New Dot Pyrex - Finally!

My first ever "New Dot" Pyrex!

I changed my blog name from momwaldsplace to marywaldsvintageplace.blogspot.com.  It is nice to finally have a fresh piece of vintage Pyrex to share on it.  

Moon Deco

Hello again,

Above, you will find my new Moon Deco casserole dish. I just think it's the coolest Pyrex design ever. It was also my most expensive single purchase, but there is a story...

We were at the Southwarks antique mall in Cambridge, ON last week. My husband came walking towards me with the dish in his hands and asked if $28 was a fair price. I almost grabbed it out of his hands. "Yes!" The truth is that I don't know what's a fair price, but I do know that at another booth at the same place, the exact same dish has been sitting on the shelf for at least a year. The seller is asking over $80.00 for it. To me, that's grocery shopping money. I was going to treat myself to it down the road if I came into windfall money, but who knows if that day would have come, or even if I could have ever justified spending that much on one piece of Pyrex. 

The moral of the story once again is that you have to keep on looking because you just don't know what you'll ever find.

Gooseberry JAJ

I just wanted to post this ad from eBay. 

So that Gooseberry on the top with the burner & lid - it was actually sold that way? That colour in JAJ is also a nesting set? Anybody know? 

It's that coral red colour. I love when people discard JAJ bowls at the thrifts after pulling back the sticker & not seeing that PYREX mark.

I once saw that four set cup set thing in the bottom, but it was like $42.

Drool, drool, drool

any have a spare $170 they would like to share with me?  its for good cause, i promise!!

My first pyrex fridge!!

Last month I went to the Treasure Island Flea Market and I saw a unicorn figurine at a stall. As I was making my way over, someone beat me to it. I decided to look around anyways and I am so glad I did!

The seller had a lonely Spring Blossom fridge! I have not been able to find one in such pretty condition and with the lid at a price I was willing to pay! I grabbed it and held it tight! Spring Blossom is my favorite print and I'm always on the look out for anything Spring Blossom.

If you want to see what else I got at the flea market, check out my post at my blog!

Display

It's been a while since I updated my display. Before it looked like this:

Then I was prompted (forced) to rearrange the display by my cats breaking a pitcher from my other collection (Taste Setter):

I moved my cookbooks elsewhere and took down the green fabric background. I think it looks a bit tidier.

The Taste Setter collection is my personal white whale. It is impossible to find so if you ever see any I'm happy to reimburse you! (Email me)
