They are a blast from the past. Pyrex bowls and those mushroom canisters. It's strange for me to grasp that these are collectible again. I found both sets in perfect condition while thrifting the other day.
I disliked (trying not to say "hated") those canisters - my mother had them when I was a teenager. My parents seemed to buy a lot of their home furnishings from Sears. This was the Sears "Merry Mushroom" line. My mom still uses her "Merry Mushroom" pans which are a lovely harvest gold.
Pyrex is again drawing attention. This is a set of mixing bowls in the Butterprint pattern. From Country Home Magazine: "Ubiquitous in the 1950s and 1960s, vintage Pyrex mixing bowls, refrigerator sets, and casserole dishes are seeing a huge surge in popularity since they’re inexpensive, durable, easy-to-find, and retro-mod." Pyrex is so hot as a collectible, it has even spawned a blog called, "Pyrex Love."

Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet-
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
