:: Ombre Coffee Pots and Pyrex …OR…

:: Sentiments and Commitments::

::Day 12::

This week while killing time at the thrift store…waiting for the Honey’s prescription to be filled across the street… I noticed there wasn’t much in the way of Pyrex on the shelves.  Well…I did find a set of glass PYREX SEE THROUGH Canisters, with plastic lids on them, no picture (and I think a cool MUSHROOM Motif) …but they want an arm and a leg for them.
I showed you this picture-

..and called it “my own Pyrex” . Some of you might have noticed that the bowl on the left is NOT PYREX. :)
It is a YELLOW WARE bowl. I bought it at the very same thrift store on a previous visit… for 75% off… and paid very little for it.  I’m not big on yellow ware, if fact I KNOW nothing about it.  The reasons I bought it, was mostly sentiment… price, color, AND! I have another bowl in my possession that is a yellow ware bowl {pictured below TOP SHELF} —it once belonged to my mother in love. :)

 

My Honey remembers eating mashed potatoes from this bowl while sitting around her table. 
He also remembers eating cookies from that “Daisy Dot” cookie jar, up there too.  I’d have it down and use it myself—but it has a hair line crack in the lid.  I’d be afraid it would get broken.   
I like having these dishes out and seeing their beautiful colors. The Turquoise Butterprint Pyrex  all belonged to my mom. So seeing them…makes me smile.  I recently added this old crocheted doily to the top shelf…It is another thing of beauty all on it’s own.  {smile factor}

I was trying to get this post ready last night… I was up for a few long hours… playing around on pic-monkey. When I have ‘writer’s block’… I dink around with something else.  I decided to personalize my social media buttons.  They look like this …

They are over there on the side bar—
THE REASON they look like this…is I COULDN’T GET THE COLOR CODE TO STICK AND MAKE ALL OF THEM MATCH…so even though you can’t really tell, except for the yellow one—they are ALL slightly different in shade.  {My ombre coffee pots} anyway, it ended up making my eyes cross—I kept ending up with html code …hanging out there for all to see!  @@ My eyes were glazed over.  Plus…after 12 days of posting everyday… it seems I hit a wall.  Wasn’t sure what to write about.
I’m really only keeping this as a commitment to myself (and now all of you of course) … in order to learn to meet deadlines, not procrastinate (which I sort of did on this post…seeing how it is 1:00 in the afternoon ON SATURDAY…and I’ve still not posted)and… I GUESS for the sheer sake of KEEPING A COMMITMENT!  :)
So…couple of questions—we can talk about in comments…
Do you know anything about YELLOW WARE?  This piece has an almost UNnoticeable mark on the bottom. (very hard to read)  Do you know how to spot a reproduction? 
Do you get writer’s block with your blog?  Do you sit down to write and find yourself doing something else?
