I'm drooling over the Pyrex Christmas booty below. Way to go! I thought I'd share the piece I got for Christmas because my 12-year-old niece knew I collected Pyrex, found this Friendship dish at a thrift store, recognized it as Pyrex and paid for it out of her own pocket. I don't have this piece, either. Good going, Eden.P.S. My family is on board for tracking down Pyrex for me (either as a gift or to be reimbursed for later). Does anyone have any ideas on how to document one's Pyrex collection in a way that others could see what you have already and what you need? I was wondering about taking a few shots of the pieces I have and giving them to family members in one of those mini "bragging" photo albums you're supposed to use for baby pictures. I see the implications here. "Hmm, you don't have any pictures of your grandchild, but you've got a photo album filled with Pyrex pictures. You should talk to your daughter."
Chime in. To be honest, I sometimes forget what I've got - and my collection is fairly modest.

Friendship, luv it.
ReplyDeleteLove that dish!!!
ReplyDeleteA flickr account would be great for documenting and sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a bunch of flickr groups about Pyrex you can join and share your pictures with.
Love that Pyrex dish! I don't have a good way to figure out what I've got myself.
ReplyDeleteSweet piece of Pyrex and sweet niece! I wish I had a better way of documenting my Pyrex collection besides just photographing them. I think one of the collective members (JenB?) mentioned that she uses an Excel spreadsheet to keep up with hers. I might trying doing that because it seems it would be easier to carry around and refer to rather than photos.
ReplyDeleteI think that was me who mentioned an Excel spreadsheet! Boyfriend is an Excel whiz; me, not so much. He made an Excel sheet with not only all the important info like item numbers, colors, and photos, but he even put in a little 'notes' section in case say, the lid that came with a piece has a chip and we might happen upon a pristine replacement one day...
ReplyDeleteIt's REALLY nerdy, but I carry it around in my purse with me at all times...and it's actually come in very handy more times than I thought. You could probably make a public Google document in a similar fashion and send all your Pyrex hunters the link to it?
Maybe I should just do a whole post on the subject, I feel like I could keep rambling! :)
i printed the patterns from the pyrex files and gave to my mom to reference since she brings me 99% of mine. i now have a lot of pieces and she can't remember what she has brought me either, so i am gonna have to come up with something new and easy for her to use.
ReplyDeleteAlong the lines of Victory Garden Yarn, I would recommend creating a Google document, if you're on Gmail. I use them at work, and everyone can access it, make changes if needed and save, and it's a great resource for multiple people to view an information set, including images. And of course you can print it out and keep it in your purse!
ReplyDeletePS: Friendship is my favorite- great piece!
Happy New Year,
