A Prelude to Spring

It's so nice that in the middle of a rainy/snowy afternoon just a few days away from Spring, a ray of sunshine can still appear.....

Behold the beautiful new addition to my Pyrex collection....a Yellow Rainbow Stripes #402.  She is as pretty as can be and only set me back $10.00 at an antique store.  Yippee!!! 

If the weather wasn't so bad, I'd take her outside and photograph her in the sunshine.  But for now, she will just have to hold some yummy salt water taffy fresh from the Oregon Coast.

She makes me smile.

Happy Sunday!

Bits & Pieces

 I just thought I'd shared some recent acquisitions, my collection continues to grow {out of control}. Above is the Friendship purchase I made off Etsy. I got both for $22, which is not a deal by my standards, but I decided I wanted them for my daughter's 1st birthday party next month so I was willing to pay a little extra...

Also, yesterday I picked up the Butterprint 442 at an antique store, now all I need is the 441. If anyone has one for trade, let me know!

 A friend recently traded me this Garden Medley casserole, I decided it'd make a great dish for my paper whites.

Yesterday, I found this Golden Scroll casserole at Goodwill for $4.99. It needs a good cleaning, but I saw this dish at an antique store recently going for $20. So I happily paid $5 for it. I adore the color!

 This is, by far, my most favorite find recently! Pink Rainbow Stripes! Found them at a community garage sale/antique show. They had the same sizes in yellow & blue, too {and if I was rich, I would have jumped on them, but sadly I had to chose}. So I had to decide which color to take home, I chose pink. I paid $25 for the two. Again, more than I'm usually willing to pay, for sure, but it's not every day you see pink Rainbow Stripe, right?

 Although this find, at the same sale, was only $5! A Fire King jadite 2qt casserole! Not Pyrex, sorry, but I sort of have a thing for jadite, too. For $5, I couldn't pass it up! Although when I got it home and researched it, I found out it is Fire-King 2000, not vintage. Still, for $5 I love it!

 Last but not least, at an indoor flea market I picked up this corner shelf for a steal. I've been looking for a corner shelf to help with my Pyrex display {we live in too small a house for this addiction} so I took it home.

Thanks for looking. Happy Pyrexing!
