Pyrex 1.5 quart Pink Gooseberry refrigerator dish. |
I appreciate all kinds of needlework, but I'm particularly fond of embroidery. This is a lovely piece that someone finished embroidering but never framed it or made it into a pillow. Since I live in Wisconsin, I decided to make it into a pillow and display it on my grandfather's rocking chair.
Neat and tiny stitches were sewn by its maker. |
Delightful vintage child's dress with white embroidery, just lovely.
I appreciate the tuck work of the bodice. |
The work on the hem line is amazing. |
Handmade child's apron/bib. |
The apron lifts up. |
I have a new passion for vintage silverware, I like how it feels when I hold it, and I think that the patterns on these pieces are stunning. These pieces were ten cents each.
Each butter knife has a different shape, my favorite is the butter knife with the point. |
Looking forward to see what everyone else found this week.

Absolutely loving the pink Gooseberry! I have neither pink nor Goosberry fridgies. ARRRRRRGHHHH!
ReplyDeleteSoon, I hope..
I am with you on the vintage silverware! It is always so interesting. Love all your finds for that matter!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to run across a piece of pink Pyrex but you can bet when I do, I'm grabbing it! The Wisconsin embroidered piece is truly lovely. I think your idea of creating a pillow from it is a very good one. The sweet child's dress is so delicate. Can you imagine putting all that work into the dress and then having the wee one get sick? Oh my! I am also drawn to vintage silverware. You found true treasures, especially at 10 cents each. Nice finds!
ReplyDeleteOh great find. I agree the pink is hard to find here. My friend has me looking for her and I have only found 1 gooseberry and 1 pink daisy in the last 6 months.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that apron is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteLinking up from share your thrift haul. I love that link party, don't you?!=)
Finding any pink Pyrex is always good!!!
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend Patricia is just WILD about pink Pyrex, its the only color she will buy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a red and pink pyrex to me - something I would go for since I like red. You've been busy.
ReplyDeleteI have lucked into a few pieces of pink Pyrex, but all solid - that gooseberry pattern is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been the week for pink Pyrex. Your dish is so sweet. And love the silverware.
