Woodland-Themed Baby Shower!

Clear Fridgies are awesome!

This last weekend we had a special time of celebrating a new little baby at  Under The Bee Tree.  There are many Pyrex cameos, so I thought I'd share!  Hope you all are enjoying fall baking in lovely dishes!

Just the right bowl


I wanted to give a set of Butterfly Gold bowls to my niece as a wedding shower gift, but I lacked the 401 bowl. I set out to make the rounds of the area antique stores, hoping to find it, but not really believing that I would. At the second store, I found the exact bowl I needed, in perfect condition. It was sitting on a table with a variety of other odd bowls. Hurray! How often does that happen?

I also found a Bluebelle 402 to complete another set. I just love that soft blue color.


One of my favorite holiday uses for my Pyrex: Containers for floral arrangements. Today I'm taking two Cinderella bowls to my friend who has a floral shop so she can make centerpieces for my Thanksgiving tables. I probably ought to get my turkey, too....

A Few Pyrex Additions


I found the lid to the Sol Flower ages ago, and figured that for $1.99, I'd do my research and see if I could find the matching bottom.  I'd totally forgotten about it until I happened to come across the bottom in a thrift store last week for $2.99.  They are now reunited!

The Mod Kitchen, on the other hand, has been on my wish list for ages and I never see it anywhere - even for a ridiculous dealer price.  So I finally broke down when I saw it on Etsy for $10.  Woo hoo!  I try to thrift as much as I can, but every now and then you have to take extreme measures!

New Pyrex

Hey y'all I need some insight! This weekend I went to antiquing and found this little gem for $20. I have seen it only one other time in Alabama for $40 and that only included the one large bowl and lid, but this one included large bowl, lid, and 7 smaller bowls. I haven't seen this in any of my Pyrex books so I was wondering if anyone knew what it's called? I know its a member of the primary colors collection but I'm not sure what it is. Thanks for looking and I appreciate any feed back!

A Few Trickles of Rain in the Pyrex Drought

I don't know what's been going on at the thrifts lately, but the Pyrex finds are few and far between (actually, I suspect that all the good pieces are being sent to the online goodwill auctions, where the prices go sky high).  Fortunately, the few pieces that I have found over the past month are ones that I not only don't have, but are fairly uncommon as well.  I guess, in the long-run, the drought will be a blessing to my bank account (and my full cupboards).
