Birthday Pyrex!

Yesterday was my birthday. Of course I got Pyrex. 

My mom got me the Designs and I bought myself the Gold Leaf 404. 

Why not? My birthday so I can get myself something. 

I love myself that much. 

I had to show my mom how the designs looks like yoga butts. 

Then the fetus was brought up. 

What is it with the body and Pyrex? 

I also got myself a new toaster. Want to read why?

 Head over to Treasures My Husband Hates - year 29

Hopefully more to come. I need my Pyrex Fix more often. 

Happy Hunting

Doily

I am back.  Where have I been? I took some time off to focus on myself and my family.  I am down a total of 38.6 lbs. I have a sparkling clean house. I am working on the science fair project my kid wanted to do and I have been spending time with THH whenever I can.

Now this does't mean I haven't gone thrifting. I have. Not as much as I normally do, but I have gone out a few times. Slim pickens here.

One day I did manage to find this doily bottom.

Now I Knew I had seen the lid for sale somewhere. I couldn't remember if I saw it online or in person.  I messages my pyrex lady on Facebook thinking i saw it at her house in her sell pile. She did have it. And sold it to me. While I was there I found the Forest Fancies 472 that I needed to complete my set. So I killed 2 birds with one stone!

Not much else around lately. Oh well a little is better than none right? 

Check out what else I got and what I have been doing over at

Until Next time…….

Snowflake Garland - Snow in CA!

I scored big time on craigslist. Well big time for me. As it has been dry here at out thrift stores. Unless you call $24 for 1 - 444 and $39.99 for a 441, 443 and a random fire king scores. I sure do not. 

Salvation Army is on meth. 

 I did get this complete set of Snowflake Garland 480 series from craigslist. The lady said goodbye to them. Saying she always forgot to display them and wanted someone who would love them to have them. I was happy to come home and wash/dry them and proudly display them with my other Snowflakes. I gave them a happy home. 

I got some other stuff too from her. 

You can head over to Treasures My Husband Hates to check them out.

I think my goal is becoming a reality this year. 

I set out to finish sets. I don't need to seat any more new sets.

This is my latest set completed. 

I love it.

Rodney Kent "Starline"

I would like to apologize. I am up to it again. I am find amazing pieces in the wild. 

 I found me a Rodney Kent!

The newest guy in my collection

To be exact it is "Starline Series" by Rodney Kent.  It should have lid, but to find the stand and 503 is awesome anyways. Made in the 1950s sometime. Exact date is unknown. Nothing is own about these except the name and sorta the date. YAY! A little mystery.

Do you know anything about these (that isn't in the Pyrex Passion book)??

Going to get ready and go get a bath. 

I also got another 503 in a trade. 

You can see where and how I found this guy over at

Hope your 2014 is off to a great start.

Spring Blossom Fridgie set

I think not only our weather, but Pyrex is trying to make spring come way to freaking early.

Yesterday I stopped at a few antique malls. One had just about every booth on sale. I did not notice until I was half way done. The signs were all up so high and I am short so I missed them. I had to go back through the entire thing. What a shame (please notice the sarcastic tone in my writing, there needs to be a font for that) I was on the phone with my mom and  I found this 503….. at a really good price (dude and on sale). AND he had his lid!

And now my set is complete. 

Lets hope I can finish more of my Spring Blossom in 2014. 

I hope you have some luck.

Pyrex I did not buy!

Almost the end of the year. I saw so much I didn't buy. I have come to that stage. I don't want/need a bunch anymore. Do not get me wrong I LOVE Pyrex, but I do not want to have  rooms and rooms of Pyrex sitting around. I like to look at my stuff and use it. 

So here is the some last of it and where to find it. 

Snowflake divided dish
Salvation Army, Long Beach, CA
$15

Again I have this one. And again when I went back the next day it was gone. I don't understand why they price so high. I know they have percent off days, but some one. No one thinks they are getting a deal at $15.






Early American 444
Salvation Salvation Army, Long Beach, CA
$9.99


Even though this is priced not as a collectable they still priced it way to high.  The funny thing is they had two other 444s and they were priced at $15 each (do we see a pattern!). Wonder why this guy, to them, is worth less. Maybe because it has a design on it? Ugg

Spring in December!

Christmas has come early for me. 

Merry Christmas to myself. 

 I am managing to complete sets this year. YAY!

I picked this 404 up today. Completes my Spring Blossom 400 series. 

Not Pyrex but I know a bunch of you love these things. 

I do too. A ceramic Christmas tree. 

Stupid cheap at Salvation Army.

1960 holiday Promo ~ just in time!

Just in time for the holiday season I completed my 1960 Holiday promo.

I found the cradle last weekend at one of my faithful thrifts.

I also happen to stop by a new one and found the cradle to the Golden Leaf promo. Now if only I could find the freaking bowl to match.  I spent a good 45 minutes in the store finding filler itms to be able to use my debit card. I was not leaving without that darn cradle.

Pink, blue and a promo

Got a few little scores last week.  Nothing much has been surfacing here. I skipped out on the antique flea market today that would have been a guaranteed source of Pyrex. I took the morning instead to sleep in as it is the first time in 5 years I could, in my own bed (kid stayed with his grandpa!) I figured someone else could use a good score.

 I don't know why but the horizon blue looks so great with my friendships.

Flowers rock!

I have actually had some luck lately.

 Not all was bought, some of it I traded for. 

Found at Salvation Army. 

Did a local trade with a wonderful woman. 

