A Pyrex Beauty but What Is It?

This beauty was bought this morning at a church sale for 50 cents!   I was taken to the colour because after all it is a Pyrex colour, it was strange to me because the wheat part is metal.   I lifted it up to inspect it, it had a candle warmer in the bottom, that flew out and shattered all over the floor.  Great!!  I didn't even know what it was at that point, when I lifted the cover off,  I was sure surprised!  

The glass insert is Pyrex - it says 595 - Trademark Pyrex, Made in USA - and then A-X below that, it measures approximately 10 inches across - have you ever seen anything like this?  The top handle is sort of wobbly and has a big blob of putty of some sort on it, that will have to come off!  I didn't NEED this dish at all, but I couldn't pass it up, mainly because of the beautiful colour and the price!!  I think it was a really good find!!

I didn't hesitate to grab this Snoopy mug - 25 cents.

This old Fisher Price Radio actually works - it plays Humpty Dumpty  - price - 25 cents!

Finally, there is a sign of warm weather and nice days.....

Look What I Found!

Do you like the selection of bed sheets now?  They mostly all seem to be solid colours now and every set of sheets is about the thread count, when did that word become so important in the world of sheets?   I bought a nice pair after Christmas, a higher thread count than I've ever bought before - I don't like them - they're rough, wrinkly and why can't we find sheets made in Canada or the US any more, the ones I bought were made in China.   So, when I saw these yesterday at Value Village - new in the package - they caught my attention, I hesitated at first but came to my senses, real quick!

What are the chances of finding an unopened vintage pair of Wabasso sheets that were made in Canada?   Not much chance, really, but I found a set!   I know the price is a bit high for Value Village but, it's a deal, good sheets are expensive!  If you click on the pic, you can see the last part of the Kmart sticker, Kmart hasn't been in Canada for a long time, somebody  had these packed away in their linen closet for a while...

Into the washer they went..

Now they're on the bed - I think I was drawn to them because I remember Mom having Wabasso sheets and I used to have a yellow room.    I was worried that the elastic might be gone in the bottom sheet and that it might not fit on the larger mattress of today - no need to worry, everything was perfect!  They're so bright, I'm so glad I bought them, I wonder what kind of sleep we'll have tonight...

I paid 50 cents for this Made in Japan children's mug

We have all these games but I bought them for...

smashing - I'm planning to do a couple of pages on boardgames, because we love our boardgames!!

These old tags and stickers will be going to the Smash book too.  I paid only $4 for the games and stickers - there are lots of possibilities at the thrifts for smashing...

Does anyone out there know anything about these dolls??  I bought the one on the left yesterday, only because I knew she looked like my doll that I've had since I was a little girl and sure enough, they're the same - maybe sisters??  I spent a long time last night checking out Pinterest, Ebay, Google Images  - I can't find this doll anywhere.  I used to call her Debbie but I don't really know if that was her real name or just a name I used.  I have a couple more outfits for mine, including that very same skirt.

The doll is about 8 inches tall - the face are rubber, the body is not.  There are no  markings at all on their bodies.  Look at the snaps, the clothes are so cute!  Every time I've had a question like this before, someone has come through, I'll be waiting....

Last week I found a couple more Vera's for my collection

Remember the dayI found all those scarves?  I must have missed this one - but, they're all gone now....

This is such a different Vera and I have to say thank you to Paulette over at  Cheerful Thrifty Door.  Paulette found this at an estate sale and was so kind to send it to me - it's one of the more unique scarves I have.

Paulette sent me this beautiful Easter card - she found these cards which were just perfect for her because she is of Polish descent.  It's sweet!

I'll say it again - people that I've "met" in the blogging world are so generous and kind - thank you so much, Paulette.
