California Pyrex Dreamin'

Hi there!  This is Anna, resident Yarn Wrangler and thrifter extraordinaire, popping over from Victory Garden Yarn to introduce myself and say hello!

I happen to be on a small sojourn from the cool, calm, and collected Pacific Northwest to the (very) hot and not-too-bothered Central Valley of California.  Upon disembarking my wee plane (into the ninety degree heat, I might continue to add), a large vehicle (with plenty of room for transporting things...such as Pyrex) was waiting for me, complete with familial chauffeur ready to hunt and gather vintage milk glass of a particular persuasion.

What we found was...well, you just have to see it:

Old Town Antiques

And it continued throughout the day. As the heat rose, these two wilty hunters couldn't tell if they were feeling faint due to the excessive heat or the overwhelming displays of Pyrex they encountered...

Rocky Hill Antiques

All of this bounty was not lost on these weary and searching souls.  Oh no, for our brains were suddenly clear and our hands were able to reach for shiny objects.

Central Valley Pyrex
Cradles and fridgies and baking pans and pixies!

OMG NIB!
Perfectly pristine and packaged Pyrex! 

We think we may have found Pyrex Heaven...but it's hard to say...as Miss Scarlet would say, tomorrow IS another day...

Drumroll Please!


Remember this?

Are you sitting down???


Of course curiosity got the best of me!


                                                         I'm holding my breath now
                                                                      Easy
                                                                            Easy
                                                                                 Easy
                                                 
                                                Must breathe now...slowly...everything is going to be fine




TADA!

To tell the truth I thought it would have more wrapping!

Here's the pamphlet...


The lid....


The beauty

Never touched, never used!



I'm glad I bought it and even happier I opened it.

On a future post I will show you the delicious pamphlet!

Once in a Lifetime

While minding my business and hunting for Pyrex in a  Maine flea market....I saw this!

Yep 3 different sizes of  Terra casseroles! As you may or may not know, it is quite unusual to find them and in boxes...WOW AIE CARAMBA!


Pyrex produced a bowl set, a casserole set and a dish set in that pattern. In my humble opinion it was not a big commercial success...Since the paint is matte, it scratches very easily and looks dull.
The price was very reasonnable and I don't have any Terra casseroles, so I'm looking at the boxes and wondering which I should take....And I see that the largest one is still in the un-opened box....

WOW UN-OPENED BOX!!! WOW PYREX MINT-IN-UN-OPENED BOX!!!

Ok I'm getting it! Should I get it? OMG what is that??? A 50% off sign on all in that booth????

OMGOMGOMG THE PYREX CASSEROLE IN THE UN-OPENED BOX IS ONLY 4.00$!!!

GET ME TO THE CASH' GET ME A DEFFIBRILATOR , I'M HAVING A SEIZURE!!!


Ok I survived the flea market...and I was able to drag my ass back to the room....



 It's in my room still un-opened.

I'm getting curious....Will I open it? Will I wait?

I shook the box so I know it's not in pieces....

What would you do?