  Nothing special. Except there was one thing I really wanted and my husband would not let me buy it. 

Men!

I hope your men never stop you from buying something super cool.

My Finds From Last Week

Nothing earth shattering for me in terms of finds last week, but still managed to bring home a load.  As much as I hoped I wouldn't run into any (new) BG pattern, I did and I couldn't resist.  It is different enough in color and pattern (the light gold really is more a yellow in person) that I couldn't resist and it was cheap so that cinched it.  I was delighted to get the divided dish for my Verdé lid, good thing it was 25% off because $6 was still more than I wanted to pay.  A lime 024 nearly flawless at $3.60, the lid at another store for 50 cents, gooseberry black and white was also $3.60 and 89 cents for a 503 lid which I sung and danced over.  Oh yes, Homestead 401 I need for the set I'm building for a friend.  One thing I had to leave behind was a black snowflake divided that had way too many scratches and a 444 that I believe goes to Verdé that was really shiny but had way too many scratches.  I was surprised at the color of the bowl, it was more grass green than olive like I imagined from online photos I've seen.

I've switched up my Pyrex autumn display in my kitchen--I was itching to see something different.  You can see it on my blog from this link Autumn Pyrex Display.

I left some for you

I've gotten to that point in my collection where I either have it or I don't like it. How sad.

 But happy because that means I am saving money and keeping my house just a little less cluttered. 

Some of the ones I left were:

Now I am headed out tomorrow and hope to find something to fill my needs. I hope you have been having more luck than I have.

A Single Snowflake

Man things are so sparse here. 

Where has all the Pyrex gone!!!!

Lucky for me I found one piece last week. ONE. 

And I saw a rat where I got it. It got a bath, maybe 3. 

(see when/where I saw a rat over at treasuresmyhh.blogspot.com)

I love snowflakes.  At least the one piece I did find was a good one.

I hope you are finding more than I am. 

Happy Hunting!

Pyrex I left for you, again.

It has been a sad few weeks with very little Pyrex findings in my life. I have seen some but nothing that has come home with me. Oh the life of a collector. 

These had to stay at the store. The Town and Country was way to much money for one bowl marked at 12.50 (maybe I am cheap?) and the poor Verde 043 was DWD. Not even a good price just to have it for the lid. It was $8. 

I found some others but left them all too.

A new Cabinet with some Friendship!

Nothing is better for decorating than a really ugly piece of furniture right? 

Sure when you can go home and redo it. 

I talked the guy down for this shelf and redid it. 

That same week I found a friendship 933 at a different thrift. 

Here are some tips on how I got this shelf for almost 70% off and pictures of before.

For 3 weeks this is all I have found that I did not already have. I am dying here!  

Send me some good vibes! I will return the favor and send everyone some too!

Percolater Parts! I found them all!

I found where all those percolator parts are hiding. In a dinky town in the middle of Michigan! That is where I found all these (I didn't buy all of them!) at a flea market. 

They have bodies of percolators too.

I had a blast thifting in a different state last month.

  I didn't like having to take this all on a plane with me. 

You can see all the details  over at treasuresmyhh.blogspot.com

So if you live in the middle of nowhere in Michigan I will gladly share with you where all those percolator parts have been hiding. Fair warning, there is odd stuff at this flea market..... you might want to carry hand sanitizer. (see the details at the link above regarding the gross thing I found, I won't burn your eyes here)

Sandalwood

I was lucky enough to get my Grandmother's pyrex when they had to put her in assisted living. 

She has to be one of the most awesome people ever.

 You can read her "paint the town red" story over at treasures my husband hates.  

Some of it I had to leave back at my mother's house. I did however get these home with me.

Sandalwood 471 & 473. Barbed Wire divided dish

I don't mind they are chipped and faded a little. Reminds me of the food that was cooked in them. Sometimes the Pyrex that is valued the most is the stuff closet to our hearts.

Black Rooster

While on vacation I spent a few days in Flint, Michigan. 

 I am sorry to all who live there. Your thrift stores are junk. I hope you all are finding more than I did.  At least you have fatty amazing food.

I did however come home with this guy:

My Mother-in-law gave him to me.  Along with metal lid and glass lid. I just need the cradle. 

 I think she may like me. I got very lucky to have such a wonderful Mother-in-law. 

All the other stuff I found was boring. You can check that out at treasuresmyhh.blogspot.com ~ flint mi dearest to my heart

Antiques in Michigan

It happened to me again!  

Someone refused to sell me some vintage Pyrex in a store.  About a year ago our local thrift shop wouldn't sell me some Pyrex and other goodie they had out because they were waiting for a certain date. Why put it out if you won't sell it? Needless to say I got there on that date first thing and grabbed up my pretties. 

Not how it happened again. I went to this little hardware store in Detroit, Michigan while on vacation. We (my cousin and I) wanted to purchase a butterprint 501 with lid she had.  It was not marked with a price so we asked.  The lady said it wasn't for sale. Um....... huh? She told us she only sold them as sets and so if it wasn't with a set she wouldn't sell it. Well she had a set of them but this was just another random 501 she had. So we put it back. Then she must have thought, "oh I'll throw out a price and they will for sure buy it since it will look like I'm doing them a favor." $6, no lid. 

Needless to say we bought very little, nothing that wasn't priced. And got out of there. 

This is all I got. 

Thankfully the antique store we went to was much better and everything was priced and priced fabulous!

I managed to finish my Bake, Serve & Store set of Spring Blossom and my Primary set. 

And no one refused to sell them to me.
