Well, today I found the rest of the family.
At a thrift store.
For $20.
!!!!!
My mom was with me again -- honestly, I think she may be my lucky charm, because last time, I found that green wheat space saver with her. She told me how hilarious it is to see me get excited about vintage Pyrex -- she actually said it's like rainbows burst out of me when I see something!
Rainbows or not, I'm still bursting. While there is a tiny chip on two of the smaller lids, I still think I got a great deal.
And, I couldn't leave this lonely little Cinderella bowl behind, could I?
I know $8 was kind of steep for the bowl, but I knew I'd regret not snatching it up. Plus, I like this thrift store and I know they do a lot of good things for people, so I like to think of it as a little extra donation for their work.
Gooseberry galore, for sure. I can hardly wait to see what the rest of spring will bring!

Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteWoohoo - such nice finds for you. And when you even out your cost for everything, you did great price wise!
ReplyDeleteTrue - that's how I justified it at check-out ;) I probably would have paid $20 for just the big fridgie and I ended up with a full set!
DeleteI have no issues with the lids having tiny chips in them. It's the dish that matters! Plus, the lids are pretty cheap to replace.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Gooseberry is one of my favorite patterns!

Absolutely! In fact a few weeks ago I found a very, very sad large butterprint dish (almost completely faded) with the lid. I bought it and told the lady at check out she could have the dish back for the shelf - I only wanted the lid. She looked at me like I was crazy... but I got my lid!
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteI have a lucky person too. They are the best.
Imagine if we all ended up in the same thrift store with our lucky people?! (It's making me giggle a little...)
DeleteSuch a beautiful set to find in a thrift shop!
ReplyDeleteI know... I couldn't believe it. I've never seen ANY pink and white gooseberry, even in an antique store. Thanks!
DeleteHoly crap! Nice find! I'm all giddy for you. : )
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! I've left the fridge set on the kitchen table so that I can keep staring at it ;)
