5 inches tall and it's an Avon bottle - how cute is that??? It's one of my favorite purchases from the day!
I linked to Thrift Share Monday at Apron Thrift Girl
I can see by looking around on your blog that you are quite a Pyrex collector, the sets looks so beautiful......I know that I'll be hunting around for some more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment.
Wow, you found some great items!! I love that stool. I always keep my eyes open for those. Have you tried baking soda on the tape residue? Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteJill, I love all your amazing finds!! Quite a find on that stool! I'd love to have one like that, but I'd prefer a red one, lol!!
ReplyDeleteWow- what fab finds. Those jars look perfect for the tealight latterns I made!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nostalgia! I remember my Mom having the same cans (same lids, different colour cans) and using them as canisters for different things, but they originally had Crisco in them. I wouldn't have remembered them until I saw your pictures. It's always great to see something from childhood -- stirs up memories of helping her bake; remember how small kitchens used to be, and how little counter space, but how much cooking and baking was produced. Grew up in Sudbury -- notice I'm just down the road from you!
ReplyDeleteProtector of Vintage - thanks for the tip - I used baking soda - it worked!!! I never thought the tape would come off!
ReplyDeleteDeborah - I forgot to say that Proctor & Gamble was printed on the tin - I think they did make shortening and I suppose lard. I haven't seen those containers for years either! I have lived in Ontario for 29 years, originally from Prince Edward Island - small world - isn't it?
I remember those stools too. I actually just picked one up in red this weekend, but it hasn't been cleaned up yet.
ReplyDeleteI love that seafood bowl! It would be perfect on the table for tossing shells, etc into. Good score!
