Pyrex collection

Taina asked me to show her a photo of my pyrex collection. I took a quick picture with my phone. I'll have to take a better photo soon. I have other pieces in use as fruit bowls and such or just in the cupboard because I don't have any more room here. I've been collecting pyrex for over ten years, I'd say. I've always been pretty fussy about only buying perfect pieces. I'm pretty sure one of the mixing bowl sets I inherited from my grandmother. The big red mixing bowl on the top I inherited from my Oma. I'm trying to narrow my collection to just the snowflake design. Otherwise, I'd have WAY too many pieces.

Lois Conner. Lhasa, Tibet, 2005.

I like this card because of it's odd shape. The background is also fascinating. It also came from the Rubin Museum of Art in NYC. I don't think Taina had ever sent me a postcard from there before. She said it's a small gallery that focuses on Himalayan Art.
What do you think?

Henri Cartier-Bressson. Sayan, Bali, Indonesia. 1949.

Another great photograph. I love old photos from different countries.

Brian J. Watson. Fly the Tube. 1977.

Even though this isn't exactly about air travel, it still reminds me of my growing up and my family. I think it's just the style of the advertisements. We always had tonnes of Air Canada paraphernalia at home.

I found this gem at Safeway yesterday. I'm perplexed. What does hockey have to do with tea? How can this company afford to have Gretzky endorse their tea? Does it actually increase sales? It's not like when he endorsed ProStars cereal, which every kid in the 1908s wanted. This is green tea. Weird.

Berenice Abbott. Snuff Shop, 113 Division Street, New York. 1938.

Happy New Year!
This card reminds me of going antique/second hand store shopping. I also love the lettering on the window. I love seeing old shops that still have kept the old lettering. It's incredible.
