I am getting a little more aggressive about finding some pieces for my collection. I really want to stick to the thrift stores, but sometimes there is the opportunity at local antique/vintage shops to get something that isn't so easily found anywhere, but maybe on line (where you have to take on the shipping cost.) These have been sitting at the antique store and I've been staring at my partial set for awhile...I decided to pick them up.
My Daisy bowl set completed! I had the 442 and 444 that I picked up for a steal at the thrifts. I saw the two yellow 441 and 443 at an antique mall in November. It was $30 for 3 bowls. Well, there were only two. The second time I went, they were still sitting there. Yesterday, I decided to ask about them. I lucked out that the booth owner happened to be on shift yesterday! She offered them to me for $15 for both and I agreed. Yeah, not as cheap as the thrift, but 443 is minty and 441 isn't bad. Both are super shiny.
I have the 043 oval casserole in the original basket that my neighbor gave me, my friend gave me the 945 2.5 quart oval casserole and divided dish bottom (I had the lid) for Christmas. My MIL gave me a 471. I also have a 473 I need a patterned lid for. So all in all, I haven't spent that much on this set so far. I'm wishing for some fridgies, not holding my breath--those are hard to come by.
I am super excited to have this Daisy Cinderella bowl set, it is so bright and cheerful!

Your post show how excited and how much you love Pyrex. Congrats on having a complete set!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paulette! I feel like such a lucky girl!

Not thrift store prices, but a really good deal! I have only seen one Daisy bowl in purchasable condition & I own it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your set!
Yes, Daisy is also a hard one to come upon here, for me it's been about the same as Friendship! Knowing that, I figured I better snag it while I still could get it!

I think you got a great buy! I have the 444 and the 442, just like you did-but I have never seen the other ones anywhere. Not even at antique stores! I lucked into the ones I have, the 444 especially-my young neighbors were having a yard sale, and I walked over, not even thinking of Pyrex-they had this bowl for $1!! In perfect condition, too. Just goes to show, you never know what you might find. Like you said, this pattern is so cheerful and springy-perfect for the coming months.
ReplyDeleteHave I mentioned I can't wait till summer :)
Wow Maureen, that is fantastic! $1 for a perfect 444, now that is a mega score!
DeleteOh you and me both--can't wait for warmer weather. Ours is about to get colder, February is when we can count on our coldest weather :0(

I think that is a great price!
ReplyDeleteAbout seven years ago my parents held a yard sale. My mom had the Daisy 444 and asked if I wanted it, I was foolish and said no. We had just had our daughter and the thought of hauling anything else into our tiny house was overwhelming. Boy do I regret that! It was our spaghetti bowl when I was a kid. Wish I could go back in time.
Oh I feel your sorrow, sometimes I do that kinda thing where I do something practical but later which I had gone the other way on it.
