Best Pyrex Finds of the Year!

Hello Pyrex Collective - it's SixBalloons here! So last week, I posted about things I regret buying at the thrift store and got some really encouraging feedback saying that I should talk about some of the hits!

Of the Pyrex finds, I have two standouts in mind:

My Promotional Pyrex Aqua Blue Scrolls bowl from 1959 - I cannot believe it was sitting on a shelf for two days at Value Village before I came and rescued it.

This glass Pyrex Measuring Cup likely from the 1930s! It has a chip on the handle but I love it because I use it EVERY time that I bake. It's my go-to liquid measure cup.

I hope everyone had a wonderful year and can share what their fave finds were too! Check out my vintage goodies of the year at Best SixBalloons Thrift Finds of the Year!

My First Two Trades!

Cosmo casserole from Elizabeth, unusual Square Flowers casserole from Jenna, and recently thrifted Horizon/Scrolls cinderella bowl

A few weeks back you might remember my rant about the ridiculous price an antique mall dealer put on a Cosmopolitan Casserole.  Well, fellow Pyrex Collective-ite Elizabeth posted a comment to say that she actually had the bottom of the casserole (to match the lonely lid that I had found).  After a few emails, the Cosmo bottom was on its way to me, while a couple of butterfly gold pieces were on their way to Elizabeth.  I can't tell you how excited I am to finally have a complete Cosmo!!

This was actually only my second trade - the first one being a great trade with Jenna (from Pyrex Collective II).  Ok, let me qualify that - a great trade for me....not so great for her as the *#@* post office decided to manhandle the package I sent and two of the pieces arrived in, well, pieces.  Word of advice - Insurance!

Needless to say, I was very nervous about the post office's performance for my second trade with Elizabeth, but lo and behold, package insurance does wonders for encouraging them to *be careful*!

Anyway, thanks ladies for the great trades!  More photos of the rest of my trade with Jenna coming soon to my website... Harriet and Quince
