Winning The Longaberger Lottery

You may have read the news that someone in Michigan won the Powerball Lottery worth $1 Billion Dollars! Well, guess what?

It wasn't me.

😄

The winning ticket was sold at a Kroger grocery store just over an hour from us, though. How exciting! I guess my idea to start the Mary Rose Foundation for Crafty Boys and Girls will have to wait for another day. LOL!

I did, however, win the lottery on Friday...the Longaberger Lottery!

My son, Luke, was in town and we were running some errands. I had some bags to drop off at our local resale shop, and we decided to go in and browse. 

I had just walked in to housewares when I spotted them...two Longaberger dessert bowls and a butter dish!

Here's the thing. They were even in the COLOR I wanted and needed!

And the price? The bowls were $2.50 each, and the butter dish was $5. SCORE!

I have owned these dessert bowls for years, and I have them in cornflower blue, sage green, butternut yellow...but not the paprika. And whenever I'd find them online, the bowls would sell for two for $30. So to find them, and at such a great price, felt like a little blessing meant just for me.

We use these bowls for everything! They are the perfect size for salsa, hummus, ice cream, mixed nuts. 

I have the hutch filled with white ironstone and Paprika Red Longaberger pottery, with a few pieces of red transferware, too. A cheerful combination that works well for the days leading up to Valentines.

It's not a billion dollars, but I surely feel blessed!

I hope you feel blessed today, too!
