Faith Restored

a couple of months ago, i told you all about a frustrating experience 

that i had at an estate sale (feb 4 "the good the bad and the ugly").  i've been

avoiding estate sales pretty much since then, but i've

 gotten a little bored with just going to the thrift stores.  so i mustered up

some gusto and headed out last weekend.

the results are as you see below!! omg!!!

first, i found the 441 then i hunted and hunted for about 10 minutes before i found the 444.

i just about made myself (and the two ladies running the sale) 

crazy trying to find the 444 so you can imagine how 

excited i was when i dug it out of the back of low cabinet.

after i found it, all i could think was that if the the woman who had

owned them had kept them in such good condition 

and 

that she was a bit of a pack rat

that the bracket had to be around somewhere!!!

i kept on looking and it wasn't until i was about to throw in the towel that i 

spotted it from across the room on the top of the dining room buffet cabinet.  

it probably didn't help that i almost fainted in excitement! i was ushered over 

to the sofa to collect myself and assemble the pyrex 

for the photo op above.  ok, so they asked for $25 for the set which 

i gladly gave them.  

what a rush!  its the most excitement i've had in ages!!

welcome home beautiful pyrex
