Sometimes You Just Gotta Bid

Hi Everyone!  Thrifter Sister Erica here.

I normally steer clear of buying Pyrex off of eBay.  No, it's not the shipping prices that scare me.  I just love when I find a piece in person.  It's a little more rewarding.  But even I know that there are certain pieces that I will never come across in person, pieces that I covet, pieces that I NEED!  And every once in a while, one of those pieces pops up online and I decide that it will be mine.


What is that dish in that beautiful shade of pink?


With those perfect white "Stems"?


And the perfect original lid and cradle?  Pink Stems 043!!

Give me a bad time and call me a cheater if you want.  I can take it.  This beauty is mine and nothing is going to rain on my parade!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Erica

  2. Gorgeous. I agree. I love to drool on E-bay but there is nothing like stumbling across a beauty at a yard sale or flea market. But for those "must haves" I would be willing to get it from E-bay to make sure I get it. Somethings just aren't available otherwise.

  3. Happy for you! It's one I would LOVE to have and don't blame you a bit for grabbing it on Ebay. I think that's about the only way to get it.
    Great Job!

  5. You have to do what you have to sometimes. I like the challenge of finding the pieces at the secondhand stores and garage sales but there's something's I now I won't find that easily in my area. Nice dish pink my favorite Pyrex color.

  6. Loooooooove it!

    I collect space savers, to the max & today found one with a cradle, lid & it was $7 in an antique market. Not too much of a desirable pattern, but whatevs, I tossed the divided dish to the mother in law.. but I'll keep this space saver!

  9. Erica, I say take em anyway you can get em. lol! I have never seen this pattern. Love it! I scored a aqua bird patterned one in that exact shape and with the lid and cradle too. I love it and have it on my counter. Too cute to hide away in the cupboard.

  11. Totally worth the bid. I also love the thrill of the hunt... but if it's something you love, then it's definitely worth bidding on. It's beautiful!
