Thursday's Thrifting
I finally found a set of eight Pyrex mugs! I've been wanting to replace mugs that I've head since we were first married. I had gotten rid of the plates and bowls years ago, but hung onto the mugs and saucers because we used the mugs for Easter egg dying. I can finally get rid of those and now use these Pyrex babies. These mugs are thicker than the Corelle ones, which they had, too, in the same pattern.It's funny how most of the Pyrex I find is the same pattern. This spring blossom/crazy daisy pattern. I guess it must have been popular in its day.
And a bitty mushroom canister. They had the full set of four, minus one lid. I really don't need an entire canister set (do I? maybe I do ...) so I only bought the smallest one. It's so tiny, you can tell the size by the, ahem, candy corn Hershey's Kiss.(Thanks for your kind words yesterday. After lunch, we visited the cemetery. Alana was very upset. It was sad to watch. It has been six years since her mother has died. She was only five at the time. She has lived longer without her mother than she had with her mother. We wonder how much she remembers.)

Anyhow I never find it! How odd is that?
So in my book this is a stellar find! :)
Also I always think about kids that lose a parent a lot. I know you give them extra hugs, since there mommy can't. Especially that day.
Along with the Pyrex.
And my mom had those exact canisters until, oh, maybe 10 years ago.
Nice sneak-in of the candy corn chocolate kiss. yum.
At 6 she probably remembers fragments and needs help in knowing what it is she is remembering. Keep telling the stories and giving her as rounded a picture of her Mum and you can't to far wrong. :-)
I worked with some children using books by Marge Eaton Heegaard on the loss of a parent. There are 2 age groups 4-8 years and 9-teen years, depending on level of understanding. They were very good and a way in to talk too.
the pattern would be a great inspiration for a quilt.
