My Weekly Finds and More

Here's what I got last week!  Not too bad!

Blue Garland Snowflake 474 and 443 came from a garage sale, $2 a piece.  The Friendship fridgie was a major shock to find--it is a bit faded, but a little coconut oil and at $2.70 I'm totally good with it.  Just having one (since I won't buy online) is counted as a success to me!  Another 024, they have been coming to me rather steadily lately.  It and the Friendship I found lids for on different shopping trips at different locations.  The old yellow fridgie lid on the primary.  There is a square lime pan, the large pan was in too rough of shape to take home.  I don't need a 502 Butterprint, but I couldn't leave it. Last, the Blue Garland Snowflake sugar bowl with lid.  I have the creamer already.  I'll replace the Blue Onion set with the Blue Garland.  I use these regularly as little mixing bowls for salad dressings, mixing cocoa etc.

I also checked out the vintage and antique malls in our neighboring town.  I bought a cradle as it was in great shape at $4.95.  I never see them at the thrift and this size is a practical size for me to use.  If I'm correct, it is the cradle for Golden Rosette 043 which I do have.

Yes, the other item I got not when I went, but the next day when hubby said we would go back.  I showed him the Pineapple Party Chip and Dip set on line and told him the big bowl was at the mall.  He insisted I get it.  It's the most I've spent on a 404 which was $12.  If I'm lucky enough to ever find the 401 for it, I'll buy the reproduction hanger thingy!

It was a pretty exciting week for me!

  1. How lucky are you to actually have garage sales to go to this time of year AND ones that have Pyrex :-)

    It was fun meeting another blogger yesterday. Hope you found some good stuff at the flea!

  2. Oh how I can't wait for the warmer weather Erica--and garage/yard sales! Things are certainly pretty slow right now.

    It was so fun running into yesterday, had no idea we had a mutual acquaintance!

    1. I know Jacquelyn, I still can't believe I actually have a Friendship 503!! No way I expected that at all!

  4. Wow, what a great haul!! I bought the reproduction bracket for my own chip and dip set-I have the Early American pattern-I use it all the time! I was so glad that someone makes them :)

    1. Maureen, I should plan to get the bracket thingy soon, there are enough other bowls I have I could use it with!
