Dry spell ends....

Well, thanks to my son my Pyrex dry spell finally ended this weekend!! Look what my son (who's secretly a Pyrex maniac) brought to me!!

A set of Autumn Wheat Cinderella bowls

And, a Verde casserole (no lid)

I've been so busy at work for the past couple of weeks, I haven't really done a whole lot of thrifting. But, hopefully that will change this weekend when hubby and I take a little mini road trip to Alabama.

Craft Supplies + Pyrex = Love

POpping in to share how, or rather where, I keep my yummy spools of twine.

This little Autumn Harvest 401 (found at the thrift for 99 cents) holds them perfectly.

Crafting and Pyrex....does it get any better?

And while I'm here, is anyone else dying for yard sale season to start up for Pyrex hunting?

New additions!

I did find some Pyrex goodies that I didn't have during my Maine getaway...Take a look!

I can't help but feel that Pyrex and kitty cats make a fantastic pair!

Her's Boubou with a small crazy daisy casserole 3$ @ Cliff's in Maine.

 Bob is glancing at my new Autumn Harvest glass canister also bought from Cliff's in Maine. I was happy to fork 5$ for this because I'd never seen one in the flesh before!

Have a great evening :)

Pyrex and playdates: a confession...

Hey, y'all! I am Heather from over at June {Vintage} and I am super excited to be apart of The Pyrex Collective! And since I want to get to know everyone, I will start off my first post with a confession:

I plan playdates around the accessibility of thrift stores.

Let me elaborate: we live on the edge of a military base in a little vacation town...there are no thrift stores relatively near-by and they all require atleast a 45 minute drive. So, when my little man and I head into town to visit parks and preschool pals, mama is always looking to make sure she gets to look for her a little Pyrex. And because the average age in my county is 24 {seriously, 30-something is ancient around here!}, thrifted Pyrex is a rarity in these parts. But after planning a playdate in a new area in order to stop by a never-thrifted store, I found a mini-collection of precious Pyrex bowls:

From top to bottom: Woodland, Friendship, Spring Blossom, and Autumn Harvest

They are all the tiny size bowls {mostly 1.5 pts...}

I am most excited about the tiny Friendship Cinderella mixing bowl...While its paint has some flaws, the colors are perfect, the milk glass is pristine and white, and it is my first piece in this pattern...

And to be honest...I don't even remember how the playdate went...

Do you have a collector's confession to make? I can't wait to get to know all of you {your blogs, your collections!} better!

Autumn Finds

I really haven't been thrifting a lot lately. First, because of a lack of paycheck (boo!!!!) and secondly there just isn't a whole lot of time in my day. I finally received a paycheck this last week so I made my way to a few thrifts with the little bit of time I had. What did I find?

PYREX!!!!!

Last night at the Salvation Army, I found this orange baking dish. How perfect is this for Halloween? I want to go and buy a bunch of the mini pumpkins and gourds and make a centerpiece for my dining room table. I just love it!

I found these bowls on Thursday at the other Salvation Army. It is a set of Autumn Harvest mixing bowls. It is missing the largest bowl the 444.  This is the first time I have found a set together. I think I may move some things around on my china hutch and display them for fall.

And finally.....

I have found my first Pyrex coffee pot. It is missing the lid but it doesn't matter.

 I just love the starburst design.

IHappy Thrifting Everyone!

 

Autumn Harvest & Friends

Happy Autumn from my Pyrex collection to yours!

Land-O-Pyrex and Butter Dish Follow-Up

Here in the land of Pyrex....it was jam time!

You can spy the 444 Butterprint bowl on the left. I had a lot of blackberries, 4 kilos to be exact, so I made 14 jars (all sterilized and processed) and had some left over for a big 2 cups jar and a small fridgie full!

Delicious with butter on a toast!

Now for the butter dishes! Thank you SO much for all your delightful and helpful comments! I was able to re-arrange the cupboard when I was preparing for the jam. I had a lot of mason jars in it; so off to be filled with jam they went and I was able to keep all 7 in the cupboard with the Autumn Harvest one in front, just waiting for a big stick of butter!

It ends well for this Pyrex nut! When there's Pyrex ,there's a way!  

Butter Dishes

The other day my better half asked me if we really needed all those butter dishes in the cupboard....

I was going to say YES YES YES! But then I realized that we hadn't put butter in a butter dish since FOREVER!

Of course as a MAJOR Pyrex hoarder I want all my pieces with me all the time....The Pyrex channel...Just Pyrex....24 hours a day!

But as a somewhat reasonnable person, I will put them away in the basement and just keep one in the cupboard in case I have company and need to serve butter...

Now which one would you keep?
