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!

Lovin' the Promos!

Promotionals are STILL following me!  On the top of my list of promo's was the Mod pattern.  I saw it in an antique store, and it's an antique store that I've just started selling too!  They pay outright, and I've been finding things at Yard Sales and some cheap thrift and making a little extra money.  Well, they wanted $14.50 for the casserole, which is more than I'd usually pay.  So....I brought in some of my finds, got paid, and bought the casserole!  Then, at GW the same day, my son spotted the Hex Signs bowl in mint condition for $7.99.  After purchasing that, I still have $5 left from the antique store payment.  So fun!  Here are the finds

Here's hoping Promo's start following you too!  Stacey at www.gfpastorswife.blogspot.com

Pyrex drought in Nashville

Last week I spent my time traveling and picking through Nashville, TN.  I was excited to see what new treasures I could dig up and had great hopes of finding some amazing Pyrex.  I went to some amazing place like the American Pickers store, an auction, and at least 30 different antique malls/thrift stores.  It was fun however I came up empty handed when it came to Pyrex.  

So, I thought, I would share one of my finds I havehave not shared yet. This is a Pyrex baby bottle/nursing bottle I found digging through a local dealers boxes.  It was a great find and I love that the Pyrex letters are so prominent.  It looks great displayed on my 1940s kitchen cabinet.

To see all the other treasures and "rusty gold" I found in Nashville click Here   I plan to have a 4 part series on everything vintage/antique and dish on the highs and lows of every adventure.

Vintage Pyrex Finds

Good morning all! I've had some pretty decent luck the last few days with Pyrex finds!

I literally squealed when I saw these 2 Butterprint fridgies and with lids!  501 & 502. 6.99 for both.

 503 1 1/2 Quart Primary yellow fridgie with lid. There are a couple wear spots on the corners, but overall in great vintage condition! 3.99.

501 Butterfly Gold fridgie with lid. In near perfect condition! 1.99.

443 - 2 1/2 Quart Gooseberry Cinderella mixing bowl. I splurged a little on this one...I couldn't help it! Isn't it gorgeous?! 10.99.

Hello from a new collector!

Hello, my fellow Pyrex lovers! I am dropping in to introduce myself and show you my growing little collection. I just started my Pyrex hunt a few months ago, and although I have learned some lessons along the way, I am having so much fun. You can see all my pieces (as well as a few best practices I've picked up along the way) on my blog: http://ruthiepearl.com/adventures-in-collecting-vintage-pyrex

Here are a few snaps!
