Pink Gooseberry Playing with Pink LuRay ~ Pink for Spring!

Pink Gooseberry and Pink LuRay are "springing up" in our kitchen while we wait for our pink tulips to spring up in the garden.

Happy Spring Everybody!

Stop on by my place

Cleaning the Daisies!

Hi Pyrex friends!  I recently found this little gem of Pink Daisy goodness at a thrift and have embarked on a very lengthy journey of spiffing it back up to its original glory!

I have documented the various stages of cleanliness over on my blog, and while it now looks much better than it did when this photograph was taken, I still need some help...

Anyone who loves a good makeover story or has any cleaning suggestions might want to pop over and take a peek to see what I've done and what still needs doing-I'd really appreciate any tips and tricks!

The Victory Garden: Yarn and Curiosities

Completed My first Set!

This past weekend I completed this set. The blue bowl was finally found!

I blogged all about it and have way more photos there. I actually think I took over 40 photos of just the bowls. No I did not put them all up on my blog nor was I going to plaster them here. But I totally thought about it. My excitement is that much. they are fabulous in every photo!

Finally, your home Mr. Blue!

Pink Daisy on the right is so faded. I don't care and neither will my meatloaf.

It was a wonderful Pyrex weekend indeed for me.

Inspired.

 Hi Pyrex friends!

I recently looked to the creamy pastel colors of vintage Pyrex and my collection of vintage knitting needles for a little bit of inspiration for a new set of items I crocheted for my Etsy shop.

I just had to share the pretty photos with you all!

If you'd like to see exactly what I created for my Etsy shop, please pop over to my little blog to find out!

Happy Colors, Happy Dance, a Lid Question!

Look what turned up at Goodwill this weekend and came home with me!

I'd say it's pink, but is there an official name for the color?  Against what I thought was a pink piece of fabric, it looks a little more orange-pink.  Anyway, I've wanted this particular color 2-quart round casserole for awhile.  I even bought what I thought was the lid for it months ago, because I thought sure as anything that when I eventually found the casserole, it probably wouldn't have a lid.  I was right about finding it lidless, but I think I may have been wrong about the type of lid.  This lid is marked 684-C A-1.

It fits, and it matches the style of the 8-oz mini casserole with lid, but after seeing a page today on Erin's blog from the Pyrex book she got for her birthday, I think there may have been a different lid that came with the casserole.

Like this one, maybe?  This was a random Pyrex lid my mom had.  There's a number on the rim, 624C B-33.

And I don't think I ever posted about last month's find, a yellow Daisy divided casserole.

Both of these pieces make me think warm and happy thoughts in the middle of this frosty winter.  Who's ready for a January thaw?

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!

I found this stunner last weekend. Pink is not a color I collect so it will go into my etsy shop but it's really pretty. Can you guys educate me on the difference between Pink Gooseberry and Flamingo Pink?

My first Pink Gooseberry

Well.....Well......WELL!!

We finally meet.

I just found my very first piece of Pink Gooseberry. Its a 2 1/2 quart bowl. I paid $10.00. I found it at an antique mall along with the tablecloth its on. That is another love of mine. Vintage linen tablecloths. They go perfect with Pyrex. I think that is the most money I spent on a single Pyrex dish. I am very frugal and don't usually go to the antique mall for Pyrex. I don't buy any online either. I just stick to my local thrifty stores. Sometimes my friends email me and say hey I found a so and so Pyrex dish at my thrift store you want me to get it for you? I usually say no. The fun for me is finding it locally. The thrill is the hunt. Plus there is no shipping cost.

More Pink Deliciousness!

I can't help loving the green and Pink combo! As a teenager I loved the preppy kelly green and pink anything!

This is yesterday's cuke harvest. I already had a big bag in my fridge so I made cream of cucumber.Delicious!

I got this utility dish for 99 cents last year at the Salvation army. It was so cruddy I thought it was really Salmon colored and not that sweet pink I love so much!

Don't forget it's Retro Tuesday over @ my blog Vonlipis Favorites and @ Tracy's Crazy Suburban Mom

Yes we are usually a 2 or 3 people link party! Join the fun! Link up!

Pink Deliciousness

YUM! Pink Butterprint! This is my only piece. I never saw others in my thrifting journeys....Maybe this year on my trip to Maine...Maybe I can find a couple of pieces I haven't suck out yet! LOL

(legend has it that I sucked out all the Pyrex of the eastern seaboard....I beg to differ! I try but to no avail!)

This cute pic was taken in my garden with a fuschia cosmos. Lovely combo!

P is for Pretty Pink Pyrex

Hello, my name is Betty and I am addicted to Pyrex.

Well... not ALL Pyrex. I'm a little bit picky about what I like.
According to Jen at The Thriftshop Romantic I suffer from enjoy having Pyrexia an addiction that affects one in ten.

Whenever I go to a Goodwill, Estate Sale, or other Thrifting location, I make a beeline for wherever Pyrex will be.My mother got some Pyrex and Corningware dishes as wedding gifts but neither of us was really excited about Pyrex until fairly recently. About 2 years ago we were at one of our first estate sales ever and in the kitchen (my favorite room, of course!) there was a Pink Gooseberry Bake-Serve-Store in the smallest size for one dollar. My mother had never seen pink Pyrex (I had only ever really seen Spring Blossom) so we bought it.

That one piece was the beginning. We soon found out that not only was pink Pyrex lovely, it was seldom seen and exorbitantly priced.Now that Pyrex is on our radar we notice it at Goodwill and other thrifts but we don't see it often at Estate or Garage sales (unless you're DYING for blue cornflower). We regularly see it at Goodwill but it's rarely at the price and condition that we want.We have, however, been lucky enough to amass a fairly nice collection. My favorite pattern is Spring Blossom (fortunately very common), and I rarely have to pass it up. It has sold more pieces than any other pattern in Pyrex history and because of that I find it everywhere and often in good shape.


I believe in using my Pyrex because why else am I buying it? It is the superior option in bake ware and it's pretty. I even discovered after recently finding a lasagna pan that I didn't have to grease the pan before baking Pumpkin Bread in it.

My favorite item is my four quart cinderella bowl. It's Red but I wish I had it in Spring Blossom. Oh well.
