I am stumbled upon a really awesome find today. This one even came in the box. THE BOX! This is called a 2 Quart Casserole & Warmer. Aqua! This holder is way more fun than the others I found the other day. I would have never known this set was complete Pyrex. I am learning what all the pieces came with Pyrex. There are a few types of holders. I never found Pyrex in its original box. I must say I got all crazy excited over the used cardboard. Yeah I am keeping the box. I know. I know. Its a box. But its Pyrex. I found a really fun blog that also loves Pyrex. She has some really fun stuff. Check it out here!

Underneath the bowl is a metal circle piece that is slotted. That comes out and you slip a candle in the brass base. There is still one in there. This bowl is dirty. Looks as if someone used it once and put it back in the box. Minus the washing. The inside is sparkling clean. Weird. Maybe they just tested it and used it for something like bread? They lit the candle and there is a little ring mark at the bottom of the Pyrex dish. But it all came out with soap and water.

My 9th grader is at his first day of school today! I am so happy I found a school that is a good fit for him. We are still homeschooling just getting help in the subjects I am not able to teach. I am still teaching History and Science. I found a bunch of used books at the thrift store to help me. My friend also told me of Half.com. Its an Ebay company that sells used books. School books are totally reusable. Once I finish with mine I will sell them there and get new ones as well from there. I had no idea this site even existed.

I found a book for me!

I am going through this yellow phase still. I found some really pretty vintage bangles. I wish they were Bakelite. They look it just don't feel it.

I love little pretty trinket boxes. This is cute and round and opens nice and closes nice. I have no idea why I had to have it. Just had to.

Its been a while since I have found worthy scarves. I found some today. No Vera in there. Maybe next time. These are so soft. The wind was trying to take them away.

So there I sat reading my Greystone's Creative hands books last night and it keeps referring to other pages in other book in the series. I only picked out the ones I liked. Big mistake. So I had to go back and see about getting the rest of what was left at the store. Thankfully all of them were there since my last visit. But there was never a full set to begin with. There are 22 books in this set. I am missing 8 of them. I have found some of them online. I am sure I wont get my $1.00 a book price and then there is that pesky shipping fee. I will have to dive into these books to see what I am missing. There is a bunch of crafts they teach you in these books. More than what I thought and very informative and helpful. Vintage crafts projects. Its a knitting, dress makers and needle craft book. They have full size patterns and lots of interesting techniques to learn. And of course update for today's crafter.

I found the top Robins egg blue Tupperware jello mold container for .49 cents today. I now have 2.

Vintage wrapping paper that has the cutest mushrooms. Also a vintage folk art painting book.
