Collecting Vintage Pyrex

Vintage Collections

When I shared a picture I liked of pink pyrex on Pinterest there seemed to be a lot of interest in the subject. I decided I would showcase my own vintage pink and aqua pyrex collection which was greatly enhanced by a trip to the Brimfield Antique Show this past fall. Most of these are from the late 50's to the very early sixties. I really like so much of the 50's style.

Thrifting Thursday

I only went to one thrift store this week and it is my favorite.

 Even though it is a very small store there is a lot of stock

 turnover and I almost always find something good. 

 The prices are great! Just a few dollars can buy so much.

 Also it doesn't hurt that it is only 5 minutes from my home.

This week it was books:

The timing of "Serger Gifts and Crafts" was perfect as I have

 a new serger I haven't  tried yet....... must get to that. 

In the Serger book there are so many ideas with illustrations

 and clear instructions.  I love to learn from books!

One size fits all apron

The small quilting book has lots of great tips and there are illustrations for  all of them:

I thought this little snowman family was kind of cute in the 

1985 "Women's Circle Crochet" Christmas Annual:

If I do this I will probably update the accessory colors a bit.

The "Easy Bazaar Crafts Book" had patterns for some cute little dolls and furniture:

Some of the furniture was made with felt which I love to work with.

To finish it off I was happy to find a classic by Anne Bronte that I haven't read. I did see the movie

 and liked it so I am sure I will like the book even more. I usually do with the classics.

HAPPY THRIFTING!

IT'S A LEGO FRIENDS BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Creating a Lego Friends Birthday Party presented 

it's challenges as there didn't seem to be anything

 available to buy that would help with the decor. 

To the rescue........my computer and printer. 

Lego Friends Birthday Table

Lego Friends table decoration card

The table card is printed on both sides and has a lego base to hold it up.
 Around the base are scattered candy blocks.

The party favors were small lego sets and the characters and animals

 from the sets are used as a table decoration.
