the lovely stack of verde crazy daisy and old orchard...
a little bright fuscia lefton china saucer...no sadly i dropped the bag the cup was in and the little cute pedestal broke in three pieces...outrage as i made a second trip back just to get the cup and saucer...the edge of the saucer looks much darker in the photo due to my android horrid phone camera...it is the brightest pretty color! 
a little humor....which reminds me i do have many duplicates of pyrex!!! i always tell it sorry you are not my first but i bring it home anyways...i see a pyrex joke here....me and my sense of humor...
federal glass, pyrex.and in pink! of all things. ..and a little bit of rescued china in the background...rescued as in the store was going to toss the whole box of it due to a few chips on the edges. i saved it from sheer destruction 
pyrex amish butterprint and a little hers pitcher
napkin holder
oh corelle and matching pyrex...i have too much of you in this pattern. i will round you all up and offer you to a group somewhere...for auction or sale. or to someone very lucky i may know! 
i found this language, boilable, bacteria resistant interesting for this vintage chopper. 
some melmac or melamine on top of pyrex
great quote...that can get me in too much trouble...
found this, waited a whole week and it was still there...waiting for me. i have the large canister as well to go with it. building collections from vintage Sears items, one piece at a time...
federal housewares label still inside the veggie chopper.
always think outside the box....and yes the cat reminds me when his box needs cleaning...maine coons are very smart cats! 
i have successfully stayed up all night. for no reason. and that is exhausting too. bet there is a new moon coming soon.
hung this tin tray for campbells soup on my wall, it came complete with the wire hanger, i used some removable sticky tape with a hook good up to .5 pounds to hang it. love that it wont ruin the wall if i take it back down. 
love this sign someone posted from hawaii...i may put up a sign like that for a yearly spring garage sale to clear out some old furniture that just isnt working here since finding new old furniture that works better. and to thin out my collections...that seemed to all have multiplied in duplicates....who knew i didnt have one of those already? me, so i got a second one and then had twins...yeah, that happens here....i will so be making one of these signs...on poster board no less, just have not found myself one of these store signs yet or i would probably have that too already. 
found this big oversized tray...love it. it is a little banged up and has a couple scratches but how could anyone simply not just love this tray? it is going on my wall too. i will soon have no wall space left. upon one visitor to my home, i received the comment you have a lot of artwork. oh really, i like artwork, it is educational. and inspires me. guess i did it right in displaying as it was considered art and wasn't called junk on the walls. i will take it as a compliment either way. 
a bit of my collection...still working on building the urge to paint the wood easter eggs or decoupage them in cute prints or fabrics. 
i see some federal glass and some cute little hallmark chick and bunny salt and pepper shakers, and a pair of twin japan puppy dog salt and pepper shakers...kitsch, yes i used the word for the little elephant mini planter? toothpick holder maybe?...i love elephants...ignore the craft and hobby pile to the right...no time for editing pictures. just wanted to get some listed here. and after all no one is perfect...note to self, move the box of crap before adding more pictures of cool stuff to blog!
look at the mcm coffee pot...and vintage melamine, and pyrex...oh my! 
unmarked pitcher, no clue....it was unique, so i brought it home. the fun part of treasure hunting is the unique and things that are not so ordinary that i have never seen before...which is a lot of things despite all the research i do there is always something new....tip of the day, learn something new every day. second tip of the day, learning always costs money in some way shape or form. Personally, learning while treasure hunting for cool sh*t is better than learning from a text book...
note i did not trim the jar gripper blue material between the bowls, it does hold them in place and the photo is to show that before i trim it down to size to display the lovely green daisy bowls.
some handpainted pottery in gold...love the pitcher......and a light blue dish that does not show well in the picture. ...i am guessing 1940s or 50s two handled jar, it reminds me of a genie bottle shape...just missing the lid. this is my second 1940/50s piece with gold trim in a really unique pattern. i had never seen it before. now two pieces in less than a month. i hope i dont find too many more unique things, well except for the heavy cast iron vintage antique chairs that i like painting. i would bring those home in two seconds flat. and i have. :).
what currently is tearing at me is the crisp white painted two chairs and love seat victorian set i have that i would love to paint in multicolors....but the white sure is looking so fresh and nice...this may be the year i go with everything black and white again for chairs and desks etc...people love my artwork but definitely the best sellers have been black and white so gypsyprincessart.blogspot.com will be showcasing some new work this year once it warms up outside in many black and white hand painted designs. we will see what i come up with! my work always surprises me when i finish it.
oh well....this is how i felt when i realized only a small portion of my pyrex fit in the china hutch! 
and this little meme is great for those who outbid us on pyrex or grab it right up just as we spot it in stores...but really i am not violent, although i could have been had i caught the two women whom took it upon themselves to take the vintage luggage out from under my nose when i asked if i could buy it and the sale lady said oh no you can just have those and the two chairs. two other ladies left at that very moment and sure enough suitcases disappeared magically before i turned around from saying thank you.
they didnt even have the decency or courtesy to say a word. those are the kind of women who yeah deserve karma...i will let karma handle them....still irritates me since they were near the curb and i was going to grab them near the end of a moving sale, in great shape with price tags still on too...but no i thought i would be polite and ask first. i see where polite gets me. i will still be pleasantly polite, cause it is the right thing to do...unless the situation calls for impolite...then maybe...not.
can you read this? i cant either...so hate my phone camera....
yep thats right...i have a very good eye for finding cool stuff. and i enjoy it when i have time and energy to go out searching for it. :)and another day gone that i didnt rearrange pyrex to display the rest of it all...oops...Rome wasnt built in a day right? that is what i keep telling myself. One day at a time...sweet Jesus, thats all im asking from you...bet ya sang that didnt you?
cute little vintage car tray..i do love trays..
yes they sold this to me and dumped the old pepper right out before bagging it up!
cute little vintage coffee cup in cheery yellow.
girls....thats right thats us.
this is funny.
this is not so funny..ok yes it is...
this is just so wrong...
and this is your answer to why all the memes. ;)
ok back to pyrex...yep the big old bertha old orchard is minty!
they look so creepy behind mcm glass sliding doors...i may just remove the glass doors. or not...thanks to the cat who i dont let near the dishes...but he tries...he tried desperately to not be swatted off the rush seat ladder back chair as he attempted to use the seat as a scratching post...the little useless furball...
he is good for a couple things...adding heat to my blankets...wasting my time when i let him use my laptop to watch youtube videos of birds and squirrel videos for cats, yes there is such a thing! he has a favorite one, the only one i watched with him for 18 grueling minutes of birds and squirrels eating seeds he was glued to the screen purring the entire time..
.pyrex is one thing he cannot use as a scratching post and he is grounded from the internet til he learns to leave my chairs alone....another one of my passions...my chair collection..yes full size small size all sizes of chairs..at least i have only one cat and one dog. no collecting there, they are family much as i hate the fur cleanup i stopped at one each.
love this mug. in fact i love a lotta things...minus a checkbook which i dont use. 
some little vintage fruit bowls. 
that is all for today. gotta love the Bitter-Heartless Bitch on facebook for this one. ;). cheer up you are not all that bad. smile it is a new day!
