Charcoal Snowflake

  

This is my new piece of Charcoal Snowflake, it's a 548B - 1 1/4 quart - is this a space saver?  It's really small, I've never seen one this size before.

This is my Charcoal collection, it's my very favourite pattern - I always thought the dish in the stand was a space saver - it's a JAJ piece.  I thought I read once that there were two different sizes?

I had some other neat finds this week, if you care to read about them, click here

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!

January Pyrex

I'm usually a bit down in early January because I have to put away Xmas....

All the tree's ornements waiting for their boxes....

How about planting a succulent in a Terra mug? It will spruce up your house for sure!

 Yum! A darling Charcoal Pyrex holds picadillo leftovers....

Don't forget to make Pyrex part of your everyday life! ;)

Xmas with Pyrex...

Xmas with Pyrex was a lot more low key than last year...

Last year was a retro appetizer supper complete with cocktail weiners wrapped in bacon...

Maple Tarlets in Pink Daisy...

Tangerines in a big momma Delphite bowl (Pyrex of course)

It's not that I don't LOVE Pyrex anymore but different year, different meal (and Pyrex)...

Cheese fondue appetizer, vintage tablecloth and Pyrex serving bowls.

Bread dressing in Turquoise Snowflake

Fruit Squares in Charcoal Snowflake

Ok maybe I didn't use tons of Pyrex in my Xmas meal...But I sure use it all the time :)
