Butterfly Gold

A few weeks ago I picked up this 045 for just $2 at nearby thrift store. I just love this size casserole because it's perfect for our family.

Then my friend, Heather, showed up with this 664 that I never knew existed. It holds 4 quarts of awesome goodness!

She also helped me complete  my first fridgie set. Yay!

I've been collecting dishes too. I switched out our everyday dishes to these, and now I never worry if something gets broken because I know I can just replace them for pennies.

My Butterfly Gold collection has just taken off. I think I'm just missing some mixing bowls now.

  1. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It all looks so pretty together. I'm collecting this pattern too, and I love having the Corelle matching dishes. Happy hunting for the mixing bowls! I see them in this pattern often, I'm sure it won't take you long! Stacey @ http://gfpastorswife.blogspot.com

  3. They look beautiful all grouped together! I just collect random pieces--whatever strikes my fancy--but your pictures give me a definite yen to collect just one pattern.

  5. So pretty! I just found a 2 1/2 qt but for 6.99. They were selling a whole set of butterfly gold, plates saucers and mugs for $18.99 but I was not ready to spend so much. You make me wish I did. ;)
    Great collection.

  7. Ah, I love Butterfly Gold! Nice finds. I love how the 045 looks like it's as big as your child:)And I must say I'm incredibly jealous of the fridgies!

  8. Thanks for the sweet comments! I do love how they all go together so well. I haven't decided if I want the mixing bowls or not. I have passed them up the few times that I have seen them.

  9. i love ALL yellow pyrex. love love love.

    question: are the dishes pyrex too? i've seen similar in thrift stores but i thought they say a different brand on the bottom even though they look pyrex-y. i'm always tempted to purchase but never have.
