I Spy some Eyes! (and CUTE Pyrex tea towels!)

Yes, that's right! I found one of the famed "Eyes" chip and dip bowls at a local antique mall!


At only $9, you know I had to make her mine. $9 is a little pricey for a smaller bowl, but it was THE EYE so I justified it. I noticed that the color on mine is a little more greenish than pictures of others I've seen floating around the internet--it's not fading and still has its shine, though, and I kind of like the seafoam green tint. 

I've also thrifted a few more common patterns lately. I laid down $4.99 for this mint condition divided Town & Country dish with lid. I know some people don't really dig T&C, but I love the tangerine orange color and the sort of "sweater" pattern on the dishes. So even though I already have this dish (thanks to fellow PC3-er Madee) I just had to get it again.

 
I also found this small Butterfly Gold casserole for $1.99. I like the smaller sizes for cooking sides for the hubs and I--they are perfect for roasted brussels sprouts, for example! (PS--another PC3 contributer, Sarah, has a great recipe for garlic roasted sprouts. Mmmm.)

 

In other Pyrex-related news, has anyone else seen these super cute Pyrex tea towels from Fresh Pastry Stand on Etsy?

I bought myself the Butterprint set for Christmas and was impressed with their quality. They recently came out with Gooseberry, so of course I had to buy those too!

And another shop, Love Janet, also has some Snowflake Blue...too cute!

 That's all for now...I'm heading to Goodwill tomorrow and hope to find more Pyrex to share! Until then, check out my older posts here and here!

  8. I think I may need to add to tea towels to a gift wish list - I can only imagine their cuteness hanging on the towel rack under my shelves of Pyrex! And the eyes score is amazing - it would have been mine for that price too - no second thoughts!
