My daughter is 2 and she knows Mommy loves "Pyrek" as she calls it. :)<br /><br />@beetree - They really are sturdy. I LOVE my Pyrex dishes and I definitely recommend them. Hope you can find you a set soon! I loved Nancy Drew books as a girl and now I am collecting them to read again and for my daughter to read one day.<br /><br />@ Roxanne - that is a great idea of collecting all of the colors of the dinnerware! What a bright and pretty table setting that will be.Erin {Erin Ink}https://www.blogger.com/profile/07425001242520520136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761058064933339220.post-6439993769403555492011-01-30T11:40:55.622-08:002011-01-30T11:40:55.622-08:00I think I'm kind of strange in that my #1 wish...I think I'm kind of strange in that my #1 wish is to find pieces of the dinnerware - the flamingo, lime, turquoise, etc. Although now, you probably couldn't tell it for all the mixing bowls, fridgies & casseroles I've picked up along the way :-)<br /><br />Great collection!Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245088245633414136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761058064933339220.post-17194004552137037292011-01-29T19:45:49.229-08:002011-01-29T19:45:49.229-08:00I just found 2 Pyrex saucers today at the thrift s...I just found 2 Pyrex saucers today at the thrift store! I didn't get them, because there were only two, and they were tea saucers- just a bit small for what I need. But I was taken at how thick and sturdy they were...if there were more I definitely would've snatched them up. BTW, love the Nancy Drew books! I used to have the set, had to sell them when we moved. Now my daughters love to collect them. :)beetreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259952595644208832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761058064933339220.post-30996406809481361482011-01-29T17:38:22.048-08:002011-01-29T17:38:22.048-08:00I pick them up at estate sales mostly, and I love ...I pick them up at estate sales mostly, and I love the bright ( and sometimes 70s) colors too!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365849029941325950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761058064933339220.post-81119629295939511202011-01-29T16:37:23.386-08:002011-01-29T16:37:23.386-08:00I began to want sturdy dishes...we are not a parti...I began to want sturdy dishes...we are not a particularly dainty family. I am drawn to the things that demand respect, that have stood the test of time...beautiful, practical and functional. I found, while looking for vintage kitchen items at our GW a fabulous Pyrex lime square baker...as well as a turquoise Club brand sauce pan. The vibrant colors were intoxicating and I have had the fever ever since! I have gotten quite a few people hooked since then...in fact just this past week my 5 year old said he wanted to take "Mommy's pretty Pyrex for show and tell"!eclectimomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578184870615265571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761058064933339220.post-39722684675583780642011-01-29T16:17:16.591-08:002011-01-29T16:17:16.591-08:00I was given my first piece an aqua colored bowl by...I was given my first piece an aqua colored bowl by an older neighbor when my kids were very small later I found a pink one!Now I am keepin my eye out for yellow and orange(the same bowl) just different color.
