I mostly buy from eBay. I probably have one bad experience for every fifty items I buy so that's pretty good odds. Prices run the gamut from a steal to ridiculously dear. If you are patient, you can usually find items at a steeply discounted price if you will look every day. If I want mid-century modern items, there are two local swap meets that have a decent selection. Local antique and consignment shops have some things, but are usually more expensive than eBay even with shipping. I haven't purchased from Etsy yet. Generally, their prices are more expensive than eBay. If you want to pay the highest price going, check out 1stdibs.com. Beautiful things, but always priced at the top of the market, at least in my experience.

Donna, this is a local on line auction.. and I am not sure if I can mention the name of the auction.. or not.. It is local in Cincinnati, Ohio.. I just showed the pic so some of you could get some ideas.. this piece could go for a lot more when it gets down to the final hours of the auction.. I will let you know.. Huggy

Jo, Beverly, this one seems to be new, I could not find it in the hosta library. But when I saw it at one of my dealer's shops, I simply had to have it! And it is not expensive, just 14 €, the price of two pizzas :-) I'd rather stop eating pizza than missing such a beauty ...I love hostas with elongated wavy leaves. Put in a high pot they can become centerpieces in the garden. I spend more money for my garden than for my interior design :-) I love to be outside, can't wait for spring to come...but at the moment it is -15° for two weeks now, even the river is frozen. Might be 30 years that this happened last time...

Thanks for the picture, Maddielee. It looks like what I actually have is not the correct insert, it's the top of a Tupperware grater (who knew that could happen?). It looks like this one, with a rounded handle, the piece on the top. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Tupperware-Jadeite-3-Piece-Shreader-Veggie-Celery-Keeper-Crisper-/112431578967?hash=item1a2d71bf57:g:MhoAAOSw2gxYwDxF Even without the insert, though, an entire stalk of celery won't fit inside and still leave room for the lid to close, so maybe Olychick is right, celery is bigger, maybe. Rusty, I have that GE refrigerator that I mostly like, french doors and a bottom freezer. However, anything in the bottom of the crisper drawers freeze. I've tried putting in blocks of styrofoam, those padded plastic pieces of bubble wrap, even folded towels, but everything in the crisper drawer freezes. Maybe because the crisper drawers sit right on top of the freezer? I don't know. Anyway, I'm going to try that celery keeper and see if that helps. The lettuce always has to go on a shelf to avoid freezing, because Elery doesn't like it frozen and soggy, go figure. (grin) If celery or carrots freeze, I can still toss them into the pan to make my mirepoix or whatever but frozen iceburg lettuce is only fit for chicken food. Shirl, Amanda has a set of four pink Pyrex nesting bowls that were my Grandmother's, so I'm thinking Ashley is probably going to lay claim to this set! I have a cabinet full of pyrex casserole dishes and I use them all the time, love the things. The Princess is always excited to try new kitchen stuff, especially if she gets to eat the results! Annie
