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 

marywaldsvintageplace.blogspot.com, and show us what you are up to while you wait for spring blossoms.

I found some!

Pyrex finds have been few and far apart lately.

And the few times I spot some it is oh so sad

                                           Really??? .99 cents for this???

                                On my last roadtrip to NY state I found these super cute
                                 Pyrex Restaurant Ware side dishes.

                                             The stamps says Double Tough!

                                             And what do you know? I didn't have those!

                                            SWEET!

                                             Later on on my blog I will be blogging about Cheesy Baked Quinoa
                                             In Pyrex of course! Drop by for a visit!
                                                

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

Lil Bub lubs Pyrex!

The most popular cat on the internet right now, Lil Bub, apparently loves Pyrex! This blue butterprint bowl appears in the background of a couple of Lil Bub's Friday Zone videos!

The Pyrex Drug Connection

Over on Pyrex Collective III last month, Christina highlighted a strange fashion trend involving the word Pyrex. It turns out that Pyrex has become a popular slang term because the tempered glass can be used to cook crack cocaine. You might've already noticed that if you browse #pyrex on Instagram, it's a mix of pretty vintage housewares and drug paraphernalia. So I made a Storify explaining it: Pyrex: Collectible Vintage Housewares or Crack Cocaine Tool?

The more you know!

White Pyrex

I just about passed this one by - have you seen white Pyrex before?   At first, I thought it might have been a piece that had spent a bit too much time in the dishwasher, it only cost 50 cents so I bought it and after researching, I find  it really is a piece of  Pyrex and it's called white or opal white - there's a full set of mixing bowls - this is the little 401....   And, if you care to see the beautiful Pyrex I got for Christmas - come on over to my blog - it really is a sight to behold - to me anyways!!

Help Me Identify This JAJ Casserole

I haven't posted on the Collective in ages, I figure that if you have a Pyrex question, this is the best place to come - I found this great JAJ piece today, I've looked on the internet and found one picture of the same casserole, but the pattern wasn't identified there either.  Anybody know what it's called??

It's JAJ, made in England, 524 is the number on the bottom  -  I was really surprised to see it was Pyrex!   Too bad Halloween is just over....  I paid $3

road trip pyrex finds

Last month I went on a three-week road trip to celebrate the release of my new craft business book. Along the way I didn't do as much thrifting as you might've expected (mainly because I recently quit my job to go freelance!). But I did make a few Pyrex finds:



The beautiful pink-on-white gooseberry casserole with lid was a gift from my friend Jessica, who is a master thrifter. The larger spring blossom casserole with white lid I found at a junk shop for $6. Last week I found two small yellow square dip bowls from the chip and dip set for $2 each.

On my road trip, I stopped by the Corning Museum of Glass, which was awesome. I stayed near Pyrex Street, no joke!





I spent a lot of time at the museum and its library doing research on Pyrex. :)

I was fully intending on taking it easy on Pyrex acquisitions now that I'm funemployed, but then I found this casserole with lid and holder today at my local St. Vincent De Paul for $7. I've never encountered this gold on green pattern before -- can anyone identify it?

Just an inkling...

Hello Pyrex friends!  Anna from Victory Garden Yarn here.  I recently took a trip to visit family...and returned home to my pokey little Seattle apartment with an armload of new Pyrex!  The fridgies above are just an inkling of the perfectly pretty pieces I found on my journey to California.  You can see the rest of my newest additions by hopping over to my blog, The Victory Garden: Yarn and Curiosities.

I must admit, I never thought I would find a Gooseberry fridgie in the wild, and it might just be my newest prized piece of Pyrex!

What are some of your most prized Pyrex pieces?

A Cozy Saturday Morning, brought to you by vintage Pyrex.

In the spirit of my last post,

I thought I'd share with you my Cozy Saturday Morning.

Brought to you [in part] by a lovely Pyrex piece :)

~*~*~*~*
Now it's back to the rest of my cozy day- fireplace, football game-watching, and Christmas list making. Yay! :)


XO, Jessica from Crafting Happiness

Beauty for trade!

Well I'm still rockin' the trades and so far it has been great!

Over the weekend I finally had time to take a pic of this sweety.....

