I Love Spring Time

I love spring time for many reasons; the weather, longer days, flowers blooming...pyrex collecting!

Look what I came across today:


A Yellow Desert Dawn, what pyrex love calls, utility dish ($2). Though you may not be able to see by the picture, it's not actually a solid yellow color. It's speckled with brown dots! They were made in pink with red speckles too. My pyrex collector's guide says they were first introduced in 1955. How FAB!

I also found this:


A 2 qt Holiday casserole, 1961 promotion ($4). SO pretty!

Of course I will be using Bar Keeper's Friend to polish these up!

Happy Wednesday!
