Road Trip to Pyrex Heaven

Over the weekend I went on a little road trip with my friend Jennifer, her sister and mom.  Our destination:   Lanesbro in order to see a play – more on that later.

On the way down and back we stopped to do some antiquing I found quite a few things:  some I brought home, some I left at the store.  Here are  just a few things I left at the store:

A creepy, life sized doll completely made of cloth with a angry scowl on her face…. or maybe that’s just over plucked eyebrows.  I do have to say I love how her hair is done, but not enough to want to bring her home.

Loads of vintage hats, gloves and purses.  I loved these hats, they were all so colorful sitting on this shelf, remnants of a past era when it was very fashionable to wear a hat.  Not so fashionable anymore, but who knows, maybe it’s a look that may be on it’s way back.  Until then I’ll enjoy visiting them.

A basket full of Pez dispensers.  Was it Seinfeld that collected Pez dispensers?  Do they even sell Pez candies anymore?

 

A ceramic peach, sitting on a plate.   It stayed, enough said.  (If you laughed for a good 5 minutes then you got just as much enjoyment from it was we did).

Heaven.  I didn’t bring home everything – but I did bring home …..

A set of 4 bowls and three serving dishes – one divided – in my favorite color: Turquoise.

I am putting these bowls away for now, if I don’t one by one they will be destroyed by my two boys who have systematically destroyed pretty much everything I own.   I only have a couple of years before they move out, in the meantime I’ll work on building a nice display for them in the dream kitchen they’ve inspired me to build.

    I don’t think she’s scowling. She looks like a drag queen to me! (and I mean that in the best possible way – known too many drag queens not to love them)

    They still sell Pez. The flavor remains unimproved I’m afraid.
