Redemption or Failed Resolution?

A few weeks back I confessed I was trying to exercise pyrex restraint and passed on two yellow gooseberry bowls.  Of course, it didn't take long until I was suffering from leaver's remorse (only heightened by all of the "you did what...?" comments :-).  So since I had to drive back through the same small town on another business trip yesterday, I decided that if they were still there, they'd be coming home with me.

Welcome to your new home, yellow gooseberry!

    You did what any Pyrexic would do, give those little orphans a home. Good for you!

    YAY! I'm so glad you got those. Yellow Gooseberry might actually be the pattern I find the most often and in the WORST shape and it makes me want to cry every time. Even boyfriend is starting to notice and get emotional about it! I shall live vicariously through you now, enjoy those!

    Thanks everyone. And if I decide that I'm due for a pyrex purge, I'll let folks know if they go up on a pyrex for trade list!
