Nice!!!

I'm excited to show off this lid...


It's the Zodiac 2.5 quart!!  I found it yesterday at a Value Village when I was away - $5.99.  I couldn't believe it and it's in pretty near perfect condition.


I found this ladybug Vera there too, $2.99


This one arrived in the mail last week  - a small square with  a tiny Vera signature and no copyright - my first one of these..


Hex 404 arrived in the mail today.  I can count on one hand the pieces I've ever bought online, it's just too expensive for me - but the price and shipping were right on this. I paid $9.99.  I love the design!!!


We took a day trip yesterday - drove to Fort St. Joseph, it is located at the southernmost tip of  St. Joseph Island, on Lake Huron - it was the staging ground for the the initial attack in the War of 1812 - this year is the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.  It's very interesting!!!  Yes, that would be me - trying on the children's soldier costume!!  My face is usually not that shiny - it was so hot!!!


That's the view of the International Bridge between Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan - we travelled over, then we we were looking up at the bridge- we took the 2 hour Soo Locks Boat Tour - I highly recommend it!!!!  

I did run in to a Goodwill store there but sadly, no purchases were made!!  Didn't matter, I had a great day, but it was a really hot one!!

  3. I've never seen or heard of Hex before. It's... different.

    I just found a Zodiac recently. Yours was cheaper & in better condition!

  5. Thanks for posting about Fort St Joseph. I had no idea. Canadians who were not from Ontario like me didn't get a lot of detail on our history if it wasn't in our province. At least for me in BC ninety millions years ago that was the case. I will pop in there after I leave the youngest sprog at the University of Waterloo in August.

  7. Love the lid. I have not seen one like that. I am not familiar with Vera scarfs but I like the graphics on the bowl. Glad you had a fun trip.
    Hugs,
