Blue Pyrex bowl, $1.81. This is actually the smallest bowl in the famous Primary colors set. I now have the yellow, green, and blue bowls, so I am only lacking the red one. I have a feeling it will be hard to find.Old whisk thing with painted handle, $2.99. This one was in a bag with a bunch of random kitchen utensils, but I bought the whole thing for this one. The other utensils will be getting re-donated and I'll take the tax credit. I know this was too much to pay, but I really wanted it.
Old Bobbsey Twins book, $.69. Copyright 1962. Someday I will read this to Maren, along with the Happy Hollisters books I've found. I've actually never read a Bobbsey Twins book, myself! I preferred Nancy Drew.
1950s Advance dress pattern, $.29. Love the big full skirts! Wish those were still in style.
Miss Know-it-All Dictionary by PonyTail, $.99. This one is copyright 1959 and is actually a Webster's Dictionary inside. I've no idea what PonyTail was, but this one has such a cute graphic on the front I had to get it! I thought it was the kind of thing you'd see in a little vignette, stacked on a desk or dresser in the pages of Country Living or Home Companion magazine.
Assorted rolls of ribbon, $5.98. This actually came in 2 packages, and there were 3 more packages that I didn't buy. I just couldn't justify spending $15; too bad it wasn't the 50% off tag color for the day. I actually called the store this morning to see if by chance today was that color. Unfortunately it's not. I'm curious to know if this is vintage ribbon. I've always wanted to find vintage ribbon or buttons or sewing notions, so I think that's why I felt compelled to get this. It's interesting because it's not on spools; rather, it's rolled around itself very tightly. The largest yellow roll is 6" across to give you an idea of scale. If it really is vintage, I'd go buy the other 3 bags and put it on eBay. I'm not sure how to tell without a label though, and I Googled 'vintage ribbon identification' without any luck. For now, I like how it looks all stacked up.
Oh, I loved the Bobbsey Twins books as a child. You really are amazing, girl. Can't believe all the cool things that you find. :)

oooooooooh, the Happy Hollisters....Kathy Bunch and I loved the Happy Hollisters!
ReplyDeleteI've bought and sold many, many of teh Primary Bowl set and the red is always the hardest to find. In the past year, when I have found it, it's been dishwashered to death and the color is dull and faded.
