Glass Bowl

I'm having junk store withdrawals. Okay, I know it's not good for the economy to shop only at Goodwill and Value Village, but we all know how exciting it is to find a treasure among trash.

On the way home from my Thursday morning band rehearsal , I pass within a block of a Value Village and it always sends snares out and most always catches me :o) Last week I spotted this sweet little bowl sitting way down on the bottom shelf among a bunch of old ashtrays.....remember those.....everyone had them in their homes.....one on every end and coffee table. The bowl was covered with years of sticky, yellow cooking grease and grime, and had not been used in years. It had no doubt found it's way there because of a death, an old family home being emptied for sale and none of the kids wanting or needing another old bowl as they had plenty already. As for value, it has none, but to that one person who spotted it that day, it had great potential and after a hot steamy bath in the dishwasher, it is sparkling once again and ever so ready to serve it's new mistress .
