'twas the Pyrex before Christmas

Hello fellow Pyrex Collectors!

I had a great score at a local thrift store---it is way out of my way in a suburb of Denver, but consistently delivers Pyrex so anytime I am in the vicinity I make a stop. Last night I'm so glad I did. Look what I found! :)
the haul, full set of woodland brown, new dots, harvest wheat, spring blossom,and golden acorn 





I couldn't leave a full set on the shelf, it is not my favorite pattern, but it's a *full* set!!!!!
beautiful, beautiful new dots 
8 pieces sitting on the shelf waiting for me!!! I was very excited, the new dots was the first one I spotted and I was so excited I grabbed it and didn't let go until I paid and it was mine. I kept fearing that if I put in down even for a minute it would disappear. New dots is one of my favorite and this is only my second piece. I also have the yellow (in awful shape) and this one is beautiful and perfect and all mine!
don't they look nice together?! 
 I also picked up the woodland brown set, full sets are rare and exciting for me and the price was very cheap for the full set.





I also found the golden acorn divided casserole, I sure do wish I could find some lids for these divided casseroles!!! They would be so much easier to store/display with lids, but for some reason I can't find lids!!!

You can also see the spring blossom and the harvest wheat. Still the new dots is the one that made my heart flutter. It was such an unexpected haul!!

  1. DOTS! So very jealous of all your finds! The dry spell in the midwest is making me so sad! Go you, though! :)

  3. You are so lucky to have a go-to thrift store that never lets you down with Pyrex! I have the full set of the New Dots but I would have grabbed that bowl in a second. It's always good to have a backup.

    Happy Holidays,

    Erica
