pyrex for grandma

So for many of us, Pyrex collecting reminds us of our 

mother's & grandmother's collections

My mom received Old Orchard for her wedding

and it is what I grew up with, but being brown, I never paid much attention

to it as a kid

and it wasn't until I became the full blown collector of pyrex

that I realized my grandma doesn't have a single piece of pyrex

So I asked her what mixing bowls she used to have,

just assuming she must have gotten rid of them along the way

She told me she NEVER had pyrex

when she got married they didn't receive too many wedding presents

and in her words they would have never been able to afford them at the time

Ok, so this made me really sad

Thinking of my adorable little grandma in her eighties

who never got a pretty set of pyrex to bake with

Well, I had to change that.

So for Christmas this year, my grandma is going to be 

getting her first set of pyrex.

Something she should have gotten at 24, not 84

but a wedding present sixty years late is better than never!

Knowing my grandma loves everything blue 

I knew her set also needed to be this hue

Cinderella Snowflake Blue Mixing bowls will be hers soon
