CBC and I have a few items still and I believe my Mum has a load. I remember the brilliant ice Lilly moulds that we had which my Mum made Squash lollies for us in and my lunch at school was always in a pastel blue or red or avocado Square Round!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-79167931654568177302017-04-18T22:32:12.904+01:002017-04-18T22:32:12.904+01:00Went to a few back in the 90s.

At my aunt's house; I remember the shape toy being one of the features. I have actively sought out Tupperware dealers within the last 10 years, though. Because I like the pie carriers for storing and transporting pies, well of course. They also hold cookies if I make a large batch and store some in the freezer. And I am still using the little round bowls with the pleated lids (in harvest colors) serve n savers, I think they were called. And I think they were given to us as a wedding gift 29 years ago! But I don't remember ever seeing pastel colors. slimsdotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823463779104145511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-49234754337829039542017-04-17T20:32:03.336+01:002017-04-17T20:32:03.336+01:00Here Tupperware parties are a thing of the seventi...Here Tupperware parties are a thing of the seventies.

Yes, I've been to a Tupperware party and I did buy some items (including that shape sorter, I think). What's more, I even volunteered to host a party, in return! There was a set of 4 canisters that I was eyeing and it was only available as a hostess gift if you had over $400 in sales. I think, between my mother and I, we bought enough stuff for me to qualify for those canisters! I still have at least three of them. And several of those storage containers and a large, covered bowl. The best item I purchased, however, is my pastry mat. I still have it and use it, although it has a few cuts on it and a corner melted when it was kept too close to the stove burner!
