Thursday afternoon, Wes and I took a walk through the village visiting the antique stores.  We are looking for some kind of a cabinet for a corner in the kitchen.  It could be an actual kitchen cabinet with a counter top (purchased from Lowes)  or an antique dresser with deep drawers.  We’re not sure what we want to put there, but will know when we see it, I hope.  It was fun searching through all the cast-offs, junk, and antiques.  We ended up at a new antique store at the junction of 32 and 32A.  I found a few things I wanted to buy, but no cabinet.  This Corningware piece is a pattern I hadn’t seen before and I fell in love with it.  It was very dirty and stained, but I used my magic potion (vinegar mixed with blue Dawn) and now it sparkles like it’s brand new.  It’s a lovely 1 1/2 quart casserole that will get a lot of use in our kitchen.  Wes just shakes his head and mutters, “We’re supposed to be downsizing.”
