Oh, My!

My "Pyrexing" has slowed down a bit as the items on my list have been found.  I only have a few things I'm specifically looking for...but every once in awhile you come across something special.  Something you thought you'd never find or fell in love with once you saw it.  I had both those instances happen yesterday. 

I have "a piece of Friendship" on my wish list.  I didn't really care what, just a piece of it.  I've only seen a couple things ever...and they were in antique shops for outrageous prices.....until now.  I walked into the antique dealer that buys from me to sell a few things.  I had every intention of taking my cash and putting it towards the family budget  until I came face to face with this....



I couldn't believe it was only $15, with the lid!  I took the cash I made and purchased this amazing fridgie!

Then I stopped at Goodwill and found something I've seen but didn't know I'd love until I saw it there all perfect and shiny....

 
It was a good day in the land of Pyrex.
 
 
Here's where my new pieces made their homes:
 
In my kitchen shelves
 

In my laundry room

  5. These are pretty exciting finds! I felt the same way about friendship - any piece would make me swoon. I stumbled onto 4 pieces at a thrift store for $10 a piece, and even though they weren't a total thrift store steal - I grabbed those beauties and ran :) I haven't seen the blue scroll for a good price either, very good score!

  8. Score for you! I'm a little envious of the Friendship fridgie! Any piece of Friendship is also on my wishlist. I love my turquoise scroll - that was my first Pyrex piece and it's the one that got me hooked. Yours looks like it's in really good shape.
