Seeing Pink!

Hi There!

It's been a REALLY long time since I've written.  I had to share with you what I found today and ask for help in identifying.  Today I stumbled on an Sr. Citizen neighborhood yard sale.  It was so fun to mill around and chat with the people.  It was like a social even for them.  One of my favorite parts of sales is talking to the people and getting the history of items.

Imagine my surprise when I spotted these on a long table in the carport of an adorable 80 something lady's yard.

The sweet lady told me that she won this set at bingo years ago.  I inquired about the lids...I have NEVER seen these metal lids that fit on the top like this.  She said it was great for making jello in and transporting it because of the lids.  Sure enough, the lids say Pyrex on them.  I know that these are Daisy Space Savers, I just wondered if anyone knows if this is always how they came with this lid, or is this some special promotional?

PS  I'll bet you are wondering how much she charged me for the set?  TEN WHOLE DOLLARS!!!!!!  It made my day.

 Come on over...there's a new post!

PSS  Answered my own question!  It was a promo set...it also had a black wire cradle with it! http://www.pyrexlove.com/pink-daisy-oblong-space-saver-casseroles-series-548-575/glassware/

Tablescape with Pyrex

I realized it has been quite a while since I have done a Pyrex post.

Maybe this is because I don't seem to be buying much Pyrex lately,

because I'm lucky to have enough casseroles, bowls and

refrigerator dishes for everything I need. 

But I digress...I came over today to share my latest post

tablescape, since it includes two Pyrex pieces:

Opal Pyrex bowl centerpiece

&

Blue casserole...I'm not remembering the pattern name.

 

The Pyrex shares the table with Hazel Atlas platonite

glass pieces.  I mix them often and I think they go together well.

 

 

Enjoy & have a great Pyrex day!

New Pyrex Collective & Pyrex's 100th Anniversary

Hello Pyrex people! I'm just writing to let you know that we have just opened up PCIV. I wish we could somehow amalgamate all of these blogs. If anyone can pay off someone at Blogger so that we can do that, or if there's just a simpler way of making this happen, please email me (Canadian Erin) at monkeyintherocket@yahoo.ca. Here is the link for PCIV Pyrex Collective IV . Thanks again to Jeni of In Color Order for her amazing photography and photo montage.

I am letting Pyrex lovers know about a film that has been made about manufacturing in American. Pyrex features in this film. Please check out the YouTube link and the people behind this project are inviting Pyrex people (us) to fire off any questions regarding Pyrex, including new Pyrex.
Here is the press release information: Pyrex joins a national movement in This Built America that is devoted to supporting American companies and American-made products. AOL is proud to support the effort along with sponsor Ford Trucks. Through the year, the editorial and video teams will explore 50 states in 50 weeks to bring 50 stories of the people who are bringing back manufacturing to America. The platform is produced in coordination with Man Made Content.

Here is the YouTube link:

Pennsylvania's Pyrex: Making Dependable Glass for 100 Years

Please email your questions regarding Pyrex or the film to: me and I will forward the to the powers that be: monkeyintherocket@yahoo.ca I will forward questions and repost on all Pyrex Collectives as soon as possible. Happy Pyrexing and keep blogging and reading! Canadian Erin.

Adding to a Growing Collection

It's been forever since I felt I had added anything to my Pyrex collection worth sharing. However, I have recently come across a few pieces I have added to my Pyrex horde and here is one photographed and ready to share. The horizon blue lasagna pan! I was excited to see it in a new dealers booth at my antique mall. I didn't get it for a steal but I did get it for a more than reasonable price. I am happy to add it to my growing collection of lasagna pans. Until last summer I didn't have even 1 of these pans in my collection. Now, I have 4! I have the orange and butterfly gold which were found in the wild (estate sale and garage sale) and friendship and horizon blue both found in captivity (antique mall and collections). It's just a matter of time before I buy one from online. But these pans are heavy so shipping is expensive. Here's to hoping all my collection can be had without buying them online and paying outrageous shipping lol Yeah right!

Have a wonderful Cherry Picked week ya'll! Come visit me over at cherrypickedfinds.blogspot.com and see the unusual Beetland vintage freezer/fridge I discovered.

Pink and Turquoise

Pink and turquoise only fit in one place in my house and that's in my little pink room.  It was time for a new look so today I put together this display of things I don't use (there is plenty in the kitchen) but love to look at!
