Happy B.C. Day 2013

Today is B.C. Day in British Columbia so I hope all B.C.er's have a great holiday.

I found this 12 cup Pyrex carafe quite awhile ago it is in a earlier post.  On our trip to Kamloops, British Columbia a few weeks ago I found this small Pyrex carafe in the above picture.  The milkglass coffee container was also in a previous post.  The coasters in the stand are a new find, they are marked British Columbia and have the Dogwood flower on them which is our Provincial flower.

I left my boyfriend at home sleeping Saturday morning and went for a pedicure and haircut then I decided to hit the local secondhand stores.  I found the chair in the above picture me an another lady spotted it at the same time but I was faster by a second so it came home with me.

This house design I found in Canada's July 1967 Chatelaine Magazine it's a Souvenir Centennial Issue.  I like finding vintage ad's this one was for Chatelaine Home Planning Book.  The above design is "Gustavo da roza's winning design of the Canadian Lumberman's Association contest."

This is a piece of art glass made by Chalet Canada.  I saw it at our local Salvation Army and when the price dropped I had to get it.

This pink Dahlia is from my yard.

Coffee On The Mind

This post has a coffee theme it came to me while I was having my morning coffee that my boyfriend picked up at our local Tim Hortons.  All my finds in this post were found at the secondhand stores.

I saw this bag it caught my attention and I decided I had to have it.

These brown stacking mugs with a flower design were made in Japan.  I can remember this type of mug in my grandparents cabin in the 70's.  The Pyrex coffee carafe when I saw it I knew I had to have it.

Where are my sticky notes?  These Blue Mountain ashtrays were supposed to be in my last post.  Yes I forgot I should have had a sticky note to remind me.  I plan to use them as coasters as you can see with the Fire King Mug in the picture.

These Pyrex casserole dishes are in the Colonial Mist pattern they all are missing their lids.

The clear rhinestone brooch is a signed piece by Jay Flex Jewelry.  The company was started in Montreal, Canada in the 1930's and operated till the mid 1960's . The company was known for it's workmanship, design and quality in fashion jewelry. Like my piece many where made with rhinestones on sterling silver.

The blue brooch is an unsigned piece.
