Butterprint, Old Orchard, and 1950's Turquoise Dinnerware

Hello all!  I've been lurking on this blog for quite a while and this is my first time posting.  The pickings have been slim at the thrift stores lately, but I've managed to find a couple pieces:
I got a minty Butterprint at Goodwill for $4.25.

My local thrift had this Old Orchard piece for $3.00

Over the summer I bought a console at an estate sale.  I had planned on using it to house some of my Pyrex, but my husband (who has more collections than I do) was faster than me and loaded it up with action figures, comic books, and his Carnage and Venom masks.  I had a chance to reclaim it this week and it is now dedicated to the 1950's Pyrex turquoise dinnerware I found in May.




Sorry the color in that first pic is so off. Here's a better picture of the dinnerware as I first found it.


 I've enjoyed writing my first post and I hope to be back soon with more Pyrex finds.  xxxxxxLisa

  1. Welcome to PC3! Any Pyrex find is a great find and you got them at great prices. I especially love the dinnerware, something my daughter hopes to find for her first set!

  2. Great finds! I'm totally swooning over your dinnerware collection. I have a few of those turquoise dinner and salad plates and am still hunting for more. I love using them. Welcome to the collective!

  4. Wonderful finds, and I LOVE the console. Glad you were able to take possession of it again :) I sometimes wish my husband collected something, maybe he would be more understanding when I bring home yet another vintage find!
