Hello all! This is my first time posting on the Pyrex Collective. I am Katie of Katieebee.
I wanted to share with you the Pyrex I "found" the other day. My secret stash ;)
I wish I could say I thrifted all of these and just got awesomely lucky in a single store, but nope. I kinda cheated. I found a lady on craig's list who had had a yard sale last weekend with tons of pyrex, and I missed it!!! So I emailed the lady and asked her if she had any pyrex left over that I could possibly come check out. She was gracious enough to let me come! She was trying to get rid of her collection-and boy, did she have a collection.
She had the pinks, the blues, the turquoise, the yellows, refrigerator sets--everything!!
I discovered that my new favorite pyrex color is yellow. But I didn't end up getting those, although I wish I did. Here is what I did get:
Pinks! and a blue! She let all of these go for about $20 (I can't remember how much I spent haha) But I'd say that's a steal! Its possible to find Pyrex cheaper, but I haven't been having luck with any beautiful colors like these.
They're perfect. She even said that I am welcome back whenever I wanted some more Pyrex. SCORE!!

  6. Oh my goodness, I just found you! I LOVE Pyrex, and I have exactly one pink daisy divided dish from my grandmother. I have been looking on ebay, but it goes fast and expensive. I love these pink and blue ones!! I really would like to find some pink refrigerator sets. You are so lucky!!

  7. Awesome...I sooooo love Pyrex. I found some awesome pieces lately. Resold the elusive BLUE SCROLL PROMO PIECE. It was like selling a kidney. LOL. Is everyone watching the Pyrex piece "Lucky In Love" on ebay climbing as we speak. ONE PIECE is up to $500 tonight!! Oh, to win the lottery and buy up a house full of this joyous stuff.

    Love the blog...just starting a vintage blog this week myself if anyone wants to check it out. http://vintageyall.wordpress.com/
