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.

Autumn Harvest - Complete!

I love the brown colors of Pyrex. 

 I had a little christmas shopping to finish up and since I was told I could not come home until I was called due to the boys wrapping gifts, I took the time to hit up a few thrift stores.

I managed to finish my set of Autumn Harvest.  I found the little 441 a while ago at Goodwill. Then I last weekend I found the 444-442 at Salvation army paied with a woodland 441. 

Score for me! I like the set all together, it just screams "go jump in the leaves."

 You can see what else I came home with over at Treasures My Husband Hates

Happy Hunting!

teal pyrex {magic}

today is officially awesome and it is only 11:15 a.m. :)

this morning i visited my local thrift store and spotted this beautiful set of three teal pyrex bowls (they were selling for $18 but...it's teal!). i didn't even hesitate. i picked them up and went straight for the cashier. even though it wasn't a complete set, i was so stoked for their beautiful colour.

 

then, i bring the bowls home and unwrap them and think to myself "hmm, they look familiar." that's when i remembered that i had the largest bowl of the set already! i'd been using it in my christmas centrepiece and had completely forgotten about it!

 

 

it was magic. that's all i can think. i went from being so happy to have found the three teal bowls to suddenly having the complete set!! the entire set cost me $26 which is way more than i would've been willing to pay normally but it was worth it this time. and, since one picture is never enough, here are a few pictures to ogle at. :)

 





happy thrifting in the new year!

Sets, Sets, Sets!

New yellow gooseberry set - thanks to shopgoodwill! 

Recently completed my Autumn Harvest set - I searched for that #404! 

And just for kicks - my Friendship set. It was my first Pyrex purchase, and it's still my favorite!

Stay thrifty, everyone!

my first set?

is it possible that i've had my very own set of primary mixing bowls for months without even realizing it? several months back, i had bought a beautiful well-cared-for red 402 mixing bowl and when i brought it home, it perfectly matched the red from the friendship bird collection so, i stacked it with those similar dishes.

but, now, after reading several recent posts about the primary mixing bowl collections, i think that this red bowl just may belong in that set. if that is the case (please do correct me if i'm mistaken), then i think i have my first set!

they are all well-loved bowls and not all in mint-condition but they do certainly make me happy! and, since they stack well and fit together so nicely i really do believe that this could be it: my first set.

what do you think? can it be so? :)

My First post here... Welcome Primary Mixing Bowls

Hello, I'm Katie.  I've been a Pyrex collector for many many years. Thanks to my mother. She gave me my first piece. I debated on what to post for my first post here at PCIII. And came to the conclusion that a simple, timeless, and classic would  be perfect. And I got them yesterday at Salvation Army.

401, 402, 403 and 404.  I don't even know if I should tell you how much they cost me.

(Shhhh......$15.20 total)
