Vintage Mixing Bowls

Well, had a few minutes to spare this afternoon and thought I'd talk about vintage mixing bowls. There are all kinds of mixing bowls out there. Some glass, some pottery, some plastic. I have come to realize that the older ones are the nicer ones. Because, they were made in the USA!!! Vintage though they may be, these are great pieces to use in your kitchen!!! So take a peek at some of the variety we have!!

Above is a set of Friendship Pottery Mixing Bowls Roseville OH in VERY GOOD condition!! These are so awesome, I wanted to keep them for myself!! But, alas, I have no room!! You can find this in our store, KornKountryTreasures!   

Next, you will see an awesome set of Vintage Pyrex Gooseberry Mixing/Casserole Bowls. These can be found at Gram-Recyle-Bin!! These are not just great for mixing but for casseroles and baking, too!! Great pieces and the whole set!!

RoundPrairie2 has a couple of things for you to see!! First, is this Pyrex Homestead Bowl Set. They need a little TLC but awesome!! Then they also have this awesome Blue Band Batter Bowl by Homer Laughlin??

Next, PiasRotty has this wonderful, old

Red Wing Stoneware Co. Brown Shoulder Bowl Milk Pan - prior to 1906

And if that isn't enough, they also have this

Vintage Ceramic Mixing Bowl - OVEN WARE MADE IN U.S.A. 9.

How cool are these???

AngelOnTheWind has this Nice Set of Heavy Blue Mixing Bowls.

Such an awesome blue!!! Wow!!!!

And, last but not least, we (KornKountryTreasures) also have the Marcrest Dot & Daisy Large Mixing Bowl and in a separate listing, the Marcrest Dot & Daisy Medium Mixing Bowl!!

So, if you're looking for mixing bowls, check us out! These pieces are getting harder to find so they are well worth the money!! Why buy something imported when you can find good old USA made stuff that is better quality even if they are a few years old??

So, check us out!! Buy vintage!! Come on over to OLA.com!! You'll be glad that you did!!

Thank you for stopping in and please comment!! We appreciate your time!!

                                              To OLA.com SELLER OF THE MONTH

To visit her store, click here!!

"I have been selling online in a small way for about 8-10 years but when I lost my job in 2009 I started getting more serious about it. I started selling online because I had a few things I no longer needed. I also wanted to see if I could be a better seller online than I am in person. That still remains to be seen. LOL The most interesting thing I've sold is probably the handcrafted fruit presses my husband and I use to make. I say my husband and I loosely as he did all the hard stuff and I just sanded and finished the wood. I'm hoping we can get back to making these and list some here. I love to watercolor paint, sculpt in concrete, do lapidary work, explore unusual and some not so unusual crafts and read. I collect art and craft books. A tip for using OLA: The best tip from my perspective would be for members to visit the chats often and read, read, read, you will learn a lot. You don't have to participate if you aren't comfortable and just reading you will learn a lot. Don't hesitate to participate though, ask questions or just say hi, our members are always glad to have you and eager to help if you need it. "

Weather, plants and a freeze

     Well as everyone knows this has been a crazy weather season. People used to snow not getting much, some getting too much and the same with rain. Some with freezing weather and some with not enough of that either.

     We did not get more than two inches of snow. We really need some rain and will hopefully get some. Was supposed to rain yesterday and did not. We have well water and if we when it gets low we start getting some grit in our taps. Need to change filter outside more often when that happens. So far we are good with that.

     Our regular season for our plants that come up every year is usually late April. Well, my hosta's are full, our dogwoods are in bloom with the wild ones down the mountian also popping out. If we get a freeze the hosta's are done for however the dog woods will survive.

   
      The radishes I planted two weeks ago are coming up already. The scallions are showing no sign of growth. I start these from seeds. My hubby's potato plants he put in are not doing anything but it takes them a while anyway, although we have volunteers coming from last years plantings. He is waiting to put in cherry tomato, regular tomato, squash and green bell peppers.  I want to try some silver queen corn this year also.

    
     With the weather being near 80 for over a week it can be scary as the last time this happened we had a hard freeze in late April. That hard freeze took out a lot of plants and I am not looking forward to replacing 73 hosta plants should they get hit. Even my angel trumpet plant is ready to pop. It can be moved inside if that happens.    
      
      If you know what Kudzu is there are people here who are now using it for feed for their animals. Some even cook it and eat it themselves. I am not interested, thank you. There are also wild ramps that grow here and from what I have been told about them I am not interested in them either.


     This has been the strangest year and it will be interesting to see what survives. If you plant a food garden I hope you fair well. For those of you who do not plant some of your own veggies, you are missing all the great benefits of planting it, nurturing it, watching it thrive and finally picking it and having the best you can get and the pride of doing it yourself.
   
     So for me I will continue to pray for no hard freeze. Too much to lose but then some would love to see colder weather for a while longer. It is beautiful here today and hoping it stays that way.

      After you are done with your ourtside work I hope you take some time and visit my store at http://ola.com/store/chateycathey as I now have it in order, some new items listed and all pictures are where they are supposed.

    Please comment as all are appreciated.



    

    

     

Two Eaglets Hatched!!

Well, while I was puttering away in the house, the Decorah eagles were busy hatching their eggs!! Two have successfully hatched with one that they are still lovingly waiting on. You can watch the video and check it out! It is awesome!!

Last year, thousands of people watched as these two eagles successfully hatched three eggs. They are naming them in an unlikely fashion D1, D2 and so on. D12 and D13 are the latest. The  Raptor Resource Project has been filming eagles like this for five years now, according to Bob Anderson.

Anderson is proud of another eagle project, D1. D1 was from the Decorah Eagles brrod last year.  She has been fitted with a solar powered satellite tracking device which allows us to track her. The bird was in northern Wisconsin, the Boundary Waters, and then returned to Decorah December 29th, 2011. Anderson said  “As of last night D1 was south of Spillville, Iowa on the Turkey River.”


Once the site comes up, I will add it to the post so that you can track D1 on her journey!!

It is such a wonderful adventure watching these beautiful birds!! Enjoy!!

And, if you get bored and want to do some shopping, check out our store at Korn Kountry Treasures!! And check out the other stores at OLA.com, too!! Great sellers!!
