I've been meaning to take pictures of all of the things that we've found, but didn't get around to it until today. It is getting really hot out there, so I only snapped a few for now.
This is an early 70s stoneware Pfaltzgraff pattern called Nordic Gold. I got a mostly complete set for $15, but I didn't feel like dragging it all out to photograph. I will be on the lookout for extra pieces and I would really love to have this and this!
I also scored a ton of Pyrex this month which is almost all in use at the moment and a sackful of little prep utensils and nice wooden spoons that were only 5 or 10 cents each.
We have a large Boos block, but I don't like to chop on it because it was a gift and I want to keep it in nice shape. We use it mostly for kneading doughs and rolling out crusts. We have a smaller Boos cutting board for daily chopping, but are always finding that more than one of us needs it at a time. This is a nice little butcher block that was only $1.50.
I've been looking for a large crock for a long time. Most of the crocks that I see used are cracked, which isn't good for fermenting. This one will actually be usable. And my Meme is a fantastic haggler who talked them into selling it to me for $20. I love the giant hardwood tamper!
This is actually a quite nice iron scale that I was surprised to see was only $5. We need to find a strong basket to hang from the hook, but for now we're just going to use a galvanized bucket.
I have a thing for handmade quilts. It's a little ridiculous really--I can't risk using them on the bed because of the four muddy pawed dogs that go in and out of our room all day long. So, they get folded up and stuffed into chests and cabinets until I find or get Mason to build a non-ugly quilt rack one day.
And, finally, a clangy old bell that needs some work. It was only a dollar and Mas said that he could fix it. I have no idea where it will go, but I have a feeling that we will find a use for it someday.
