Vintage Pyrex Yellow Fridgies

I found 3 of these at a thrift store today. The yellow color is not damaged, and they all had the correct clear lids. There were more, but I selected the ones that appear in new condition. These must have been put on the shelves today, or maybe I was the first person to know the age and value for resale. Age? 1947 +. Price? $5 each. I am adding these to my collection.

I sold most of my collection of bowls a few years ago. Though I did keep the frigies, and now have about 25-30 of them.

What is the value?? They seem to be selling in the $50 range....

Reality

 

Written by Angel Chernoff

Sometimes we feel betrayed by others.

Sometimes we feel betrayed by our circumstances.

Sometimes we feel betrayed by life itself.

In any case, we are faced with the reality that things aren’t always what they seem, and we don’t always get what we expect.

So what can we do?

Accept the reality, and then do our best to make the most of it.

The truth is, we were promised trials and tribulations right from the beginning. They were always part of the program. Growing up we were told, “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” And to a certain degree we’ve already realized and accepted it. The relationships, jobs, and projects that didn’t work out led us closer to the ones that did. The things we’ve lost too soon opened our minds to understandings and opportunities we never fathomed beforehand. So while we’ve rarely gotten exactly what we wanted, we have often received more than we bargained for.

Of course, in the heat of the moment, when incredibly disappointing things are happening to YOU, and the outcomes you’re dealing with are REAL, embracing reality and making the best of it is not easy...

You feel betrayed.

You feel victimized.

You feel crushed.

1. The person who betrayed you is likely broken in more ways than you realize.

2. The truth hurts, but it’s much healthier than holding on to the lies you once believed.

3. Arguing with someone who has intentionally hurt you only enflames the pain.

4. It’s always best to wish people well, even if they don’t deserve it.

5. Healing gets easier when you learn to accept an apology you never received.

6. The person who hurt you doesn’t speak for the rest of us.

Fun Idea

 

2026 Garlic Harvest

 I finished drying my garlic harvest yesterday. A really good year, large garlic, about 40-50 heads. I trimmed them and put them into this wood box for storage.

I am really happy with my harvest, and after I took this photo...I left the box sitting on this chair. I planned to move it this morning.

Meanwhile....mr dementia decided this morning to water the garden with a sprinkler. He watered everything, and got my garlic and onions soaking wet. Then he blamed it on me!! The situation of blaming me is upsetting. Do you think that I should be living like this? 

Sisters Quilt Show #3

 

This is another extraordinary quilt that I photographed at the Sisters Quilt Show. The design and work is beautiful. This quilt is very large, so photo is at an angle. I know that I said Wow!
