Lately I am adoring kitchen tins printed with red roses. I picked up two more today during a trip to Tiny Town. This was a long-promised trip to Tiny Town, because the boys, like everyone in their right mind, were wanting to make a 41-mile uphill bike ride in the heat.
They did it this morning, and the girls and I came along in the car. We tanked up on barbecue, then divided and conquered the antique mall where everything costs either $4 or $8. I have my four oldest children trained to alert me to the things they know I will like, which is why I now have two more tins, a copper bread box, some vintage fabric, and two yellow Pyrex bowls.
All done by delegating!
You're such an accomplished homemaker AND you've got a wonderful sense of humor! I can fully appreciate the importance of training your loved ones to know your tastes in antiques and all things vintage. :)
ReplyDeletePyrex is my bad habit. I've been known to spend hours perusing eBay and once, spend a fairly ridiculous amount of money on a full set of near mint primary colored nesting bowls.
ReplyDeleteI love them. :)
Would love to see pictures of your 2 new pyrex bowls!

My husband and two of his friends once rode their bikes from New Orleans to Pensacola for the fun of it. We women enjoyed ourselves paying in the sand and eating delicious seafood while waiting on our valiant crusaders to finish their journey. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the tin with the yellow flowers- a beauty! I, too, love pyrex. I know exactly what I am looking for when I go thrifting. My hubby will declare everything junk or overpriced before I even step in the door! But not I, one man's junk is many times my treasure!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the pyrex.
ReplyDeleteLovely! My mom's got a shelf of tins, but most of them are vintage product tins rather than just-for-pretty.
ReplyDeleteso pretty! and, i'm a little jealous of an antique mall where everything is either $4 or $8. trying to to covet. ha ha. sounds like a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteAnother one here asking to see the Pyrex! It is my bad habit as well. Especially the Friendship patter.
