The Unidentified Birthday Pyrex

Here is a mystery for everyone.  

 I recently celebrated my birthday and (of course) received some awesome Pyrex.  WooHoo!  The thing is, my father found me a casserole dish that I have never seen before, nor was I able to find any information on it.  In fact, after scouring the internet for hours, I was only able to find one other picture of it in an EBay listing. 

It is actually quite awesome because he even found it with the original cradle and with lid.  

I originally thought it was from the 70's because of the color, but after looking at the stamp I'm actually thinking it's closer to the 50's or 60's.  So do you know this casserole?  Have you ever seen it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wondering what else I got for my birthday?  Feel free to stop by my blog to check it out as well as my recent thrifting finds at www.yesterway.blogspot.com

Cherry Cheery Pyrex

The estate sale of the season happened last weekend.  I hope another sale comes along that blows my socks off but this sale was the perfect pairing of perfect price, perfect items.  What could be more perfect than.....Pyrex?   Nothing:)!

Butter Print Pyrex Refrigerator set in amazing condition.

I arrived at this sale over a hour early.  First in line of course.  It was awesome!  I knew from the ad that there would be Pyrex but never imagined the pieces they would have and at such great prices.  When the door opened I managed to get to the kitchen first and started immediately loading my bag.  This is what I picked up first.

Napkin Rings

I always forget I have these. 

I love them, and napkin rings just don't seem to be found easily. Luckily I got 2 sets about 6 years ago. One is Spring Blossom and one is Snowflake Blue.

My husband broke our pepper shaker about 3 years ago. I was and am still not a happy camper about that.

Thrifting has been slow in my neck of the woods lately. I have to resort to looking at all the stuff I already have. But it does give me the time to appreciate what I already have.

Is it just me or is everyone having a slow thrifting time lately?

pyrex in use

i used my wonderful pyrex mixing bowls to make these heavenly healthy muffins (check out the recipe here on my blog).

i bought this mega-size pyrex measuring cup at the local thrift store for 50 cents several months ago. it holds up to 4 cups so i actually haven't been able to use it yet because i usually don't need a measuring cup that big! but, this time i went for it. :) i do believe it's one of the older versions because the handle is a true "d"-type handle.

the best part was eating them in the very end! i served myself one beautiful muffin on a butterfly gold corelle pyrex compatible plate (see blog for pic) and had some delicious ginger tea to go with it! a super healthy, delicious and fun snack. :)

A Pretty Good Pyrex Weekend

I went to an Estate Sale on Saturday and picked up the Citrus yellow bowl for 50 cents.  I was excited...there wasn't anything else worth looking at, so my husband was not.  Then, we ended up at a Goodwill where I found the matching square dish (I'm thrilled, I wanted a "brownie" pan) and the large Town and Country Bowl.  I NEVER find the largest bowl of either the mixing or Cinderella bowls, so that was fun.  Then, on Monday...hubby and I did the major thrifting rounds.  There was NOTHING.  My husband spotted one Cinderella bowl that was the largest size, but not one I wanted.  In the car on the way to the last thrift store I said, "I wish the bowl you would have found was the Spring Blossom largest bowl since I need that to complete my set".  They are my "Go to"  bowls that I use everyday in GF baking, etc.  I have all but the last bowl, matching.  What do you know, at the last Goodwill hubby pulls out the exact bowl!  What are the odds?  And to find 3 of the largest size in one weekend after never spotting them!  See more of my finds and Vintage goodies at www.gfpastorswife.blogspot.com and on FB page (Vintage Values, Modern Times)   Stacey Johnson Here's the goods:

Frists.

I didn't do much thrifting these past few weeks due to lack of funds ( one million medical tests later ) and lack of energy. But I did find a few things and I was lucky enough to receive some gifts!

My first forest fancies ( I love mushrooms, so this is just amazing ), my first Town and Country ( this and the woodland is what I grew up with ) and my first opal.

The nice woman getting these for me has great luck. Everything so far has been in perfect condition. These are actually my first divided dishes as well! I've never seen the opal one before. It's bigger and a different shape then the others I've seen ( and now the one I have ). If anyone is interested in it ( the opal ) let me know. :)

More cups! And some in patterns I've never had before.

My first Woodland cup and my first Snowflake Blue!

I have one million tea cups/mugs. Oh well! At least these stack up nicely.

I mentioned before that I was going to open an Etsy store for original custom Pyrex paintings, I still fully intend to. I just want to get all of this medical bru-ha-ha out of the way first so I know I have the time to dedicate to finish projects in a timely manner.

I hope you guys are enjoying your Monday. :)

Flameware, Anyone?

This morning I woke up at 7am to meet my daddy-o for coffee, and then go to garage sales, an estate sale, and an auction. I haven't been to an auction since I was a kid - but this one promised Pyrex in the listing.

The garage sales and estate sales were kind of duds, so on to the auction we went! I didn't spot any vintage Pyrex and my heart started to sink, but then I spotted THESE:

SO MUCH FLAMEWARE.

I had to have that teapot brand new in the box. HAD TO HAVE IT. And for $12, first choice, it was mine. All mine.

I also picked up the double boiler and saucepan for another $12.

Happy Saturday, everyone!
