Hi, again, fellow Pyrex collectors! Since my post from the other day when I mentioned that I was only collecting 403 bowls, things have changed and I have obviously thrown that idea out the window and bought much more - and I couldn't be happier with my finds! If I ever had a window of opportunity to avoid catching Pyrexia, well, that ship has sailed, and it has sailed quickly.
I decided to go on a thrifting extravaganza on Friday, and I ended up staying out all afternoon and into the evening, hitting up every second-hand store I could before they closed for the day. I had a great time, and I found three Woodland mugs (bought for my mom, who has other pieces in this pattern) for $1 each, a 403 Homestead bowl for $3.99, a 401 Horizon Blue bowl for $1.99, a clear glass jug with stopper for $2 (does anyone know anything about this piece?), and three Butterfly Gold mugs for $1 each. Yay!
I also have to share the crazy, wild giddiness I felt after leaving each store with my loot. I texted my mom mid-thift, and then called her as soon as I got home. She answered the phone not with "Hello?" but with "Tell me what you got!!" I squealed with delight, and we immediately got right down to Pyrex business...
OMG will this gene be passed on to our children? I do see signs already...
ReplyDeleteI went Pyrexting (Pyrex thrifting) on Friday too and pulled quite a good haul. I will post as soon as I have a chance to photograph. I too had that giddy feeling, especially when the lady at SA discounted most of my items "for waiting so patiently in line"! (There was a sale on clothing so the line was a bit long).
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about not being able to focus on collecting only one particular type of Pyrex. When you see a mint piece in the store, you can't leave it behind!
Welcome to the 'mania' and your wonderful finds. I like that giddy feeling also! :)
ReplyDeleteIn our family, the mania was passed UP to me, the mom, from my daughter Libby, who is a member of this collective. I think I might have to join, too....
ReplyDeleteVery nice finds!! I was like you, I was only going to collect specific types and colors of Pyrex.....hmmmmmm.....that lasted about a month, if that long!! LOL. This Pyrexia is like a drug, and I'm in withdrawals right now because I haven't found ANY Pyrex this past week! :(
ReplyDeleteThey all look great Carla--I have caught the spirit too now!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! I decided to put milk in the glass container, and the white shows off the gold flowered pattern beautifully!
