What could have done that to me?
Good thing I was already down on my knees digging through the lowest shelf, because I got so shaky I might have fallen over. It seemed like slow motion as I reached over and grabbed it. And of course from that moment on I never let it go. I think I had a hand cramp from holding on to it.
As I carried it up to the register and I passed a lady carrying the Old Towne butter dish I had debated buying and put down (too expensive at $9.50). I imagined her jealous looks as I paid my $4 for my new prize. (Don't ask me about the crazy thrift store pricing; I'm not arguing one bit!)
So it made it home safe and sound, just needed a little BKF and magic eraser to clean up the scratches. It came out beautifully and now I just have to find a place of honor for it!
Great find, great story and great price for that one! Well done!

Awesome find, I hope I find some new dots soon! Your very lucky, and what a funny story! I hope you enjoy it for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love love love the new dots, I only have one, a yellow (which is in terrible shape but I just couldn't leave it behind) I dream of the full set :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Love that you imagined her jealous that you were carrying your New Dots bowl. Maybe she'll wind up reading this.
ReplyDeleteHaha- that would be funny. Actually I'd love to meet a fellow Pyrex collector in person- just not face to face over a new dot in the thrift store, LOL.
DeleteAmazing score! The New Dots is so rare that I think that anyone would have the same reaction that you did. I have the whole set and it is on top of my cabinets. It is for DISPLAY only! Way too hard to replace if something happened.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
