Hello There! An Intro by Thetoddlerwhisperer


Well Hellllllloooooooo there Pyrex Collective III. I'm your newest member! Been following for a while, then every time I would pick up a piece of gorgeous Pyrex, thought, "Hey, I'd love to share this with this fabulous collective."  This post is pic heavy, but don't we all love drooling over Pyrex?


This is me. I'm a momma of two littles...they aren't toddlers anymore, they are 4 &5. My blog is called thetoddlerwhisperer and if you visit, you can choose the label PYREX over on the right for all my posts with pretty pyrex pics.

This is the first piece I picked up when I decided to start collecting. I grew up using Crazy Daisy in my mom's kitchen. So Pyrex has always held a special place in my heart and memories. We walked into GW, and I saw this beauty on the shelf (complete with the grimy holder) for maybe $4.99.

The next week I went to a different GW and just as I told Mr Toddlerwhisperer that, "no, there's nothing here." I saw these beauties!! I spent $14.99 for the set, which to my thrifty mindset was a little much, but hey, they're so pretty!

I'm also guilty of bidding on shopgoodwill.com when I have no self restraint. (actually I didn't have a working vehicle for 4 months and had to vicariously thrift.) ya, we'll stick with that excuse.

I love to use my pieces too...(this was our super bowl snack)

Mr Toddlerwhisperer is an awesome cook...and he loves my new obsession  collection as well

I have blue tips on my hair. I am slightly regretting because I have an interview next week for a teaching position. (returning to teaching after 5 years of being a SAHM)

And now a question....anyone know what this piece goes to? Is it even Pyrex? From handle to handle it is 19". The oval is 13" x 9" My mom picked it up for me at an estate sale last week.

I'd like to hear what you all think. :)

Happy Hunting Pyrex Collectors!!

  2. I don't know what it is, but if it IS Pyrex, maybe it holds a platter?

  3. The cradle is definitely Pyrex, it has the early 70s style handles, but I'm not sure what it goes to exactly. Your $14.99 finds, though not as cheap as you wanted them to be, are a great price :) Welcome to PCIII :)

    1. Thanks, wish I could have...but alas, the school I applied for is very conservative, I didn't want to go to the interview with a disadvantage.
