FaVoRiTe BowLs and AnothEr ChiCken ToWeL

Dan of Yesterday once more has been showing his collections of different things that he has and last night he showed us his bowls...well I thought I would do the same as I have some pretty neat ones..although not collections of anything...I do love my pyrex..so I guess thats a collection..the above set my girlfriend Gina gave me years ago..I use them all the time..
I got this set along with 2 retangular ones 2 photos down on ebay for $10.00..that was such a steal..they go for around 30-40 bucks here and are very rare...I love the color of these..right now they are housing my sweet potatoes as I want to make sweet potatoe frys with them...will keep you posted on that one..gotta find the recipe..
my TS finds..I think these were like 2-3 dollars each..and they have the lids..which is sometimes hard to find..
I just picked up the fireking sunflower bowl a couple of weeks ago out TS shopping...it makes me smile..I love bowls..
this bowl my friend gave to me as a thank you for taking her daughter for a week..she was my little pal..now she is going to be 25...I love this bowl and love the colors...I almost sold this..so glad I didn't..;)
my 3 longaberger bowls..
aaahhh more pyrex..I used to eat of similar ones when i was a kid..they made great cereal bowls..you know the cereal where you put a ton of sugar and it all floated to the bottom..and it tasted so good at the end with the milk..;) sorry for the saran wrap..leftover cream of mushroom soup in that one from dinner last night..that and grilled cheese sandwiches..
I got these as well as for salad plates from my friend Carolee..they just kept calling me till I finally bought them..we use these for our spaghetti and big salads...they are my favs!!
More fireking..I started collecting these back in 92..my friend Selena had started collecting it and I thought it was interesting..so I did too..love these for icecream bowls..and soup..
here is the big collection..I think I got these at an antique store..I have also purchased seperate plates...I love the knife marks and wonder what was eaten on them and who loved them before me...
I just finished up this towel this morning..it is my international chicken silhouette towel..I love how it turne out..it has black and white lettering on it..
This will be in my etsy after I am done here.. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend..the sun is coming out..might have to take out my Pody for her daily squirrel/bird watching..she so enjoys it..Take care.;)

  2. Hey Gina, I have the red and blue
    bowls in the pic of your cereal
    bowls, they belong in a set with
    two bigger ones, the green is
    bigger than the red one and then
    there is a huge yellow one. I
    also have some extras of them.
    I need one more green one and I
    will have two sets of them.
    Have a great weekend.

  3. The Pyrex bowls are my favorites although I don't own even one piece. You just don't see the old stuff like yours around anymore.
    Another beautiful towel. I just love what you do with them.
    Enjoy your weekend,
    AMY

  5. Love your bowls, and yes I have some of them. The ones with the handles (soup bowls) I have never seen them before. Will have to be on the look out. Enjoy your weekend!

  6. Wow! That's a lot of bowls! My favs are the ones with lids ~ love the colors in them!

    That towel is awesome! I love how you can take an ordinary towel from Wal Mart and make it into a piece of art! They always look like something that came from a high end specialty store or botique!

    Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
    Hugs,
    Donna

  8. I have the set of pyrex wheat bowls like in your first photo. There are four sizes. I got them as a wedding present 30 years ago. I did break one several years ago. I have other sets that I've inheirted from my hubbies grandma. Also have a set of the turquoise covered casseroles which I love!

  9. I LOVE those Pyrex bowls. My mom has some that I might inherit one day. Hers are brown, but have lids. Love the red ones and blue ones the best I think. Your towels are wonderful too. So much fun peeking into someone's kitchen.

  10. Gina,
    Love your bowls!! One of my close friends collects Pyrex...and she is always on the look-out for them at the thrift shops and the GW.
    Love the rooster towel!! I purchased that design too, but have not stitched it out on anything yet. I was finally in the mood to embroider today and couldn't because it stormed. Bummer!!
    Have a great weekend.

  11. My Gram had some of these bowls. I like how you hold on to memories of who you got the bowls from or where you got the bowls. It is so nice to find I am not the only one like that. Have a nice weekend!

  12. I'm pea-green with envy. It's like mission impossible to find anything here like those gorgeous bowls.

  13. Hi Gina,
    Those little handle bowls with lids are perfect for baby food. I LOVED using them when my son was a baby-- easy to feed him from and then store the leftovers in. Happy memories.
