The larger my Pyrex collection gets, the happier I am to find smaller pieces! Especially this size. I left behind three others (red) the day I found these. They weren't in great shape - a good collector must be a discriminate collector. Oh, who am I kidding. I try. ;)

I found each piece here at a different time, but I find them so perfect all together like this.

Left to Right: a creamer (so clunky + lovely) that I'm having a hard time identifying as anything other than Ball USA; a small vase made in the USA from a manufacturer in Miami called Bard International; finally, a porky Homer Laughlin creamer. I am so drawn to white ceramics.

Yes! Snowflake Blue! And what I think is one of toughest bowl sizes to find: 1 and 1/2 quart (402). My collection of this print is small but mighty: this is my fourth piece.

...A creamer I think I just might give to my mom - who loves the autumn. I found it at a plant show's rummage sale. What?! I know, a strange place. It's Wallace (Rust Leaf); from the 1940s.

A new Banana Republic jacket, with tags? Yes, please. Obviously a holiday gift as the price was neatly folded on the dotted line and torn off. So it's a little too big but a) I could always have it altered though I know I never will; b) there's plenty of room to layer - er, yes, it sometimes gets cold in Florida; c) the more hound's tooth, the more better.

A girl must splurge on her art! From a thrift shop. I'm so in love with this I can't even tell you.
