Target Birds on Holiday

Susan at Between Naps on the Porch is hosting Target Birds on Holiday. These adorable salt and pepper shakers purchased at Target are flying the coop and having a grand holiday! Please visit Between Naps on the Porch to read about the many adventures these birds are having.

However, my birds did not take a holiday because their money had to be spent paying taxes!

Have a great day!

Thirfty Finds

I found three Pyrex dishes that I haven't share with you that have been in my collection for awhile. The pattern is Butterfly gold. I know that the 2 bottom bowls are called Cinderella bowls but what is the one on the top called? If you know please let me know. I know I have said that it is getting harder to find Pyrex at cheap prices or at all. My thrift stores are not having many items pass through their doors. I hope I don't have to pay high antique prices to feed my habit!

Thursday~Music Program at school so out afterwards

Friday~Out

Have a great week!

Easter Blessings

Happy Easter to you and your family.

Thrifty Finds

Picked these two Glass Bake dishes up at the Goodwill. I don't remember how much I paid for them but I know it wasn't a lot. They are not Pyrex but look nice with my growing Pyrex collection. I thought they would be great to use in the Fall since they have a brown design on them. It's getting harder to find Pyrex in the thrift stores and I am finding other things to buy, not good!

Synopsis from Barnes and Noble:
From day one grad students Doris and Ronnie felt as if they didn't fit in at Langsdale University. Hailing from a pulsating urban scene-Doris from Brooklyn and Ronnie from L.A.-both struggled to find their groove in the calm and untroubled waters of the flyover state Indiana. But as best friends Doris and Ronnie pursue their degrees amid country fairs they find that their education is about to take a decidedly book-free, non-researched turn...
