Chicken soup in Pyrex

Hello, everyone! I'm new to the Pyrex Collective. I have a nice collection, which I use all the time, and I try to share some of my finds with two of my daughters, who also collect Pyrex. I love the thrill of the hunt! My best find ever was a Zodiac casserole, complete with golden compass lid, in excellent condition, for $12. This is now owned by Libby, also a Pyrex Collective contributor. My latest find is this tulip casserole with stand, in perfect condition.


Here's another idea for using your Pyrex. I took two casseroles to the florist and had her arrange flowers in them for my Thanksgiving tables.


And here's what happens when you make chicken soup and heat it up in Pyrex. Why bother with a serving bowl when you know you're going to eat it all? Just share from the Pyrex!

I also have a small collection of Fiestaware, which I stopped acquiring when it got so expensive, and a collection of baby and doll quilts. Antiquing is a lot of fun, but my true love is quilting, and therefore I also collect fabric! Check out my blog:  Quilt Stories.

    I love the flower arrangements. I didn't think anyone was doing it anymore.

    Love the flower arrangement idea. They look spectacular! I wish I had a Christmas Pyrex dish to do this with at Christmas! And that little girl eating soup is so cute!

    Thanks for the comments. That little girl is my granddaughter, who will be 5 soon, and the big girl in the trucker hat and the Prada eyeglasses (strange combination, but it works for her)is her auntie, one of my daughters who collects Pyrex. I didn't prompt my granddaughter to lick her lips--she was just chowing down on my soup! I do love to cook for an appreciative audience.

    Fiestaware is another one of my favourite dishes to collect. I work at kitchen store and we sell fiestaware. It great for me because I get all of the slightly dammage Fiestaware for free! Sometimes we will get a plate in that has glob in the glazing.
