A Happy Mail Day!

After around four years of searching, the elusive Blowing Leaves has joined my little Pyrex family. I know I said I was downsizing, but there's always room for those special pieces..right? I hadn't even seen a Blowing Leaves on online auction sites, but a flickr friend gave me some searching tips and a recommended search of 'mint Pyrex' popped up during one of my rounds. I decided to click, just for the heck of it. A few pieces down there was what looked like a regular turquoise 024. I clicked anyway, and found this beauty for less than $10! I couldn't believe it. It's not in perfect shape, but I don't care at all. I was so excited to get it in the mail today.

I also got this Friendship round casserole lid. I've been really loving the opaque lids lately, especially Friendship and Daisy. I was never crazy about them before, but I guess my Pyrex tastes are changing. Not Pyrex, but the sweet little owl fabric came today too. Definitely a happy mail day for me.

    Awwww thrifted treasure, those are the worst mail days. I hope tomorrow brings you something better!

    Vonlipi - I hope you find one soon too! This and Cloverberry have been my most sought after finds for more than 4 years. I don't think I'll ever find that cloverberry though.

    tweed fox - what a lucky find!!! I would have been ecstatic to just come across it like that. It is one of the hardest to find pieces of Pyrex I think. I've only seen a few floating around flickr.

    Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. I love being able to share this obsession with others!
