Pyrex Everywhere at Value Village

Hello Everyone, SixBalloons here! We were out of town last weekend in Victoria, BC and we thrifted it up, starting at a huge Value Village.

There I found several pieces of Pyrex, including an Opal Divided Dish, Shenedoah Casserole with lid, and dishwashered Terra casserole.


There were also several glass pitchers and carafes.


There was also a huge pile of Pyrex restaurant-ware in the red and gold trim.


Read more about the prices I saw there, and what I decided to do in the end at my original post. I spotted lots of other great items too, as that was definitely the largest Value Village store I have ever visited. Don't you just love thrifting while on vacation??

a very pyrex christmas

My mother knows me all too well:



Three Cinderella bowls and six Fireking mugs. I'd actually never seen that pattern before (and it wasn't in the big book, which I also got for Christmas), but someone on PyrexLove identified it very quickly as Shenandoah. Thanks, internets!



A trip to post-industrial northern Ohio means awesome thrifting.


[heaven sounds]

I didn't actually find any Pyrex at that Salvation Army, but I did make some huge scores later that evening:



Everything in this random shop was 30% off, so I ended up getting these four casseroles and two lids for about 10 bucks. Not shabby at all!



Oh, and sidenote? Only in post-industrial Ohio will your Pyrex purchases be wrapped in 20-year-old newspaper. Gee, I wonder if the USSR will survive?




(this guy knows what i'm talking about)

With this Pyrex binge, I'm finding myself in the position where I'm running out of room for my finds. (There should be a version of Hoarders that's just for Pyrex addicts, don't you think?) So I'm going to start putting stuff up for trade or post things on Etsy or something. But how can you ever decide which pieces to part with? I guess I've got to prioritize and figure out which patterns or styles I want to focus on. How do you all do it?
