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!

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.

My Second Pixie
These little guys seem to be rather hard to find at the thrifts. Perhaps they're easy to overlook since they're so small...the perfect size for tucking away behind a larger piece.
And finally, my first ever thrifting find of a complete set (and an affordable one at that - $12.99). Too bad I already had at least one of the cinderellas. Oh well.
And then there was the stuff that was just too cute to pass up...

Pyrex Fridgies!
Hello Pyrex Collective, it's SixBalloons here! I hope everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit and avoiding conflicts in mall parking lots...
I just wanted to share some cute refrigerator dishes that I found recently. The cute small round casserole dish with lid is my first pink piece, and I was really surprised to find the red fridgie in such great condition. I also really love the blue loaf pan's size and colour, so I was happy to stumble upon this "duplicate" for my collection.
I'm looking forward to having some time off next week... Merry Christmas to you all if I don't have anything else to share before then!

Pink and Grey and White, Oh My!
Hello there my good Pyrex people! It's Anna popping over from Victory Garden Yarn to share my latest pieces of Pyrex happiness!
One benefit of using a few found objects for my crafting business is that I am forced to go on quite extensive thrifting excursions on a somewhat regular basis. Bummer, eh? I'm always hunting for gently used vintage embroidery hoops...but you know, the housewares section is usually located two steps away from the craft section in most of the thrifts...
So they make it really easy for me to get a little business AND pleasure taken care of! I have dreams of owning an entire set of dove grey Pyrex dinnerware, so two salad plates and two teacups (even with a bit of a gold stripe still intact!) are a good start. Pink Gooseberry is always welcome on my (slightly bowing with too much weight) shelves. My Pink Gooseberry count has risen from one to three, yippee!
The opal loaf pan may look like your ordinary loaf pan...but when I consulted my handy dandy Pyrex spreadsheet that I carry around with me at all times (more on that some other day...) I realized that this one is actually a half inch larger on all sides than the one I already own. Score! I actually use my loaf pans a lot; not just for baking, but around the house and on shelves to corral my wayward mail, pens, business cards, fabric, you name it. The same with the few small fridgies I have found; quarters for laundry, business cards (ooh, that gives me a good idea for my upcoming craft booths, yes!), little bits of yarn I might need for package tying...fridgies are perfect!
And that teeny tiny little carafe looks quite familiar! I think I'll be putting some colored pencils in it to go with my other small glass carafe!
Which leads me to ask all you lovely people the question: What do you use your Pyrex for, other than baking and drooling over on your beautiful display shelves?
