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!

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?
