researching antique books update~

AS i have found after working on this page virtually three or so days straight, library people really do have tiring exhausting work...research is fun, treasure hunting for old books is fun, but recording everything is not so fun...
.at least for me. i am exhausted, and keep getting all the books mixed up...
was working on one box, then another, and never yet went back to get the photos...
t0o many treasures all at once can be too much of a good thing...did i really just say that? maybe a nap, and then back to these books...! maybe even a new box full :)

so many blessings~

There are so many blessings that I have not taken a chance to stop and realize them happening lately.
My Grandma made it through getting a pacemaker. She is a strong lady! and still has a smile on her face. What a great attitude after going through so much! Since she most likely missed her parakeets, i found a little plastic parakeet on a stand. I replaced the batteries. It was 50 cents but for it's purpose and finding it at that indoor sale this weekend made it priceless.
I delivered it to her so she could have a little touch of home with her at the hospital. she will be home soon of course but
any touch of home always seems to help recovery in my opinion! :). it chirps when you get in front of it and turns its head. cutest little thing!

When we reach out and help others it always seems to come back to us threefold. I felt the urge to reach out and ask friends if they needed help this past week. What a blessing to have found a friend who said yes. Dont know what i was thinking asking someone if they needed help when i have so little myself in terms of time and resources.
However, even if you have very little, still giving is the richest feeling in the world as our purpose in life is to help others and greatly increases our chances of success in life.
In return for helping a distant friend, i gained a much closer friend as well as gained a half car load of things to find new homes for. It was most unexpected but also a blessing as it will help in so many ways!
So there is a reason for everything that happens and i didnt need to know why i would offer help when i wasnt sure i could afford to do it at all, it was meant to be that way. in exchange for finding new homes for all the items donated to me, i will in turn have more gas for helping others. and that my friends is karma and things working smoothly in the universe.

while you may see items i list for sale with high prices, i am never quite sure what to list items for exactly. i just know they all need new homes and that any funds received are greatly appreciated so am open to offers on everything! The funds are then used to help others. That is how it works! so please make an offer on any items listed and gain something you love at a great price!!! i will most likely accept your offer and never be insulted at any offer. WHen you ask for something from the universe and imagine it happening, it will happen, in time. Greatest secret to life i have learned!

thankful for today

Thank you from The Pyrex Gypsy and Retro City Trash and treasures,  for all the prayers and well wishes on Facebook and everywhere else.

 It was a big shock to hear my grandma was flown an hour away to the big hospital for a stroke last night. Family says though she is in good spirits and lots of tests were done, they are still doing even more testing... After a heart attack and stents, stroke is much more likely but with tests done they say it was not caused by the stents...interestingly enough..and such a relief to hear her answer when i asked how she liked the helicopter ride. She said they had her wear earmuffs (headphones) so they could hear each other in the helicopter when they talked. Always a good sport, gotta love her.

Family is much more important than thrifting no matter how fun it is I stayed home today helping keep everyone posted on updates and am thankful she is doing well.

My fibromyalgia is acting up again too, rest is very important during flareups. i have learned to just take one day at a time. just like my grandma who really wants to do all her own yard work still but we all told her no to snow shoveling this winter. Glad she listened to the doctor and decided to stay inside.

hoping to have my energy back tomorrow i have tons of new treasures to get listed that need new homes!

the pyrex gypsy

so every day i have this urge to go find cool vintage pyrex....i just seem to always find it when i look. it is something to where it could become a problem if i dont start alerting the public to such craziness and addictions of the vintage dish mania that seems to overtaken any reasonable ounce of just say no to vintage dishes today sense that i may have had left....that is right i don't think it exists any longer. ha.

so today i found a couple of pretty little bowls with spouts and the pattern? one i thought i would never see in town....little red birds...ah...grabbed those right up...is it wrong that i was trembling holding my excitement back as these bowls were marked so low compared to the overpriced brown pyrex casserole dishes filled with scratches..they have no clue in that store how to price the stuff and for that i am thankful..mark all the ugly plain old brown stuff up high and keep giving me the colorful pretty dishes at good prices. yay!

today i decided to call myself The Pyrex Gypsy as i have many adventures traveling across town through town and to other many towns....on my quest for the best vintage pretty colorful pyrex i can find at the best prices of course!

even made a blog page for it. of course i did! i make a page or a blog or a group for every little big idea that pops into my head....actually some just do not make it to print here...but most do.
