Happy June 2015~

am happy to say i have put my amazon listings on hold to edit and update each and every listing there. WIll be back up and running soon~

 I have been to many estate sales in my area and have found tons of new treasures to share with you~now...if only my smart phone would gain more memory i could actually use apps i would love to try such as 5miles and another i have tried but had to delete til i upgrade, instagram.

finally tried chalk paint. Thanks to The Vintage Depot in Davenport, Iowa where i invested in several jars of Heirloom Traditions Paint. Color to begin with as i have never broke down til now to try chalk paint, are Gypsy Green, gotta love that name and the color! Hillbilly Blue, and Buttermilk. No one can stop me now..

Retro Rally in Rock Island is a yearly car show and vendor booths event with live music, entertainment and fun. This year was my first attending. Even finally invested in a canopy tent. the only cold and rainy day this month, it dropped down to below 65 that day. Thank you to those who stopped and cheered me up and even bought things. My fingers were numb the entire day.
Best highlight/ was meeting The Artery gallery, Rock Island, Illinois owner and her mom. The invite stands for friday at 5. I will be there :).

this is the before picture...amazing, if you hadnt noticed you will find i have an addiction to buffets despite having a smaller 50s home and no dining room. This one is finally in the process of being painted.~ 

This one is still in storage. and soon It will be my next candidate with pretty colors of grey and maybe off white, look at the little ornate trim piece across the top...so cant wait to add some color and depth to this....and the rest will be a surprise...

This one has beautiful wood. all solid. no one wants it painted, yet no one wants to buy at the price i am asking. at least not in my area. look at those drawer pulls. this antique heavy and gorgeous monster of mission style or more primitive maybe...really deserves lots of polishing...not so sure painting would be good for it. i am torn...i love painting, but i love buffets just the way they are too.  

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.

order and pay with square yay this is a big help

Order Online and of course there is paypal as well! still learning how to work with square. so far i have one item in square. paypal is also available til i figure it all out. i swiped my own debit card and it charged me of course, but i wanted to see it work! it does work very well. :).
