Yard Sales & Red Pyrex finds

This was another good weekend of bargains at yard sales. I added to my collection two red edged pyrex dishes to match my red pyrex refrigerator dishes. After seeing Susan’s post about her pyrex finds, I decided a photo shoot was in order. Luckily, I found the dishes in one of the 158,495,594,984 still-unpacked-boxes in my basement. I really like using these old refrigerator dishes they are so much prettier than plastic storage dishes.

I also scored an old-metal-red-trimmed bread box, and the cute little white ironstone bowl in the picture below.

Everything on the shelf was found at yard sales over the years, and are items that I use on a regular basis.

Joining the Party

I feel like I’m coming late to the party. The blogger party, that is. I’ve been reading blogs for over two years now, and am amazed at the creative women all over cyberspace. After purchasing my own cottage this spring, I decided to join in the fun. So, Cottage 960 was born.

I’m looking forward to transforming and decorating this little cottage of mine, recording and sharing the successful and not-so-successful projects along the way. And learning to live life in less than 1000 square feet.

I have been inspired by the many, many talented women in blog land. I think one of the most inspiring before and after stories for me is Jennifer’s at Cottage 8. Her vision of what she could create when she  bought Cottage 8 is astonishing. Looking at her before and after photos gave me the courage to make an offer on this little ugly duckling of mine.

And as luck would have it, this little house became my home. Little by little, I hope to make it into a warm and inviting space for family and friends to gather and make memories for years to come.
