For sale-Golden grapes, Blue Primary & vintage tablecloth

Up for grabs on eBay is this Golden Grapes 1.5 Pint bowl, it goes with the chip and dip but I only have the smaller one.

It has scratches on it, but it is still useful and should go to a good home! The price is low because of the scratches.

You can bid on it here

I also have listed on eBay is this 1.5 Pint Blue primary mixing bowl.

It has a few scratches but very very tiny....barely noticeable. Other than that it is in very good condtion!

You can bid on it here

and I also have a lovely vintage pink fruit tablecloth possibly from the 60's.

It does have a few tiny holes in it but nothing that is noticeable with the naked eye unless you are looking for it, and will not affect the use of it or the look! It is really retro!

Vintage/Grapes Promo Casserole for trade

I have a "Vintage" (or Grapes) Promo 1 qt casserole for trade. It is in great condition, with a lovely green base and patterned lid. The lid has a really neat design of grapes and leaves- the grapes are a bit more purple than they appear in the photo. There are no chips, major scratches or utensil marks to speak of. 

Originally this would have come with a plastic cradle, but I don't have that. This is pretty rare- there is one on ebay right now, but they don't come up very often.

I would be interested in a trade for:

any New Dots except yellow,

any Pink Daisy, especially a space saver

a white/blue or charcoal Snowflake space saver

501s in pink, turquoise, red or Butterprint (at least 2)

502s in pink or turquoise
