We Used This Vintage Pyrex 1.5 Quart Ovenware For 20 Years – Found Its Legendary Pattern is 11% Lead

This vintage Pyrex glass ovenware has been used for over 20 years. I think we acquired it in a thrift store in town after we bought our place in Caseville. It’s a perfect size cleans up easily and is practically indestructible. The green flower pattern held up well but looks a little worn and faded. 

The dish pattern Vintage Pyrex “Spring Blossom Green” pattern casserole has lead levels registering at  110,000 parts per million.

New Apparel Company Is Thriving With A Michigan Midwest State of Mind

Brian Lewis approached Thumbwind Publications about doing business with them. We found that the Midwest State of Mind appeal company gives 10% of net profits back to Midwest charities, non-profits, and other groups committed to keeping the Michigan Midwest great. During our exchange, we thought Brian and his wife Anne had a great story on how they managed to bootstrap their company and quickly grow an appraisal business with a Midwestern flair.
