successful pyrex {trade}

thanks to the awesome pyrex collective, i made my first trade with another local collector. after i had written a post several weeks ago indicating that i had shopped in winnipeg, she contacted me and we found out that we live in the same province and even knew some of the same people--small world! yesterday, we made our first in-person trade and i think it was a success!

i don't have pictures of all the pieces i passed on but they were a colonial mist 474-B (with lid), homestead 401, a solid pink and a solid blue 401 (from what collections, we are unsure), and a pink flamingo pie plate.

i was quite ecstatic about the pieces she brought along for me to pick from and these were the ones i chose:

a friendship bird 403

butterfly gold 403 and butterfly gold 043 oval casserole

a spring blossom 043 oval casserole with matching lid(!) and a spring blossom 441 cinderella bowl

(another view of the spring blossom 043...my first dish with a matching patterned lid)

an updated view of my current collection (minus a few mixing bowls and casseroles that i actually use on a day-to-day basis). i am SERIOUSLY running out of room. i need to find a cheap bookcase or display stand very very soon so i can expand my pyrex collection some more!

have any of you made local connections because of the pyrex collective and had successful trades too?
