Today, I stopped at a thrift shop in my travels and was sorely disappointed that there was no Pyrex to be found. Just as I was about to leave, I spotted this bundled set below.
Now I looked at it, turned to walk away, and thought wait, hold on. NO WAY... IS THAT...OMG... IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS??! Yes, check it out, Blue Dots and a random Glasbake bowl for $3.93! The fact that the dots bowl was taped in there and bundled as a 2-piece set is totally cracking me up.
Happy Friday everyone!
What a wonderful surprise!! That's what I love about thrifting it's like a treasure hunt!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! I went to Goodwill for half price Fridays and they only had one piece in decent condition...wasn't on my want list so I left it because the line at the cash was 20 people deep!
ReplyDeleteThat's an odd combination to see taped together - I blogged about what I found in the same way - it sure took me by surprise too..

That is fantastic! Glad you gave it a second look. The random Glassbake was 'protecting' the dot Pyrex from getting beat up on the shelves. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteNice find! I've learned to really dig for good Pyrex finds, they can turn up in unexpected places.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've noticed that suddenly my local Goodwills have been doing "bundles" like this. I think maybe it's so that they can sell some less-popular pieces and get rid of them along with the more desirable ones?
Looks like Value Village-tell me you aren't in Houston! I would be sick with jealousy! :) What a great score!
ReplyDeleteWillow- no sorry, I'm in the DC/Baltimore area!
ReplyDeleteIt really is amusing how I found it. I think I even said OMG out loud. Those people probably thought I was crazy. I didn't even cut the tape until I got home because I knew what was inside. Almost like if I did open it, someone would say, hold on, that's a mistake. Ha!!!
That is amazing!! So glad you went back to check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a find!! How awesome! I would have been dancing up to the register and my hands would have been shaking! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! nice job spotting that!
