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. 

Happy Hunting!

Clean Pyrex!

Is anyone else's favorite part of baking/cooking cleaning their Pyrex?

(I hope I'm not alone in my craziness!)

2013 Finds!

Hello, fellow Pyrex lovers!

I've been busy attempting to plan my wedding and haven't been thrifting for Pyrex much. (So sad, right?!)

I still have managed to acquire some new goods, though! 

Each of the fridgies & the small bowl were fifty cents each - I can't say no to a fridgie for fifty cents! Although now I do have 7 of them. (I HAVE A PROBLEM.) Does anyone by chance know what this small white bowl with the black/gold rim is? It's definitely marked Pyrex on the bottom, and it's the same size as the Terra bowls.

This little gal was a trade from the lovely Brittany! I am in love with this blue!

These were a Christmas gift from my momma - first Sandalwood pieces!

Good last few days thrifting for me. I asked the hubby if we could stop at a GW on the way home from a Fro-Yo outing and he dropped me off at the door so I didn't have to race to the housewares section dragging my 4 & 5 yr olds with me. :) (anyone know what i mean?)

Found this Town & Country 1 1/2 QT casserole for $2.99

I don't have any of this pattern, but I have never really loved it...and I have too many 1 1/2 casseroles, so this one is not staying with me.

I actually have a TON of this pattern, but all my pieces are casseroles, and they're brown w/gold and this one is the little bitty mixing bowl. It had no price, so when I took it to the register the lady entered....INHALE

$.99

Phewwww...EXHALE

This is my first Sandalwood piece. I bought it yesterday. Because in my neck of the woods, GW's don't do color coded discount sales, they do every Monday 25% off. 

It was all alone with no lid. and...very very faded. (but not the leaves, they are thick and shiny) abused by the dishwasher. I picked it up...I set it down. I picked it up...walked away...looked at stinky shoes, stinky shirts, and old pillow cases. I peeked over to where I set it down. And my 4 yr old said, "Momma, why is your Pyrex over there? You need it for your Colllllleckshion"(love the way 4 year olds know just what to say) My 5 yr old said, "Mom, it's beautiful."

So really.

How could I  leave it at Goodwill? It will make a good cereal bowl or something.

Oh, and the total for this beauty? $1.49

So the GRAND total of my thrifted Pyrex Extravaganza... $5.47

What would you have done? Would you have left the Sandalwood...or brought it home?
