Adventures at the flea market

Me: Mark, do you want to go to the flea market with me?
Mark: No way.

*10 minutes later*
Me: Hey, this magazine article says the flea market has funnel cake.
Mark: I'm coming.

20 minutes later? Happiness is a mound of fried dough, hidden under an avalanche of powdered sugar.

Unfortunately, the funnel cake was the only thing the flea market had going for it. My ongoing search for vintage Pyrex was woefully unsuccessful. I am such a fan of vintage Pyrex! Check out the Flickr PyrexLove pool.

My favorites are the mixing bowls and the refrigerator dishes, especially the refrigerator dishes, because containers with glass lids for food storage are the best (no plastic leaching into your food). I have been meaning to check out some of the vintage shops near my parents' house, so maybe I'll have better luck this week.

Hi Kim!

I had no idea you had a blog! I love the Pyrex. I might have to start looking for it, myself. I am always wishing I had cuter mixing bowls.

Do you mind if I link to your blog from mine? It's easier for me to keep up if I have the link right there. If you want to keep this semi-private, though, you might not want me to do that (I get about 60-100 hits from strangers every day b/c a friend of mine gets hundreds a day and I'm linked from her blog).

By the way, I was actually going to send you the link to the jumping videos--I'm glad you found it!

Sorry for the plethora of comments--I just looked on eBay, and they have tons of Pyrex. Although buying from eBay isn't as fun as searching at flea markets.

I have mixed feelings about ebay - esp when the prices on ebay seem grossly inflated sometimes.

and no probs about linking. i also like using google reader to keep track of blogs and updates.

this post made me crack up (mark's reaction to the presence of funnel cake). i was listening to hot chip and thought of him, so this is the perfect anecdote :)
