~Weekend Finds~
Oh my word! 85 degrees and holding! What super weather we have finally and I'm so excited to be out enjoying it. Seriously I love seeing the kids come inside at 8pm...right at bedtime..from playing and riding bikes outside all day. Hope you all are enjoying some sunshine wherever you are. Just wanted to share my favorite finds from this weekends outings. My mom and I headed out early Saturday morning to go looking for some fun stuff. And I found these in a box. Old Pyrex Dishes with lids. These are the glass ones with glass lids. And in aqua and one in red. Score! Practically for pennies, I am excited to start using and collecting these cuties and slowly get rid of the plastic stuff. I mean how much cuter are these compared to Rubbermaid? I know some of them are more practical but these are just too cute. 
And then! I overhauled this old sewing table I had. I've had this for awhile now and it was all white. So it got the old dirty bathwater treatment. I think this table was like $3 a few years ago at an old barn sale. Just goes to show ya what magic paint can do. :) And I am tickled to have it showing off more character. :)

You make me want to get out and look for some bargains!! I have never been a tag sale person, but you always make me want to go!!! My mom loves going antique shopping but I rarely go with her. I should! LOVE those Pyrex bowls. I would have been in heaven finding those!

I am jealous of your glass ware. :) It just would not last in my house. The table looks great, too!

I love old pyrex and have some of the same ones..I have a question about the sewing table and your desk and chair. I gather that they all started out white and I am curious what color or colors u used? Did you also sand them after or before..
Thanks,
