NENEWSLETTER Welcome Summer!

Finally, June has arrived with its onset of nice weather, sunshine and the promise of renewal. Our graduates experience their last hurrah with all of the pomp and circumstance they can muster. We look forward to longer days and gorgeous sunsets. June also means that Fathers Day is fast upon us. How often do we take the time so say thank you to dad? Not often enough, Im sure. This year, lets skip the annual gift card and let dad know that you went the extra mile for him. We have mantiques galore at Norwood. If your dad is a collector of fishing lures, pocket knives, vintage tools, baseball cards or coins, we have it in stock. This month we also have an opportunity to pay homage to our red, white and blue. Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States. Be sure to fly your American flag on June 14th. May your summer pass by at a pace you can enjoy. Take the time to notice all that summer has to offer. Have a picnic. Go swimming. Catch fireflies. Roast marshmallows. Sip an icy drink. Let the sand squish between your toes. Hold hands in the front porch swing. Smell the roses. Happy summer!

Tips from Miss Perfect from Shine Perfect Sparkle,Miss and Repair
Ingenious Fixes to Daily Problems
This month I have a couple of helpful tips for you on cleaning vintage dinnerware and crystal. Never put your antique china in the dishwasher. The water gets too hot and the detergent is too strong. Always hand wash! Line your sink with a heavy cloth or rubber mat. This will help prevent your precious china from chipping and hitting the sides of the sink. Use warm water with a mild detergent, like Ivory. Be gentle when washing, never scrub. Cleaning a stained piece of crystal stemware is a bit more involved. Swirl a handful of uncooked rice in a solution of warm water and either lemon juice or vinegar in the crystal to remove any films. Cheers for now!

PYREX
Highly collectible today, most cooks through the ages have owned and used Pyrex. Perhaps you own a clear glass measuring cup with red markings? The first factory opened in 1864, and moved in 1875 to Corning, NY. The companys first products were railroad signal lenses, lab and pharmaceutical items. Cookware was introduced in 1915 after a chemist took a container home to his wife and she baked a cake in it. Hence, Pyrex cookware was born. First was a 12-piece set, clear glass, was called Fire-Glass. Priced from $0.15 to $1.75, early pieces have a yellow tint and a knob handle. Red decorated followed in 1936-37. Sadly, both were found to be poisonous due to arsenic content, for one, which was used in production. White Pyrex appeared briefly in 1921, but was discontinued due to staining. Two spout measuring cups emerged in 1925. Refrigerator sets in 1929 (colors in 1949). Skillets and saucepans, called Flameware were produced from 1936 to 1979. Colorware came along in 1947, with companion pieces soon after. Marks on these pieces featured a backward S with a line through it. Later is a greenflame backstamp. Colors often correspond to certain periods. Turquoise, yellow and pink the 1950s. Golds, green, orange in the 1960s. Cinderella sets, with handles, through the mid-70s and from there many other designs appeared. Pyrex was also produced in England, France and Canada. Youll find a large selection of Pyrex at Norwood. Most of our shops have a healthy selection of this well-loved kitchen essential. Now, the question is what is your favorite style and color?