Well it is for trade! Yep this is a Pyrex children's Circus plate.

Here a close-up.

Sorry for the pic quality.

The condition is mintish, no dings or scratches.

And stop by my blog to see what I got myself for my B-Day!

I fiiiinally found two vintage Pyrex pieces to share.  It's like a Pyrex desert around here.

In the Toronto Star today

There is an article about the fabulous show Mad Men, and this picture accompanies the article:

Can you spy the Pyrex? The details in Mad Men are impeccable as far as props from the era, really well researched. It really adds to the show and it is a visual pleasure to watch, especially if you like the style of the early 60's.

And Then Things Started to Look Up...

Today was a terribly depressing thrift day.  I decided to try a couple stores that I haven't been to in ages and nothing, nada, zilch.

So, alas, I nearly gave up, but decided to make one last stop, while at the same time employing a little positive visualization (as in: "I'm totally going to find something awesome at this next place.  No, really, I am.  Please, please, please...)

Lo and behold, something in the cosmos heard my plea and it worked.  These were all on my increasingly-pared-down wishlist, and for a steal...what are the odds?

I also snagged two Dansk Kobenstyle pots for under $5 (wahoo!!).  More about those here.

My first Delphite - $7.99

Designs 3 qt - $6.99

Pink gooseberry 501s - $1.99 each

Happy positive Pyrex visualization to everyone!

A Week of 444s

Daisy and Butterprint for $6.99 each and Pink Gooseberry for $5.99

I am swimming in cinderella mixing bowls.  It's gotten to the point where they're stacked two deep in the cupboards and are lining the basement shelves.  I can't even offload them onto my friends anymore (their Pyrex problem addiction clearly isn't as full blown as mine).  So I'm trying to be very picky now when I come across any while thrifting.  But seriously, how could I pass up butterprint and gooseberry?  I'll admit, I already have a daisy 444, but I love it so much that I figured it would become my trusty back-up (which is pretty much my rationale for everything, hence my overcrowded shelves).

Anyhow, the prices and condition were too good (and my addiction is too strong) - I couldn't leave them behind.

And so the cycle continues...<sigh>

An Unusual Pattern

It was slim pickings today at Goodwill, but I came across an interesting pattern that I've never seen before.

The piece was in fairly decent shape, but since I have round Cinderella casseroles coming out of my ears, I made a bold decision and left it behind. I snapped a pic, however, to share here since the pattern was so unusual.

The rust color was similar to the Autumn Harvest, and it said 'Corning, NY' on the bottom (in addition to 'Pyrex'), so I'm thinking maybe it's a newer pattern, circa 1980s.  Plus, look at those roses, don't they scream 1980s?

And here I thought I'd seen them all...

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.

Hello, my name is Angie and I am a Pyrexahaulic ;)

I must say I feel blessed to be in the company of such amazing, fellow Pyrex lovers! I have been so caught up in my search for Pyrex that I have failed to introduce myself and make my introductory post so..Hi! Here's a quick bio about how I became a vintage Pyrex girl:

• had to take medical leave for Spring semester
• spent exorbitant amount of time online
• began blogging
• joined Pinterest
• "met" Jeni , In Color Order
• got inspired
• started thrifting regularly at Goodwill
• first flea market trip on May 7th
• vintage Pyrex collection started on..May 7th !!!!!

So, there you have it my fellow Pyrexahaulics...the rest is, well, history-in-the-making. I am loving this new passion and my dear boyfriend is totally on board, bless his heart. He will be off for 7 glorious days starting Friday and a-thrifting we shall go...yay!!! I cannot promise I  will blog on a schedule because I'm a bit ( a lot) ADHD. I will, however, promise to uphold the standards of Pyrexahaulics everywhere...my Pyrex will be hunted, purchased, hand washed, dried, photographed, adored, and lovingly displayed to the best of my ability. And, yes, I will share my adventures with all of you..as often as ... Hey, is the Pyrex on my watch list about to end?!!!
Happy Pyrexing!!!

my Pyrex in action...Cobb salad...mmmm, good! I currently have the most Pyrex in Spring Blossom Green and Square Flowers ;)
