On a personal note, may I brag? Hubs took the 7 year old skiing today up in Summit County and he did amazing. In the past, the equipment has been a bit overwhelming for the boy, so ski days had been slightly frustrating...up and down the little bunny hill for a while 'till exhaustion kicked in. Today, it clicked for him. Thought they'd last just a couple of hours; they ended up staying all day. He ended up wanting to go up the "big lifts" and ski dowwwwwwwwn the long runs. No time for this up and down the bunny hill stuff. Sweet. In the little videos, despite being bundled from helmet to goggles to boots, I could just see his happiness and excitement. Now they're home, hungry and red-cheeked. Think I'm proud? You should see his dad.
OK, on to the finds:
 |
| Yes, I already have some similar, Yugoslavian, versions of these in the shop. After hemming and hawing, I finally decided to grab these because of their matte undersides... I thought perhaps Krenit by Herbert Krenchel of Denmark. No real proof that they are unfortunately, but they're so nice and have great style. Listed here. |

| This Kolf of Austria fabric has such a cute folksy design to it. I recently sold some Kolf linens, I think they are so fun although I don't know anything about the company. This is a nice large piece, in crispy clean, never-been-washed condition. Vintage fabrics are still so intriguing to me. I have ridiculous amounts of fabric, waiting to be used. One of these days I'll do a sewing post! This will be listed as soon as I get it measured. |

| Sometimes I just can't resist the Japanese stoneware. There's a lot of it out there, that's for sure. Something about these fluttering butterflies caught my eye. |
 |
| Finally, this is a rare Corning Ware 10" skillet. It coordinates with the classic Cornflower Blue pattern, but it is that beautiful solid blue with a white interior, and nice black and stainless handle. I've only been able to find one listed on Ebay, and nowhere else. I'd like to list it in the shop, but hubs think he might like to cook eggs in it. We'll see. |

Excellent finds again this week, I never would have thought that skillet was Corning Ware, it looks to be in amazing shape! Whenever I come across cookware it tends to be in sorry condition. The enamel pans are amazing too, I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leilani! The Corning pan is interesting...stoneware with the mark of Cornflower Blue on the bottom.
DeleteThe red pieces are amazing. I love the matte bottoms too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana, one is turquoise and one is yellow!
DeleteLove the skiing story, it is so much fun to see them having a good time, right? We have no snow in the mountains, and we have not been skiing yet, in the other hand, we went to the beach yesterday (the dog beach, puppy had a blast!)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, and I really like your krenit pans. I don't pick any cookware anymore unless it is copco, all the other stuff just sits in the store! Eggs would look great in that pretty corning pan :)
Ahhh, dog beach - that sounds fun (except my dog would run away and never come back.)
Deletegood job with the finds...i need to light a fire under my tush and do a listing frenzy. send some of that energy this way please :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachael, sure feels good to get stuff listed...then there's no guilt about getting out there shopping!
ReplyDeleteI love the butterflies on the Stoneware. Great finds!
