MIA: My Favorite Lasagna Pan

Oh, how I loved the garage sale. Back in the old days I would spend a few Saturdays or Sundays a month going to garage and estate sales where I acquired some of my most, to this day, treasured possessions.

A pink faux alligator handbag.
Handmade pottery made by amateur potters.
A styro-foam bowler hat.

But my most prized find was the Corning-ware Lasagna pan I got for 2 dollars at the same sale I got that styro-foam bowler. I loved that pan and I used it for more than just lasagna.

Well, I guess it is gone forever...lost somewhere between Arkansas and Washington state nearly 3 years ago when we packed all our stuff and moved it. I can only blame Bekins so much, because the guy was ticking the numbers off the list as they unloaded the boxes and arranged them in the unit. I should have been more aware and watchful. I should have double checked the boxes, but when they were all crammed into the storage unit, I didn't really feel like dragging them all back out and putting them back again.

Not only am I missing that beloved pan, but I am also missing my everyday glassware and plates. We have been eating off of bone china and drinking out of crystal goblets. I guess I would be more dismayed if the china and crystal were missing - but I was looking forward to drinking iced tea out of my favorite jelly glass...

What else is missing? Bathroom and bedding items, kitchen items that included all my skillets (except my mama's old cast iron) and covered bake ware, vintage ceramics and such. I am going to guess that there are 3 boxes of my favorite things out there in Bekinland somewhere.

I still have about 20 boxes to go through, none of them are marked KITCHEN or BEDROOM. What is left is mainly books, cd's and art supplies. It is possible that I packed up my lasagna dish with a few canvases then wrapped it all in a bed skirt before sticking it in a box and marking it ART ROOM, but I think I would remember doing that.

So, a lesson learned for the next time we move across country.
