Vintage Rubbermaid Turquoise Laundry Basket

 I found this awesome Rubbermaid turquoise laundry basket this morning at an estate sale for 2 bucks! 

 

 It's so tiny!

 

I was so thrilled to spot it.  It was filled with a ton of jar rings that they were trying to sell in the basket.  I went over to the guy and asked if I could buy just the laundry basket.  I swear sometimes at estate sales these folks think I'm crazy.   We settled on 2 bucks and I went on my way thrilled!  I can totally understand how most people do not understand or share my enthusiasm on finding these things, and I am most definitely okay with that!  I think I will be using it in my turquoise/red kitchen for dirty kitchen towels!  :-) 

Turquoise Metal Wheat Dish- Pyrex

Let me just say...When I saw this dish at a yard sale today...I was more than excited.  Then I asked the price and could hardly contain myself.  TWO DOLLARS!  I recently saw one selling for around $70 on Ebay.   I love a good deal! :-) Sorry for the bad cell phone picture, I will post more later!  Now time to make room on the shelf!
