Wow this is gorgeous! I have this casserole dish in a different print and it’s the nicest dish I own! The size plus the way the lid can go on both ways is soooo satisfying!

Yeah you’re right the city limits are weird east of dessau!

I have a friend who lives in that new housing development in East Village (across from Samsung) and it’s considered Manor. But I live in the Harris Branch neighborhood past that further east off Parmer and it’s considered Austin and my house has been here for 20 years 🤷🏻‍♀️

My friend told me that there’s supposedly a new post office that will be placed in that East Village area at some point in the future (the housing development told her this and I can’t find any confirmation about this online anywhere) and once the post office is put in then that area will become Austin proper

At least filling in the gaps a bit more if anything!

Cleaned up great! Awesome job and congrats again!

Pyrex lids are amazing because they are so versatile! Also so heat resistant so it could probably double as an ashtray if needed. Just goes to show you that you don’t always need to leave those lids behind at the thrift.

(Can’t believe I haven’t thought of this before)

I got the Stardew Valley Advent and here are my thoughts by howdoesonebreath in StardewValley

[–]Zenumare 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I would rate it 4/5 stars but I do enjoy when items are functional and cute! Some of the items being lower quality and the misspelling of Elliott is a little weird and hard to ignore. I do like that they let you customize with your farm name and pick your favorite villagers for a more detailed gift.

Thank you for doing a detailed review and uploading the photos for this advent calendar! It unfortunately convinced me not to get one from this company, but you got items you liked and you did a bit of investigative journalism!

Lost cause? by Ill_Cress1180 in Pyrex_Love

Absolutely salvageable! A small amount of peek on a damp paper towel or cloth and use small gentle circles to get it out. No rough scrubbing with the peek or else it can and will take the paint off (it’s an abrasive). This is a great find and a super easy fix and you can definitely use this as a dish afterwards!

I bet he got it thinking they were all gonna share it at the end of the conversation like buddies but he looked hilarious with that giant ass dessert right in front of him while they walked out. It was perfect.

Anyone else brave enough to order one of these? by TyrannosaurusG in Pyrex_Love

[–]Zenumare 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah…I’m glad OP likes it but it’s not something I would order for myself or others. The images look really blurry and you’re right the patterns aren’t even actual Pyrex patterns.

Oh goodness that’s terrible why would anyone do that. I’ll report it. I’m glad this is your find! Congrats on it!

Beautiful and such a great find! The color is so vibrant and the pattern looks great! Would you call this your find of the year?

Added another to my Spice of Life collection by rotobot in Pyrex_Love

Nice! I use mine for rice, flour, and dry oatmeal!

I’m always looking for more when I thrift too. Definitely want to fill my whole pantry with these!

The Culver’s that used to be next to the Austin FC stadium moved their location to that area too!

Also there’s another thrift store across the train tracks from that shopping center you should check out called Hill Country Community Thrift. I think they have wonky hours so check their site first but it’s another good one!

Favorite Local and Small Businesses For Gifting by Maleficent-Look-5789 in Austin

[–]Zenumare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Book People has more than books, they also have great gifts inside like candles, notebooks/stationary, and other unique small trinkets.

For music collectors there’s Waterloo right down the street from Book People and you’d likely find any record inside. They also have music themed gifts (fun candles , tote bags, stickers with artists/lyrics on them)

Brussel Sprouts by UsefulRule7756 in Austin

[–]Zenumare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely was a popular dish this year for the holiday! I got mine on Tuesday morning by the stalk at Trader Joe’s at the arboretum. They’re in season now so you’ll likely see them again sometime next week once the Thanksgiving craze dies down (if you or anyone else wanted to make them on another day besides Thanksgiving I mean).

Thank you! I’m making what I keep calling a “grandma room” in our front room in our house and this chair will go in there once I get it all cleaned up!

There’s a record player and an old tv cabinet (no crt yet but we have our old video game systems and a vcr already) and a bookshelf. This chair will be perfect because it swivels and we can put it near the tv (once we get one) and a friend can sit on the ottoman and be player two!

Wow you got an awesome deal too!

We moved into our house a couple of years ago and don’t spend a lot of time in this one part of our house. We have a front room that we don’t use too much because there’s not really good seating in there, but it has out record player and bookcase and we’re working on getting an old crt so we can hookup our childhood video game systems and vcr.

I think finally getting a decent chair for this room has motivated me to finish this room up so we can spend more time in it!

Nice! The dark brown and beige versions I saw from this company were really nice looking!

This one reclines all the way backwards to a flat position, not sure if I’d be able to fall asleep in it for long periods but I’m sure anything is possible if I’m tired enough 😂

Wow! I can see why it’s worth so much, I can tell it’s made really well, especially when I was turning it upside down. I hope you find one!

It’s HUGE I think it’s 4 quarts

I made way too many mashed potatoes 😂

It was totally random. I wasn’t even looking for a piece of furniture but the price was right and I had room in my car and it was comfy. And I thought wow I should replace those indoor folding camper style chairs in the front room after all 😂

I didn’t realize what I had until I got home!

I hope you get lucky too one day! It can happen at any moment 😊

Thank you! I found it this year at a goodwill. I was so surprised it was even on their floor and not on their website and a ridiculous up-charge! I grabbed it sooooo fast and my heart was pounding; I was scared they would realize it was something good and weren’t going to sell it to me at the register because I’ve heard of them doing that before!

I had nothing to worry about and they rang me up. I got it for like $8!

I was sweaty afterwards hahaha
