Can This Be Real?

I picked up this bowl at my local thrift store last week.

  It has one paint loss spot and one scratch, but...it's speckled!

As soon as I saw the speckles, I knew it was something special.  At first I thought they were grease or what I think of as 'old lady dirt' -- greasy spots that get so baked on they almost never come off.  Then I realized it was all over the entire Flamingo Pink painted surface.

I've never seen speckled Pyrex, other than the tan country type from the 1970s.  Can this be real?  I'm wondering if it's one of the experimental or limited runs that I've read about in my Pyrex book.  No matter what, I'm pretty excited!

Can any of you tell me more about it?

Pink Pyrex Loaf Pan Full o Tomatoes!

Hello Pyrex Collective, SixBalloons here! I hope everyone had a great summer thrifting, barbecuing, and gardening... That's what I've been busy with.

I found a great loaf pan at my church thrift for $1.50!

I really like the size of this. It can use a bit of cleaning, me thinks, but I see some banana bread in my future.

Please stop by sometime and say hello at sixballoons.blogspot.com!

Vacation finds

Hello fellow Pyrexers! I haven't had anything to post lately because I was on a somewhat self-imposed Pyrex hiatus. That all changed this past week when I was on vacation in Tennessee, and North Georgia. I found some great Pyrex at pretty good prices, and left a lot of over-priced Pyrex behind, lol! So, without further ado, here's the loot...

Hope that wasn't too much of a picture overload! Aside from the Pyrex, we had a great time even though it was just as hot up there as it was here in Florida. I'll have some more pictures to post tomorrow of today's flea market finds! So, stay tuned! :)

The Pastels of Spring

Even yesterday's pyrex-in-waiting (...to be found) seemed to sense that Spring is on the way!

(and I couldn't help but add my first-ever Kaj Franck enamelware find)

Happy Spring!

Pink Pyrex & A Sneak Peek

Here is my newest addition to my vintage pyrex collection:

More Flamingo Pink!

A pretty flamingo pink round baking dish!  It didn't look this nice when I picked it up at the local VV - it was covered in yellow grease stains.  With a little ceramabryte & TLC it was transformed into this beauty.  It will have a permanent home in my studio with my matching pink casserole I found the other week.

And the sneak peek?  This cute little vintage sheet fat quarter bundle I am giving away as part of the Vintage Sheet Blog's one year celebration.  Visit Pink Fawn's Notebook tomorrow for all the details!

Flamingo Pink

This is not a post about those kitschy pink flamingos you see in people's gardens.  It's wayyyy better than that:

A $2 Flamingo Pink Pyrex Casserole!

I found this beauty at the local Salvation Army, while I was on a mission to find a white bed sheet for a project.  I found a white sheet, but had to peruse the whole store (because you never know when you might have that great Pyrex find).  Sure enough, this pink lady was sitting on the shelf waiting for me.  She doesn't have a lid - but when I visit the store again, I will check to see if it has surfaced somewhere.

Pretty & utilitarian.

I already used her this weekend at my booth.  I think her permanent home will be on display in my studio storing scraps of fabric.

Happy President's Day! Did you find any great pyrex deals this weekend?
