A New Pyrex Collection
I went thrifting with my cute friend Betsy on Saturday morning. It is so much more fun to go shopping with a friend. And then when you find something great, you get to share the squeeling. Which is also awesome. Here’s (some of) what I found.
First off, let me point out that I have never found pretty Pyrex at this thrift store. And never on a Saturday. The building is huge, the parking lot is always full of cars and the store is full of scavengers (people like me who go like 8 times a week looking for something specific and awesome.) Tucked on a shelf I saw this little cutie, with the lid for $1.50. Sold.
No sooner had I turned around and I saw her little sister for $1.00.
And then this little bowl peeking around a bigger uglier bowl caught my eye. He was $.75. And that makes all three Snowflake Blue Pyrex bowls for a grand total of $3.25. I was a little bit giddy. But that wasn’t all.
This large green one came home with me too. It’s not my favorite color, but it was $1.50. And I would have felt bad about not buying him forever. (That might be a slight exaggeration. Maybe.)
This is my little, but growing, collection of Pyrex. I only paid $5 for these six pieces. I have one more but it is in the fridge full of leftovers. I have posted about Pyrex a few times lately, and I really think it might be my new little crush. It’s pretty, colorful, useful and cheap (you know, compared to Diamonds and Furniture and Typewriters.) I am sure I’ll run out of space before I get tired of collecting it. But I’m just as sure that a lack of space won’t stop me. My little house ran out of space ages ago, but I still seem to find places to put all of the things I love.

OMG, I am squeeling here in Massachusetts – what an awesome find and the price is unbelieveable! Jealous….and happy that they found a home where they will be appreciated…..
I received 2 of those avocado green pyrex dishes for shower gifts. Both still have their lids and I use them a lot. Can you guess what year I was married in?
Oh my – how CUTE those are!!!!!
Pink,
You are so cute and really fun to read.

But I think your collection is a bit more useful.
Oh my goodness! I am green with envy! In CA I always found pyrex but here in TX I never see it in thrift stores…. I only find old sewing machines 🙂
Oh wow! You totally scored! I’ve never seen Pyrex in that color in real life. I love it! And a set of three? Wowsers!
