Wrapping it up


I don't know about you, but I am wrapping it up for Christmas. Everything is coming down today. All the boxes are going back into storage and my house is getting back to normal.

It's been a quiet week. I missed Chatting on the Porch with Patrice and the Wednesday Hodge Podge. I'm hoping they will both be back next week. I did enjoy Five Question Friday and it made me want to buy a pair of Tom's. I went to their site and saw several pairs I liked.

I went nuts over this pair. If I was going to splurge on shoes, this is the pair I would probably buy. They would look adorable with jeans.


I don't particularly like this next pattern, but I love the fur lining. 


These would be cute for spring. Especially since I own a lot of nautical outfits. I may have to get these. 


Well, I spent some time last night narrowing down my Pyrex list so I can be more specific about what I'm looking for. Topping my list are two pieces I need to complete two sets. First is the 444 Cinderella Bowl in Colonial Mist. That is the one I want the most right now.


And second will be the green bowl for the primary colors set. I understand that is the hardest one to find in that set. 


Then I want to start on some new collections, but not necessarily whole sets...just a piece of two. I want a bowl of any kind in the Lucky in Love set. I want it to display for Valentine's and St. Patrick's day.


I want something in the rainbow strips to use to decorate for Easter. I would fill it with Easter grass and some cute wooden eggs.


If I couldn't find the rainbow stripes, I would go with Gooseberry or Butterprint.


For spring, I would like to do a display with the daisy print. 



Then for Mother's Day, I would like to decorate with a pretty friendship bowl because my Mom is one of my best friends. 


For summer, I think I would like the Eyes pattern. 


Then when fall rolls around, I would want to have some of the wheat bowls. 


Then for Thanksgiving I would like to have something in the Woodland Pattern.


And for Christmas, any of the Christmas patterns would be awesome to find.


And I already have the snowflake bowl for January decor.


That might seem like a lot of new Pyrex, but it is only 11 new pieces that I'm looking for. Considering most of my finds are under $10 (a lot of them just $2 or $3), it's not much of an investment at all.
