Hello!

Hi there! My name is Katie and I write a little blog called What I'm Making.... I've collected Pyrex in bits and pieces over the last few years, but it has recently developed into a full-blown obsession! I love hunting around through yard sales, thrift shops, antique stores and church fairs for Pyrex. I've included pictures of my 2 favorite pieces - the Zodiac casserole was a gift my mom received at her wedding shower (over 40 years ago!). A couple of years ago she was cleaning and was going to get rid of this gem! I grabbed it and it became the first piece of my collection :) The Spring Blossom casserole belonged to my aunt. Last Thanksgiving she arrived at my parent's house with it and I fawned over it so much she gave it to me for Christmas, along with a Snowflake divided casserole dish!
My favorite lines are the Spring Blossom and Butterfly Gold, but I will grab other themes if I'm lucky enough to find them. I've added a bunch of pictures on my flickr of my quickly-growing collection -- I'm so glad to be a part of this blog!
