Flea Market finds!

Hi PC3, SusieQT here from Practice in Time!

Today I stopped by a couple of yard sales and struck out on Pyrex. (My son did finally get a pogo stick which he has been wanting forever, though!) So we decided to head over to our local flea market and check it out. I saw a couple pieces on dealer's tables, but nothing I had to have- mostly Verde, Early American and Square Flowers stuff. Then I finally got to the last table and struck gold!

An Autumn Harvest 404 in mint condition and an un-numbered primary blue, $5 for both. The AH is absolutely mint- not a scratch on it. (Which is funny because the guy selling it had it full of rope and hardware- can't believe it made it unscathed!) The blue has seen better days, but for what it is, it's decent. 

Somehow, without even really trying, I have an almost complete set of AH mixing bowls- just need the 401! I love this pattern and can't wait to get them all out in the fall. The blue is probably headed to my Etsy store or antique booth because I already have an unnumbered primary set. 

(Try not to notice my turquoise Pyrex photobombing the pic in the background, LOL...)

finally got around to these...

I picked up all of these, well, probably a few months ago at this point. They've been sitting in my cabinet waiting for a little love, which I finally got around to this weekend. They were all in good shape, just needed a little cleaning.

I grabbed the Terra plate and bowls at Savers. I almost missed them since they weren't in the usual Pyrex area.

I'm not usually a fan of the speckled backgrounds, but I broke my rules to pick up this Forest Fancies #474 Casserole. What can I say? The mushrooms are pretty adorable.

Another Butterfly Gold for the collection. It's not really my favorite pattern, but I come across a lot of it in very good condition and can't seem to pass it up.

And then there's my favorite find. An unmarked Eyes chip and dip set. In really good condition. The color is still really bright and there are only a few minor scratches in the pattern. I found this at a local antique store and was surprised the seller did not know it was Pyrex since they primarily sold glassware. I still ended up paying antique store prices, but it was still a fraction of what I would have paid on Ebay.
