Vintage Love
March 30, 2008
I try to avoid visiting Ebay as much as possible because it's so easy to spend more then you intend to. It's easy to think to yourself 'The maximum I would pay for this is $20' but then some jerk face always comes along and tries to out bid you and that's when I find the trouble starts. It is very easy to say "Ok, what's one more dollar?' when you've hit what you said would be your maximum bid, and we all know that one dollar can turn into 10 dollars very quickly and so on.
Well I ended up there today somehow by way of Google and I've got just three words.
Vintage. Pyrex. Dishware.
In turquoise, pink and brown!!! My three favourite colours! Tons of them!!! See these? These are mine!
All mine for only $16. Mine you, I asked about shipping like 8 hours ago and never received a response, which is understandable as not everyone checks their email all throughout the day. So I am fully prepared to be raped on shipping which oddly seems to happen when something goes for a low price. There were so many to choose from and I really wanted them all, but I have my heart set on a set of turquoise mixing bowls that ends tomorrow that seem to be a hot commodity so I am holding out for those.
Don't get me wrong, I love ultra modern things too, just there's something about vintage that's special. Maybe because they were made at a time where things weren't designed to break by the time the new model came out. Or because kitschy was cool. (Kitschy is still cool in my books for the record.) Who knows.
