Pure Pyrex Pleasure


I added two great pieces to my Pyrex collection this weekend. The small dip bowl from the Balloons pattern. eeek! At this point, I'm wondering how long I can hold out for a thrifted matching chip bowl before I breakdown and buy one on Etsy or eBay.
I also picked up the Barbed Wire divided casserole dish with a lid! I've already planned out my Christmas dishes using Aqua Snowflake casseroles and Pink Gooseberry bowls... but I think I may need to sneak in a green bean casserole in this Barbed Wire dish!

This week I also acquired a mid century modern hutch for the sole purpose of displaying my Pyrex collection. As soon as I get everything artfully arranged, I'll post some pics! Hope everyone is having a great week =)

  4. I'm jealous too! I have yet to find a balloon bowl. I did however purchase the "barbwire" divided dish (without the lid) from a Goodwill store the other day! I am using it to display my Christmas cards I receive this year.

  6. I have the barbed wire, too. It's such a different, cool pattern. I love it. I seriously am jealous of the balloon bowl.

  8. No rack =( I don't own a single stand. I know they're out there, but I never find them!
