Summer 2012 Wishlist...

Every year at the beginning of summer, I like to post my treasure hunting wishlist. I'm a little behind on getting it posted because I've been busy with high school graduation stuff. I've finally had some time to pull it together, and here it is:

Orchard Ladder-preferably an old one with lots of character.

 Pink Striped Pyrex 403.

Blue Stripe Pyrex bowl set.

Vintage Fiesta Mixing bowls- a #5, 2 #6's, and 2#7's-any colors.

Vintage yard sticks.

Vintage Egg Scale.

Turquoise Harlequin Service Pitcher.

Other things I'll be looking for...

Quilts-especially yo yo and grandma's garden

Aprons

Hankies

Tablecloths

Fire King red dot splash proof bowls in the 2 largest sizes

Fire King Tulip splash proof bowls in the 3 smaller sizes

Fainting Couch

Old dresser or chest with wood framed mirror-attached

Dark purple old canning jars
Federal Mod Flower bowl set.

Of course there is always the thing I don't know about yet that might just strike my fancy!! How about you? What will you be looking for this summer? Maybe we can keep our eyes out for each other's wishlist items!!

Just What We Needed...

More bowls!!! Last week was a jackpot week for me for collections! I finally found a vintage Pyrex 404 in aqua (in my cheapo price range) and it arrived safe and sound! My aqua set is now complete! Wow--did that ever take a lonnnnng time!

Don't you wish Pyrex would make some bright, awesome designs again? I wrote them a letter last year telling them my opinion on that, but I never heard back from them. Maybe I should start a petition and get other Pyrex-aholics on board...wouldn't you love to see some new fun, bright Pyrex designs?


I also found this Fire King colonial bowl with a blue band (look how dirty it is!), and one with a pink band.

Then...I found a Fiesta #5!! I'm still pinching myself!!! It hasn't arrived yet-hopefully in the next couple of days!

Now that so many bowls have made their way into our house, I must get rid of some to make room. I am giving this Gibson set of nesting/mixing bowls to my sister-in-law. She fell in love with them when she was here last week, and I really don't have room for them. She's thrilled to get them too! I love it!!

Shhhh! Don't tell Kevin we got more bowls this week! He's so busy trying to get the second cabinet done for the sun room before his co-workers come over, and he was so focused on the 5K on Friday that he has been oblivious to the goings on around here.
