"One man's trash is another man's treasure." ~~~ That much is very true. And the evidence can be seen at any local Goodwill store. When was the last time you shopped in a Goodwill store? I never tire of going in and looking at all the things people don't want any more. And if you have an eye out for things, you never know what you'll find!
Over time, I've collected a lot of different things. Lately, I'm more interested in things that I can actually use. I always look for PYREX brand glass bakeware -- they work well, they stand up to the tests of time, and frankly, I love how they look! I'm not sure it matters to me if its old, or new. However, I do have some pieces that I know are very old (Scalloped handle 1926-1939) -- an inheritance thing, you see. :) Here's today's find:
I also collect antique or unusual kitchen gadgets, like this one:
Not sure what specific use these tongs are made for,
but seems like it would work well for olives,
given the rounded shape and 'fingers'.
If you haven't shopped a Goodwill store in a while, maybe you should give it a try again! You never know what treasures you'll find in there!
