Orange and Black

Hello everyone, long lost Sister Hanna here.  The last few weeks have been filled with family time, weddings, work, and rain.  I think today is the first time I've seen the sun in a week!  Thrifting finds have been slim, but thank goodness I have a Sister that brightens things up with Pyrex gifts!
 I really have been acquiring quite the record collection, but man do they take up space!  I wish you could all hear my beautiful singing voice right now like my husband can, Men at Work was such an exciting find!  The black tulip is the beauty Sister picked up for me at the awesome estate sale where she found me my second Saxony (wink wink.)  The town and country fridgie was a lone survivor at my Goodwill.  The little bar cart deserves a close-up.
Really, a bar cart for a dollhouse?  I think it might need a mini decanter and glasses!
As I said slim pickings around here.  I thought I would pull some of my orange and black Pyrex out to get in the Halloween season.  My husband came home and asked if I was decorating for football season (our team is the Oregon State Beavers and their colors are orange in black.)  I said sure, of course, just so he wouldn't pay too close attention to some of these pieces that may have come out of hiding.

Erica is headed my way on Friday.  Here's to hoping she brings some good luck with her!
Always a Pleasure!
Hanna

  5. I JUST started collecting pyrex a few months ago (it started with a butterprint fridgie -no lid- and has grown to include a complete fridgie set -with lids- and a few divided casseroles), and all of my pieces are aqua. But NOW, your post makes me want to get some in orange and black!!
    Have a wonderful week :) --Fran

  6. Hopefully the weather holds out for you guys and the thrifting is good! You'll be getting into trouble together though, so my guess is no matter what you'll all be happy.
    Love your fall display! Makes me wish I had some orange Pyrex...

  7. What a cool idea, fall decorating with your Pyrex! Great answer to hubby too, lol. Men At Work & Steve Miller? Couldn't have left them either.

  10. Love the orange and black. Haven't been by for awhile to your site. Life just has a habit of getting in the way. I closed out my Thrifty Country Gal and went back to my www.mamawsplace4.blogspot.com. Long story short, I missed Mamaw's place. It seemed my posts were more fun and not such a chore. Go figure. Anyway, been browsing through your posts to catch up on what I missed. You such awesome stuff.
