Rarities

Balloons...
I have been so fortunate lately to come into some very nice, hard-to-find pieces! Thanks to a couple friends and some lucky finds--my collection is growing more unique all the time. 

I picked up the Balloons 444 today off of Craigslist. I paid $20, which is usually very high price for me to pay for Pyrex. But this one was on my must-finds list, so I was willing to pay a little more than usual. It has a few scratches, but is in generally lovely condition.

My orange Butterprint collection grows! I only need two more bowls. I had the 443 thanks to one friend, and another friend gave me the 444. So sweet!

My Gooseberry pink sets are now complete, too. I was delighted to find the 443 & 444 sitting on a shelf at Goodwill {or Gougewill, as I like to call it...} and they were the exact pieces I need for this set:

Meanwhile, my friend also found the 502 fridgie for me, which complete my fridgie set. Joy!
Gooseberry Fridgies--complete!
I have the best friends in the world. 
Because one also gave me this:
Starburst Space Saver!!!
I have lusted after the Starburst space saver for FOR.EV.ER!
It's minty, too:
MINTY Starburst

I have to say, I honestly feel sort of spoiled right now. Almost like I've been naughty, getting so many awesome pieces lately. I have Pyrex guilt!
