A very pyrex holiday

 It was a very pyrex holiday here at my house.
My parents bought me these two beautiful pieces back from Fort Wayne, Indiana (Hi Karin and Mark!) as Christmas presents. A lovely verde casserole with patterned lid! and my very sought after pink gooseberry fridigie! The gravy boat (sans underplate) was from my "inlaws". I was spoiled. My boyfriend even bought me the pyrex collectors book, although I'm still unsure as to whether he supports this addiction.

I replied to a message on kijiji and ended up scoring all this.
It belonged to the womans mother and the butterprint set had been a wedding present to her.
I love the history you get when you buy pyrex from people rather than from a store.

I got these three over two days from two different VVs.
A verde 043, a blue horizon and a friendship orange with daisy lid.

But, this was the best find of the holiday. Another craigslist find and I paid, get ready for it....
 FIVE DOLLARS! She's gorgeous, there's some scratches but they're all on the bottom. The woman I got it from said she got it as a wedding present in 1961. I think she's survived very well.

That's all for me for now,
Hope you all had a wonderful, pyrex filled holiday.

Love the gold!

It may have been Black Friday for all of you in the U. S. of A. ....

but up here in Canada, where we do Thanksgiving in October, it was a gold leaf-on-ivory kind of day for me:

I found the Golden Branch casserole and a couple of Gold Acorns at the same second-hand store ($10.00 for the divided dish, $5.00 and $4.00 for the lidless ones):

I should have mentioned in my previous post that I did find the "big green bowl" that began my thrifting/Pyrex addiction. It was in a Goodwill in a nearby town for $4.00, and was in better shape than the one I broke.

Let the Christmas cookie making begin!
