pyrex inspired crafting

Greetings from sunny England and happy new year to all you Pyremaniacs!

I've been attempting to cheer up January with a spot of Pyrex-inspired embroidery on some pretty vintage fabric I thrifted the other day.

Wishing wishing you all lots of luck in your Pyrex-hunting throughout 2012 x

Shining Pyrex - Thrifting in the Dark

The hubs and I went thrifting today, and it was kind of late by the time we got to the last stop. They actually turned the lights out on us while we were in this humongous 3-story antique mall, where we remarked to each other it wouldn't be the worst place to get lost and have to spend the night. So we kept wandering a bit, seeing what we could see with what little light drifted in through a window or door here and there.

I had just hit my favorite seller's booth when the manager appeared. He sighed and gave us a look that said, "What are you still doing here?"

He quickly herded us through the maze of booths to the cash register, where I paid for the piece of Pyrex I had just picked up before being busted but hadn't had much time or light to inspect yet.

I think it was a good buy.

It's a 2-1/2 quart Cinderella bowl in a pattern I hadn't seen before. A quick Google search indicates the pattern is called Embroidery and it may have been a 1958 promotional item (what exactly does that mean?). Does anyone have any other info on it?

I sure love the color.
