Another Gourd

By MDH


A flame shaker gourd:)

Today's yard sale finds

Our water heater bit the dust & we were on the way to Home Depot.
MDH saw a yard sale & asked if I wanted to stop.  No.  Maybe on the way home.  I knew how much work would be ahead of us and did not want to dilly dally.
On the way home we stopped & I got out of the car for less than a minute.  
Thank goodness... 
A  Pyrex T.M. Registered Primary 402...


And a few Tupperware tumblers...
