Pressed Flowers Promotional...I believe from 1959 |
Then I headed down the street to our little Flea Market shop. I haven't been in for awhile. Imagine my surprise to find a pink, rounded "Jetson" style bowl for $1! It had caked on spaghetti sauce, but I knew with some elbow grease, Bon Ami, and a Magic Eraser, I could get it as good as new. I actually think the dirty ones are the best. All the gunk seems to preserve the finish. I mainly had to use my fingernail and it was perfect underneath!

AFTER! What a beauty! |
Then I found this. Not my favorite pattern, but I've always like THIS particular bowl in this pattern....and I need another large cinderella when I cook...one isn't enough. It's very cheerful!
Mint condition, also at the Flea for $4.50!
My pink and turquoise collection is coming along nicely! All thrifted except the Blue Bird COME VISIT ME FOR MORE PYREX AND VINTAGE: www.gfpastorswife.blogspot.com |
