Winter Blues

This is what my Pyrex cabinet has looked like for winter.  I love seeing all the blue and turquoise I have all together!  Since I took this picture, I've even acquired a couple other pieces.  I may have done some late night e-baying and this showed up in the mail today--in one piece, complete with lid and candle warmer!

My newest discovery is that I can find some of the candle warmers and holder things at the thrift stores separate from the casseroles.  The top center oval casserole is in a candle warmer that I found all on it's own.  I recently found a holder for the round casserole in the middle on the right.  I'm sad that they got separated from their original mates, but glad to add them to my collection.

I love these abstract-ish snowflakes!

Who can resist turquoise and snowflakes?!

recently I have stumbled upon two of these snowflake casseroles while thrifting

both very good deals - and both in very good shape!

one finally made its debut this weekend at our ornament exchange

it perfectly held our two varieties of peppermint pretzel bark!

to enjoying our pyrex during the holidays!

As any Pyrexia sufferer knows, storage for your precious beauties presents a challenge. There is much talk of "The Art of Stacking" and whether to keep the lids separate or with their intended.

I have been keeping my ever growing stash in an already space challenged kitchen cabinet. This presents several obvious problems, starting with the fact that you can't actually gaze upon the addictive patterns and colors. Secondly, there is a slight safety issue with dragging out the whole load to get to the inevitable 4 qt Cinderella on the bottom. I am also concerned about the unnecessary wear and tear to the pieces.

So, like many others I have opted to display my Pyrex (and Fire-King) in a period appropriate cabinet I discovered on Craigslist (haggled $75). It is in perfect vintage condition and includes the simple sliding glass doors (not pictured). My storage and access problems are resolved!

How do you deal with storage?
