I had a great weekend. Saturday afternoon, I headed out to my two favorite antiques stores just about 10 - 15 minutes from my house. The first one I didn't find anything I couldn't live without. But then the last one, I was thrilled. I love Pyrex and over the year have collected Cinderella bowls and mixing bowls. But I also love the oval casserole dishes. I found this one in the Empire Scroll pattern. This pattern was produced in 1961. You can find it occasionally on Etsy or Ebay for $25 - $45 plus a shipping of $14 and up. It can get expensive. Found mine setting on a random shelf for $12. SCORE!
I have one already in the Town and Country Pattern and one in a FireKing solid white that belonged to my mom. But I need more. They are perfect for meatloaf, baked beans, scalloped potatoes, just to name a few good food.
They stack neatly inside of each other. Now I have 3. My goal is a total of 6 in various patterns. I'm half way there. More on that another day.
The next thing I found was this little juice glass. This is from the 1930-1934 time era. It was made during the depression and thus called depression glass. This is the sandwich glass pattern and it came free inside boxes of oatmeal to try to increase the sale of oatmeal during that time. Mom had bowls like this when I was little. Wish I still had one of those. This was just $1.00. I hope to find more so I can have a set.
But the thing that really made me happy was to find this adorable tea for one set. It's not antique but it is unique. Most of my tea for one's are a white background with a small flower pattern on it. Since I'm redoing my office in Victorian colors, this one is going with the color scheme in there.
This is where I sit it for now, but not sure it will stay there. I did pay $16 for it, but most tea for ones are $24.99 and up. So I didn't care to pay the $16. I just love it.
Well that was my weekend finds. I hope everyone has a great week.
