The Drought is Over...I think!

I was stunned and delighted to pull this out of the new merch bin at Goodwill yesterday. Four clear fridgies! Three with lids! And in a holder I've never seen before and not even sure originally came with the Pyrex--does anyone know for sure?

I picked the entire set up for $5.99. There was now way I was leaving the 501 lids behind!

I'm sure a lot of other collectors have the same issue, I had plenty of fridgies at home with missing lids! I would have gladly bought just the lids, but the extra pieces were a bonus, for sure. 

Also found last week was this little red set! I love the size of the little red dishes, they're darling. 

Then there's THIS! Orange Butterprint!! It's a 443, and a friend picked it up for me. I nearly keeled over when she texted me asking if I wanted it. 

To which I replied, "I want!!!!"

I guess it was marked $12.99 but she got it half off. Yay!

{Thank you, Kellee!}

After a day of thrifting with my husband last weekend this was the only Pyrex I had to show for it, but it was a fun find and $3.

And a Wheat 043 gifted to me by a friend who already had two.

{More thanks, Kellee!}

A Pixie was found at an antique mall for $6.

I've never seen one in real life before, so I was smitten with it's size!

And also these two little dudes, thrifted a couple weeks back.

Now I wish I hadn't sold my other Twin dish. Oh well...

So, I guess it's safe to say that Pyrex Drought of Winter 2012 is officially over for me. Last summer was really fruitful for me, so I'm looking forward to the Pyrex to come!

PS--I recently spotted a little bit o' Pyrex at a retro kitchen exhibit here in Denver, check out my blog to see what I found: http://lastdayago.blogspot.com

Vintage Pyrex stars on the big screen again!

So I'm excited to share this--because I *think* I'm the first person to post this, I'm sorry if you've all already heard it--but vintage Pyrex starred alongside Channing Tatum & Rachel McAdams in The Vow!

My husband and I went to see this movie tonight and the movie was only a few minutes in when I thought I spotted what looked to be a green {Verde?} Cinderella bowl in a kitchen scene...

Could that be Pyrex...?

I wondered for several seconds, and then bam! Rachel McAdam's character turns around with a Butterprint casserole in her hand and sets it down on the table. Of course I freaked out and my husband had to tell me to calm down {he puts up with my addiction pretty well, until I freak out in a theatre full of people over it. It happened last year when we saw Super 8, too.}

There was also a sighting of a Daisy divided casserole in one scene, and I *think* I might have spotted an Early American dish in the art studio scene. 

I'd post pictures if it weren't illegal--but now you'll all have to go watch The Vow, if not to enjoy the movie then to at least for a good Pyrex search during the movie! 

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!
