Pretty Sour Cream

My newest vintage obsession is sour cream glasses.  I was looking through this months Martha Stewart and there was an article about them, and I fell in love!  I had seen jelly jars that people could use as glasses after all the jelly was gone, but never sour cream ones.  They have such awesome vintage patterns.  I don’t think I will be finding any unless I buy them online…but I can hope to find a hoarder’s estate sale with some!  Don’t you wish sour cream and other products still came in containers like these?!?  I do!

Moving Ahhh...

I spent all weekend moving! After almost getting a washing machine dropped on me and breaking the French press...it is finished!!!  I don’t know where anything is and spent almost an hour looking for the darn TRASH BAGS and dish detergent!  I am working on finding awesome retro piece to transform my apartment.  There are boxes every where, as soon as they are all packed away I will post pictures!!    My tomato plants made it through the move and I have six big tomatoes just waiting to turn.  Well...just a short update since I have not posted in forever!  The end

Canning

I mentioned earlier that I plan on learning to can things this summer.  Earlier today my first opportunity presented itself!  My uncle and mother picked all of these cucumbers.  I want to make dill pickles for sure, maybe some other kinds if I find a good recipe.  I will post pictures, the story, and recipes soon!

Estate Sales

I went to two estate sales this morning, they were both on the last day of the sale...soooo...everything was 50% off!!!  I found this retro night stand for $20.  I may paint it, but I think I might just leave the original finish. 

At the next sale I found these Pyrex mixing bowls.  $3 for both.

Name:  Early American
Type:  Nesting Mixing Bowls
Year:  1961

There is a third 2.5 quart mixing bowl that goes with this set.  I hope to find it soon!
