Pyrex Hoarding is INDEED acceptable!

I stumbled on to this blog not more than 3 days ago. Valerie emailed me and told me about this wonderful blog she and few of you Pyrex hoarders put together. I must say, I thought I was the only one who did some of the things I have been reading here. (oh and I read the entire blog Friday night and screamed and laughed and smiled so much) Hi my name is Sherry and I blog at Annies cupboards. I am a Pyrex hoarder. I am so happy to find you all. I just started collecting, but what a collection I have already. I currently ran out of cupboard space and have been hiding my Pyrex finds underneath dressers and my buffet table. Under my bed too. I have a very small kitchen and we are moving soon. I can almost see my Pyrex kitchen. (thanks to most of you on Flickr, I am so full of ideas)

I travel every year to different parts of the United States and I visit crafting friends and we all love to thrift. We hit up the local flea markets and thrift stores and some antique stores. I thrift locally but I really am not one to hit the flea markets and yard sales in my area. I have enough thrift stores available to keep me busy and stocked pretty good. I do collect other goodies but Pyrex is my favorite. When I was little I remember making cookies in the stacking bowl set my mother had. 3 years ago I was in an antique mall and I saw 3 sets of these bowls. Flash back to my childhood. They were all marked $55 each set. I passed on them. (stop looking at me like that) I then kicked myself and went back 7 days later. All 3 were gone. Yep and there is how it begun. Pyrexia struck. I started hitting up the thrift stores. I currently have every piece to that collection except the blue bowl. I have the blue bowl but its really in such bad shape. So I give those pieces to my cats. The cats have a few of those. Cause of course you have to find a use for those *ugly* ones right? I mean its still Pyrex.

I found this aqua yummy in the BOX last week. I never find anything in the box. Let alone a holder plus lid. I am seeing from most you talk about the numbers on the bottom of the pieces. I never thought about the numbers and their meanings. Now I know. Thank you and thank you Valerie for inviting me to this amazing blog. I enjoy seeing all of your collections and finds. The prices you pay are just Oh my gosh. AMAZING!

p.s. I paid $5.00 or less for each piece I have shown you here.
