Summer Thrift Finds

It has been a busy summer with some wonderful finds! After a slow start this spring at the thrifts, things have picked up nicely around here.

First we have several additions to our pie plate collection.

Left to right we have turquoise, desert dawn pink, white deep dish with tab handles, lime green and flamingo pink. The white, desert dawn and lime green are all new finds this summer.

A few more pieces in desert dawn pink:

A 221 round cake pan, a 213 loaf pan and a 232 2 qt oblong pan.

And more turquoise:

Cake and loaf pans, and a 231 1 ½ qt oblong pan. We found both loaf pans last winter but the others are new this summer. The butterprint refrigerator dish is our third; It was only $1 so we couldn't leave it behind!

Finally we came across a few carafes as well:

I love these. I am trying to get away from using so much plastic so these will see a lot of use.

We have had a lot of company so far this summer and I used a lot of Pyrex but forgot to take pictures. It is nice to see all your pictures of Pyrex in action! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! More later...
