Pyrex Karma

I know it's been a while since I posted, but it's not because I haven't found any Pyrex. Pyrex karma has been really good for me the last several weeks, but I don't want to talk about it too much, or I might jinx the good vibes! LOL...

Several weeks ago my son, whom I've now officially nicknamed my "Pyrex Proxy" texted me several pictures of some Horizon Blue pieces to see if I had them. Well, I only had one of the pieces he was looking at but none of the others, so he went ahead and got them all for me!!

Aren't they pretty? I think am so lucky to have a "Pyrex Proxy" who looks out for me!!

Horizon

I was out garage sale-n this weekend. No pyrex to be found any where!! :(

We stumbled accross an estate sale and lookie what I found! Not garage sale priced, $23 in all, but I have never seen Horizon in Calgary and was happy to pay that. It's in great shape too :)

Pyrex Price Gouging

Would you pay $50 for this???!?

I sure hope not!! But an unscrupulous (or uneducated) thrift store owner was banking on it. This is one of the gifts a friend gave me. I know for sure that she didn't pay $50 for it.

This brings my collection of divided dishes to three. Down from four, because today I gifted my barbed wire divided to a friend (who squealed and 'fake fainted' to the floor with delight! Admit it...how many of you have done the same ;) ) She had admired it out loud several times in the past couple of months. I knew from the moment I found it that it would be perfect for her, and planned to give it to her as soon as I found a divided that I'd want to keep for myself. I am quite happy with my trio.

And here's a coincidence...at the moment I found the Barbed Wire at Value Village, I got a call on my cell (I was still in Value Village!) from my other friend to tell me that she had scored some great Pyrex finds for me that day, including the Daisy divided casserole. She was calling me with an armload of Pyrex while I was standing there with an armload of Pyrex!

my newest (pyrex) family members

i know i have said it a thousand times before... but trading pyrex is the way to go! it has taken my collecting to a whole new level (haha do i sound like an addict?)
recently i saw this beauty...
i put my piece in the mail and to my surprise it was much larger than i expected!

my most recent trade was a sandalwood casserole for this cute sugar and creamer set

but not all my finds are freebies... i recently ran across this spring blossom for just $3. and yes, i already have it. but who could say no?

Blue Horizon Store & Serve

Happy Thanksgiving, neighbours to the South! It's SixBalloons here.


I wanted to share a few photos of a really nice Horizon Blue Store and Serve casserole I found a while back. When I first spotted this piece, it was the first time I had seen this Pyrex pattern. I thought it was nice how the floral band extended almost around the entire bowl, and how there were alternating pattern "panels".


This piece was missing its lid but still in great condition.


Can't wait to see what else is sitting on your shelves!
