I love sifting through antique stores! I don't often make major purchases (given the fact that I don't have a whole lot of space to keep things)... but every now and then I score a good deal.
A few months ago, I had the good luck to come across this casserole dish.
Isn't it a nice size and shape? I thought it was pretty nice, and for $5 I couldn't pass it up.
You see, it wasn't just an ordinary casserole dish... it was an official "State of Michigan" dish! See the seal on the lid? That's the seal of my home-state!
When I took this [very awesome] dish to the counter at the antique store I was shopping in, the cashier told me that the man who owned the booth where I found the dish had been an USPS employee and suggested that he may have picked up the dish at the capitol one day. Unfortunately that's all the information that I have... and I haven't been able to find anything like it online.
Needless to say, I'm very pleased with this thrifty treasure- not just because it was a good deal, but because it's a special memento from my homeland.
Thank you for visiting- I hope you have a great weekend!
