I have to start by saying I have too much Pyrex! I decided I'd part with some of it and give it to the charity that saves animals from being euthanized and cares for them until they find them a forever home. They don't receive the volume of donations of places like Goodwill and St. Vincent, so they are going to be the charity that gets Pyrex, Corelle and vintage collectibles we part with this year! I hauled a couple boxes over and they were very happy for the donation--one of the ladies said to one of the younger employees "it's Pyrex!". I had as much fun giving it away as I had finding it!
It seems like the Pyrex gods rewarded me for actions. Here's what I got.
All kinds of stuff! I got the Pink Gooseberry from my MIL for Christmas--I was so thrilled! That collection is painfully slow, I get maybe one piece a year. I am collecting some of Town & Country as it has been falling in my lap lately, a 043 and the second 501! The divided dish is for my Butterfly Gold collection which is getting nearer to completion. My second Blue Snowflake Garland fridgie, now I have two 501s. My first Horizon Blue casserole. I got the Autumn Harvest casserole, I could have picked up Cinderella mixing bowls, but I'm drawing the line on that. I had a Zodiac or I should say hubby did but this one is in better condition and it was $1.80, so I got it. Three days later we went back and I found the lid for 45 cents--I was sooooo happy to get the lid! The pie pan is Desert Dawn, I grabbed the Daisy lid as I have a collection in progress--my friend gave me the 2.5 quart casserole and divided dish bottom for my existing lid for Christmas. Lastly, a Blue Doily lid, only because it came on top of the Butterfly Gold divided dish I need, I'll likely donate that back paired with the New Holland bottom--it works together at least. Phew! Good heavens! I can't believe how much I hauled this week! And prices for all were great except the fridgies, but they are so hard for me to find and I wasn't going leave without them!
I posted my last and current Pyrex display on my blog if you wanna peek here. I'm a girl that likes to play with her Pyrex!

I would give to a charity for animals (if their was a thrift store esp for pit bulls - that would be the first! Hell, I'd pick stuff put of the trash to donate there) before Goodwill, St. Vincent. We don't have one that I know of around here, so for now my donations (which are few) go to Talize, it's a for profit, but the bit of donations go to The Childrens Wish Foundation. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteNice finds! MIL knows how to shop!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I made sure to let MIL know HOW MUCH I LOVE PINK PYREX!!! She is retired and thrifts everyday--keeping my fingers crossed!
DeleteAmazing prices on the Zodiac. Only in my wildest dreams could I make that happen.
ReplyDeleteI give all our charitable donations to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona (our local branch). I am a big pet lover and was raised to only get shelter animals.
Funny, I'm not that crazy about Zodiac and this is the second one I've found. Hubby loves it. I did think it was a steal though.
DeleteWow, Evie-what amazing pieces! Good karma was swinging your way!
ReplyDeleteI'll say Maureen! I found something today and I'm all excited--I'll post it next Monday!
DeleteZODIAC!!! Swooon! Really nice finds and I'm so happy for you:)) My only local thrifts are charities for the animals and hospitals and I love them. I've found all my best pieces there and frequent them as much as I can. And good for you for sharing all the Pyrex love! You will make so many people happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so silly that way, I'm all giddy knowing there will be people that come across my old Pyrex and (they will) be thrilled! I'm much prefer donating it than selling it for money.
DeleteYour donation to the animal charity brought EXCELLENT Karma your way! Lucky you!
