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.
