Vintage Bargains

                                                       Recently Daughter and I went to a
community sale
and found lots of bargains.
These colorful vintage Pyrex bowls caught my eye.
I'm trying to get away from plastic storage containers
Plus
They can be color coded to match your food!
Check this out for color coding
green bowl with red watermelon inside
etc., etc., etc......







Here's what I got for $1
(no, it's not cauliflower....it's coral!)
more coral


a clock

5 books for $1


And this beautiful box - not $1, but a good buy - will hold
remotes or recipes or whatever!

It was a great sale!
Hope you have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Linda

Hi Linda!
Thank you for your sweet visit to Girl in Pink! I've really enjoyed seeing your sale finds! Garage saling is just about my favorite activity and it's always fun to see what other people pick up, too! It's such a pleasure to meet you! I'll be back to visit again soon!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
p.s. I think you were the first to comment on the French sheet music...I thought it was pretty special too! I'm trying to decide whether or not I can part with it! Most likely it will end up at my antique store space in the next month, but for now I'm enjoying it on my dining room buffet! I'm on the lookout for a frame worthy of it!

Ches said...

Wow, you really scored big time at the sales. I adore pyrex dishes and like the idea of color coding the food to match or coordinate with the food. Stopping by from the nesters party, hope to see you stop in and say hi.

Cindy (Applestone Cottage) said...

Hi Linda,
Great deals! I just found 3 pyrex bowls at a garage sale yesterday, we must think alike!
And that clock and old books, you really scored!
Hugs,
Cindy
