SWEET SATURDAY

I am going shopping today and it is so nice up here now. Just perfect weather, already sunny 57 at 7 AM I will be back to post a blog later on today. I am off to the stores! Bargain hunting....I love to do that! I like to go to yard sales as well. I am always finding something neat that I just can't live without. Another man's trash is someone's treasure as it is said. Today I was on a quest for studio supplies I found a brand new nice black ink pad for $1.00 wish I had bought the colors they had too. I was looking for notecard sets and I didn't like what I found. I will have to go shopping this week again and look in some other stores. I am going to check out Etsy for some bargains tonight. Then get a good nights sleep....I am tired.

Timeless Treasures

At this time of the year I believe I am more affected by the past than any other time of the year...probably just like many other people. I am very nostalgic. I am going to be presenting vintage all month long on my blog. First and foremost there is a website www.rubylane.com you must visit. Just like ETSY you can join for free. Rubylane is full of vintage and antiques shops. It is always my first stop when I want to know about an old piece of timeless treasure I have acquired. Pictured here we have what I call functional vintage. A vintage Pyrex gravydish and saucer in the Crazy Daisy design and a vintage Pyrex princess casserole done in the pink Gooseberry design. Functional vintage means to me that not only are these pieces collectible but also they still can be used in todays modern kitchen. I recently found these two pieces of timeless treasures to add to my collection. I used them at my Thanksgiving table this year. For other vintage pieces start with www.gnormyle.etsy.com and check out the new vintage items available at Glenna's Garden at this time of the year. Best wishes for happy holidays to all!
