Complete Pink Gooseberry Cinderella Set (for a steal!)


I've been stalking Craigslist in my area for the last six months, looking for any sign of Pyrex in need of a good new home ... cause we all know, that's me! Then, in a state of insomnia last night, I had to rub my eyes at 1 a.m. to make sure I was seeing this listing right - Set of Nested Mixing Bowls, Pyrex, Pink and White, $15. WHAT? Surely that wasn't $15 for the whole set ... was it?


I'm happy to report that indeed it was, and these beauties are now living with me as of 4 p.m. this afternoon. They are shiny and perfect and look like they were never used (as evidenced by a dead daddy long legs spider in the bottom of the nested bowls)! Six months of waiting indeed paid off! $15 and I have the most perfect, shiny new Gooseberry Cinderella set!

    I am in love with pyrex and just found your blog. Awesome to know I'm not the only addict out there. Although I did kinda figure that out but the prices. :-)

    I got the same set many years ago at a thrift store for $5. They look like they were never used. A man cleaned out his grandmother's house and donated them to the thrift store. Great find.
