That person's trash is my treasure

Hooray for blue snowflake pyrex casserole dishes!

My views on used/vintage items are quite simple: disgusting. But there is one exception to the rule: kitchenware. This mostly because a lot of baking and dish items I like are no longer being manufactured, including blue snowflake pyrex casserole dishes and oddly large pretzel containers.

There is a flea/antique market that has had the same pretzel jars for $42.50. So when I saw this one for $13.00 I grabbed and hugged. Note to self: you lose all bargaining power when you're caught hugging things.

The pretzel jar will likely hold thread. I'm not too excited about having to reach in and dig around for the desired color, but I just did a strength test on my current thread box, and no, it does not support my own weight.
