Yellow Large Bowl find at Goodwill

Hey everyone!  I joined a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had time to write yet.  I haven't been finding much lately, and this weekend I finally found a copule of pieces at our local Goodwill, including this large yellow bowl in almost perfect condition. I already have the same bowl (which i use as my  popcorn bowl), but the paint is a little bit scratched and is matte instead of glossy like this, so I was excited to find this.  That was until I flipped it over and looked at the price- $15!  It was in such good condition I was actually tempted to buy it, but it was just a little too much.  I brought it up to the register with a smaller blue blow (that was marked $10) and asked to talk to the manager.  I told her I'd bought similar pieces there for much less and she ended up reducing the yellow one to $6 and the blue one to $4- she said they had a new pricer who was pricing everything way to high.  I felt a little wierd to ask but she agreed right away and had no problem giving me a new price, so I guess its always worth it to ask. :)

New to the Group and Pyrex Collecting

Hi everyone.  I am new to the group and to Pyrex collecting.  I must say I am now addicted and have even had dreams about finding Pyrex. lol.  It all started a little more than a week ago (the 17th) with these two great bowls.

Butterfly Gold 4 quart and 2-1/2 quart bowls.

 

I had gone to the Goodwill store looking for crafty things and old quilts with no luck.  I was about ready to leave empty handed when I spied these sitting on a bottom shelf.  I'm pretty sure I let out a little squeal.  I was so happy to see these two bowls, and without a scractch or chip on either of them. Isn't it funny how seeing something like this can give you warm fuzzies? My great-grandmother and grandmothers had beautifully colored Pyrex mixing bowls and casserole dishes when I was growing up. I remember paying more attention to what the food was in than what the food was. lol. 

 

I thought they were a steal at $3.00 each.

 

Now when I go to the Goodwill store I'll be looking for old quilts, craft items, books, and Pyrex.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
