Pyrex, Pyrex and More Pyrex

My husband and I went away for the long weekend - it's fun to see different things and explore new areas of the province.   There are no antique shops in this area so it's always a treat to find new places - he was looking for vintage items for the game room - me, looking for Pyrex, of course and anything else that's vintage and took my eye. 

I have read about so many blog members having luck at church sales - it was a great day for an outdoor one - I made a purchase - these two little Delphite tea cups - 50 cents each - I thought to myself, this is a great start....


I hardly ever find anything in the Pink Flamingo, I have the pie plate - now I have the cake pan, #221 and made in Canada, it was $10.  I took the picture outside, it might look a bit red but it's really a Flamingo Pink.


A speckled loaf pan - never saw one before.  After I got home and researched, I now know it's Desert Dawn - it looks like it was never used.  I also got this little Town and Country fridgie at the same shop, everything was half price - the loaf pan was $7, fridgie sold for $2.50. 



Luck must be on my side, I found a nice piece of Daisy when I was in Prince Edward Island, found another piece this weekend - a divided dish - I think I'm getting a real divided collection going - I have seven of them now.  My husband bought a couple of things at this shop too - the clerk must have made a mistake because the total was $10 but the dish alone was $10.


These two little pieces were cheap - $2 each - 401 Cinderella - not sure yet which set that goes with  and a 473 Homestead (1 qt) - no lid - that size is great for so many things!!



My last purchases were great - another piece of Flamingo - 2 qt round casserole - $3 - it was a little bit rough, I've had two turns trying to clean it - it's looking better. That was lucky finding two pieces of Pink Flamingo in one weekend..

Gooseberry, 443 - $10


I couldn't believe when I saw this sitting on the bottom shelf of a 40% off booth - I figured it would be still too high - it was $12 - I didn't even pick it up right away - just a lapse of judgement there for a few minutes - another fellow Pyrex person might have been in there too and scooped it up.  It's a beautiful old promotional - Green Dot/Squares -  lucky find for me!!  What did you find over the weekend??
