I hope that everyone is enjoying this last holiday week before things get back to normal. I sure am ready for the kids to go back to school! Since they missed a whole week of school prior to vacation starting, it seems like my kids have been on Summer vacation instead of Winter! I need to get back into a normal routine. Treasure hunting and blogging have taken a backseat to putting my house back together and my newest obsession, Instagram (thanks, Melissa @ Andromeda Vintage!). If you want to follow Hanna & I, just click on the button on the right side of the page.
I normally love to give gifts way more than receiving them EXCEPT when it is Hanna giving me gifts. She is the BEST vintage gift giver ever (well, except for me). Just look at what she gave me this year...
Just when I think that I have all of the turquoise Pyrex there is out there, she surprises me with these Foulard mugs. Aren't they awesome? They are not small at all which is normally my issue with vintage mugs. And of course I would need the Betty Crocker Party Book! You just can't be a proper party girl without it.
Not one but two Fire King tulip bowls.
And just the two I needed to complete my set! Don't worry all of you OCDer's. After I realized that the bowls were not lined up perfectly, I got out my ladder again & fixed them.
You may remember seeing this on Hanna's blog post a few weeks ago. She found it at Goodwill and evidently my whining to her about not having it worked! She wrapped it up and gave it to me. Thanks, Sister!!
So this Pink Daisy Space Saver was actually an early To Me From Me gift. I bought it when Brian and I had our vintage weekend back in November but since Hanna gave me a strict no Pyrex buying until after the holidays rule, I had to hide it until after we opened gifts. I just couldn't pass it up and I needed it! I figured if she gave me the same one for Christmas, I would just give her one too and let her think we had bought each other the same gift. It would have been pretty funny had it worked out that way, don't you think?
Come back next time to see what Hanna & I have picked as our Top 10 Favorite Finds of 2013. It wasn't the best year for vintage treasures but I'm sure we can each come up with 5!
Linking up with Junkin' Joe at The Cottage Market & Pink Saturday at How Sweet The Sound.
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteTop 5 each huh..curious what you guys will come up with!
ReplyDeleteThat pink spacesaver was one of my early finds, it's not perfect by any means but I remember being so happy to find something pink! That was well before your fave - the pink fridgies!
ReplyDeleteI was just sitting here trying to decide what to do today. Seeing your post makes me want to hit the antique stores and thrift stores. Love your new stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love your collection!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
What wonderful gifts! Love it all. And I love that nasturtium tin in the picture with FK tulips bowls. I'd love to find anything from that set.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
wow, terrific Pyrex finds! And I'm really loving those Tulip bowls, I only ever see them at antique stores for huge $$$, so yay for you! Take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the makings of a great thrifting year to me. I love all of your pretties.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday. I am so glad you joined us today.♥
Love that you give each other vintage gifts. That is so great. I agree - vintage gifts are the best. Love the mugs. They are so cute. Also love the tulips! I just started a collection of those this year. I don't have them all yet. Can't wait to see your top 10.
ReplyDeleteNo, thank you! You guys are so much fun to follow on Instagram!
ReplyDeleteAnd those mugs...OH MY GRACIOUS! I need to find me some of those!
If I remember correctly, you two found alot of great stuff last year, so you might have a hard time picking just 5 each. Better do 10 each!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your vintage presents. It's SO nice when someone knows exactly what you like!
Those mugs! If someone gifted me mugs lik those for Christmas, I'd be their best friend for life!! Glad you had a good holiday!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a no-Pyrex-buying rule? That must be very difficult! I like how you worked around that!
ReplyDeleteYou always find the BEST Stuff ever!!! hugs and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, wonderful, fantabulous finds!!!!
