I've framed a few ~ Just for fun in the kitchen.Pretty Pyrex at Jazz'e Junque in Chicago
I thought I'd show off some of my Pretty Pyrex ~
Pyrex is not only pretty.............
It's great for every day use in our busy lives. We can bake with it. We can serve in it. We can use it as a left over container to store in the fridge. Plus we can microwave with it!
But do remember......................DON'T put it in the dishwasher! It will kill that lovely finish!
Do check out our web site and see all this and much more Pretty Pyrex on our web site at www.jazzejunque.com

Chicago Wicker Park
Take a seat..............
This is a story about a checkered table..........
Where in the 1950's........... My dad took me to watch older men in this park play chess.
It's Wicker Park in Chicago! These may not be the same tables. I remember them being closer to the fence. Also there was a long line of the checkered tables and benches. Men wearing hats and smoking cigarettes~ Many were speaking Polish.
My hubby and I was in this area the other day and I had my camera in my purse.
