to everyone, hello!

Greetings from my little house in Florida not-too-far from the sea!  I’m Madge on the webs, Margaret in person.  I’ve been collecting Pyrex for three years and get my loot exclusively from thrift shops.  This very photo from a small spread in Country Home magazine turned me on to Pyrex and I haven’t looked back since:

My collection is as scatterbrained as I am!; I don’t seek out complete sets:

I love, love, love patterns.  I’m a fool for Snowflakes, Butterprint and Gooseberry.

I have a few pieces that I use in the kitchen, otherwise I just sort of dreamily stare at it.

My thrifting blog is Solid Cherry.  I’m a new mom; my son George is nearly two months old!  Before the mom gig I was a librarian in a public library.  I have two cats and two dogs.  I also love to collect restaurant ware creamers, midcentury furniture if I am so lucky, and how weirdly specific is this?! - American-made bread-and-butter plates, color: grey.  I’m secretly buying these things to stock a tiny Airstream Bambi or little pre-fab getaway that I will one day have in my wildest dreams! xoxo

{P.S. thank you Erin for including me & Jeni, for designing the masthead: love!}
