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!

Cheers,

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

Turquoise & Pink Have a New Home

While doing a little thrift store/antiquing this weekend, I found this cute old utility cart

It used to be pink and was in pretty good condition with only a few rust spots.  I wish I had gotten a before picture but my husband got ahold of the spray paint before I could.  It is turquoise now (sorry about the shadows).  Since he was doing all the hard work, I gave him the option of colors.  Being the guy he is, he obviously chose the blue over the pink.  Now it proudly sits in my kitchen and holds all of my turquoise and pink patterns

How lucky am I to have found a guy who can wield a can of spray paint? 

Have a great week!
