It's been too long!

I know it's been way too long, but so much has changed since my last post, and I really just needed to live life for a little while. I am no longer living in North Carolina! I will be living in California for the rest of the year and then who knows!! :) I do have a few pics of some of my California finds. I'm also attaching a couple of pics of things I brought with me to the west coast. I drove here from NC, so I only brought what I could wedge into the car. What's a girl to do when she has to leave most of her Pyrex collection at home? Buy more, of course! ;)



This is a photo from an antique store in Orange, California. Ohhh goodness. What an amazing and beautiful collection! 

Here are some thrift store finds! All this for under $3!
Another antique store photo. Wow.
Ok, this is not a vintage bottle. I saw it in Country Living Magazine and had to get it! It's at World Market for $5.99. I actually went back last night and bought another one. Way better than drinking from plastic!
Some Cali Pyrex finds!
I use my Vintage Pyrex everyday.
My kitchen counter top. Vintage melamine, Spring Blossom Green Pyrex, vintage Tupperware, and silverware in a vintage glass canister.
Pyrex!!!!! My new favorite is the daisy casserole. I found this adorable owl trivet for $10.
Thrift store mugs. 65 cents each!
   
New fiesta with my favorite vintage syrup holder. Cute. I love turquoise. :)

    Love the Terra Cotta Rose dish! Been lusting after one for awhile.

    I loved my last vacation to California - and a great place to thrift is the Rose Bowl Flea in Pasadena. It's the second Sunday of every month. I found LOTS of great Pyrex there.
