Went Junkin!

Anyone remember this little beauty? Anyone still have one? Anyone get rid of theirs and then probably bought the same one back years later at a thrift store? Anyone??? Maybe it's just me then:@)
This is the Duncan Hines Tiara Desserts pan which was a fun novelty item back in the 70's or 80's? Not sure when they were made but they are now "vintage" on Ebay-ugh. DH used to sell boxed mixes to specifically use with this pan but don't any more. The pan bakes an indent in the center of the cake you can fill with pie filling/pudding/Cool Whip, etc. Luckily we have the internet and I found the original recipe that came with the pan, sounds like a future post:@).

Kinda funny story, I saw the pan at the first thrift store I stopped at, it was $1.99. I decided I didn't want to pay that much so I left it behind. Found the same pan, the same day, at the next thrift store for 68¢, that one came home with me!

Also picked up this little 4" amber cutie at the Salvation Army for 89¢. I'm guessing it's a vase and think it will be adorable with mums in the fall. If you know it's something else please let me know!
Hope you had a great Saturday too:@)
