I am not typically a fast mover. Unless I am late- I hate to be late. So, in thrift stores that I am familiar with, I don't tend to dawdle. I move along at my *casual slow* pace, reaching carefully to look certain things over, gently moving this knick knack or that odd-n-end to be sure I don't miss anything.

But on occasion, a find calls for swift action. This comes from the more subconscious region of my brain. The place that quickly registers *pink* or *aqua* or *pyrex* or *atomic* before I've really even laid both eyes on the item. The place that screams "GRAB IT" before I have time to even think.

When I reached out my hands for this amazing lidded divided dish in the more rare promotional pattern "constellation" today, I felt like a frog flipping his tongue out for a fly. I probably thought the same thing as the frog, too, "Mmmm mmmm".

This dish and lid are in as near to mint condition as I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning. Look for them in sosovintage later this evening! When was your last frog/fly catch? Do share!
