I had really been looking for a Pyrex mixing bowl like the one above for my bread baking and of course other ummm...well... mixing! I love how cornbread and brownie batter just slides right over the smooth surface and into the pan- and it's great for letting yeast breads rise.
The tablecloth is just gorgeous- in the photo you can see I have it spread out over a different flannel tablecloth- I have a big dining room table and the vintage cloth is square and really just sets in the middle. The biggest drawback to Ebay- in my opinion- are the shipping costs! It's always a bummer to find a great item for $5.00 only to have the shipping charges listed as $15! I have backed off of a lot of items for that reason alone.
