Wool N Cotton Shop GoneGreen & Sneak PinkPeek!

And so, I said to her, "Honey, you just gotta get outta here and take a break". 

"Well, I tell you, she gathered up her Wool N Cotton, and lickety split her seams, she was outta there."

"Then as soon as she Split, I was gatherin up the Green Stuff".

"Yep,  Sugar, I was like a Leprechaun...if you can picture that...in a Clover Patch".

It's a 'Lucky Charm Sale' at the Wool N Cotton Shop. 

For those of you who are new to CollectInTexas Gal, the Wool N Cotton Shop is my friend Judith Lester's Shop where this GRIT loves to work a relief shift everyonce in awhile.

There's always something fun going on there with the Friday Sit N Knitters or Whatevers, or the West Texas Happy Hookers, and for sure the Yarn Spinners. 

 It is a gathering place for more than Wool N Cotton.

It's a place where 'Blarney Is Spoken' with a Texas Twang...except for Judith.  She speaks YankeeBlarney!

 
I must tell you that Judith's favorite color is PINK. 

Can you belive that?  Another Pinkie! 

So it worked out 'Perfectly Pink' for this GRIT to give Ya'll a Peek at my Pink for Pink Saturday.

Now, Ya'll KNOW this GRIT is 'Full of Blarney' and loves  the search for all things collectible and pink.
So, look around in this post and you'll see a 'Hint of Pink' made by me!

See ya'll on Pink Saturday!

PS...It's PolkaDot!

What The Heck Is It NOT...MiraMar Mosaic Monday!

What The Heck Is It.....NOT!!!!

It's NOT a Fondue Pot
No forks to spear the Teenie Weenies

It's NOT a Spa for Faries
Sherry at Country Wings would know for sure

It's NOT a Wax Pot
Too hot! Now have a scar on UpperLip

It's NOT a Potpourri Pot
The house smells like burnt bark

It's NOT a Medicine Dispenser
Sorry MizMollye...Sinus' still suffering

On Pink Saturday, I asked the question...What the Heck Is It?

Karen at PomPomsPondering said she would use it for syrup and promptly left to go make pancakes.

That seemed practical for the 1950's. 

Then I compared it to a Syrup Dispenser from about that time.  I hope Karen fixed a 'Short Stack'.

The Numero Uno Answer was......
A Butter Warmer

I'd say that is a good guess for the 1950ish folks who like Cynthia at Beauty and Blessings, likes buttery corn on the cob and LOBSTER.  She's probably not from Texas...the only lobster here is at HEB.

Now, I don't know about Ya'll, but when I melt butter, it comes right out of the Crock and melts in seconds in that NewFangled Gadget called the Microwave.

We all know what would happen if I had put the butter warmerTripod Stand in with the pot. So to test the 20th Century Butter Warmer in the 2010 Warmer,  I placed it on the 21st Century Tripod Plate.

Test a success in 30 seconds!  

Thanks to all the Pinkies who contributed.  Ya'll will be mentioned in the upcoming Publication, 

CollectInTexas Science Journal of WTHeck

'1950's MiraMar Pottery Holdsup to 2010 ButterTest'

All real KitchenGadget Scientist do extensive research!  So, this GRIT Googled MiraMar Pottery. 

In a 'NutShell ButterWarmer' here's what I found...MiraMar Pottery began in 1952 and closed  in the 1970's.  In the twenty something years they produced scads of Retro Pottery. 

Here's some of Their PINK stuff with My Butter Warmer which I am still Researching, as it's not on the WWW until NOW!  I'm gonna be Famous!

First, I'll Publish this Research over at  Mary's Mosaic Monday.

There are some Experts over there in a Jillion different Fields.
Maybe someone will come-up with another use for My discovery.

PS...MrCITexas, an 'InTheBox Thinker', suggested I go to HEB for Lobster.
