Vintage Luck and Pyrex!



Last week I was able to find the much sought after Pyrex cookbook on Amazon for $4.00!  I think it was an amazing deal especially with free shipping.  If you are a collector of Pyrex or vintage cookbooks this is a must have.  I knew Pyrex was useful but never imagined using a bowl to bake a cake in.  Who knew?  Fun times were had as I looked through the colorful cookbook.


This is the picture on the front of the box!
I also went to one of my favorite vintage treasure hunting location and found 2 amazing items.  Ok, so remember the cookbook rack I thought I would never see again in the wild or anywhere? (If you don't click here and you can catch up and see pictures at http://cherrypickedfinds.blogspot.com/ ) I found one in the box, still wrapped in plastic and looks like it was never used. 

 As if that was not enough there was another box with the matching spice rack in mint condition as well!!  So I am keeping the spice rack and selling the cookbook rack here http://www.etsy.com/shop/CherryPickedFinds  I love the one I have and use it all the time.  Stores right under the cabinet.  I have seen modern versions of these that are super expensive and with out the character or vintage feel. Amazing week Pyrex Peeps!  Love the thrill of the hunt!

  1. I never even knew those cookbook racks existed. So cool! I have the Pyrex cookbook too and I love how it tells you which dish to use for each recipe.

    Happy Holidays!
