Any Explanations?

I was out at a "local" (It's an hour from my house in Toronto) antique market on the weekend and found this! I've have been thinking "Shenandoah" was the name of this pattern...

I posted this photo to my Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lulubellevintage/) and we thought maybe they thought "Shenadoah" was too "American" and they changed it's name for Canada to Wintergreen. We couldn't imagine what they were thinking. how does this pattern look wintery at all?!

So, HoneyberryHaskap said this in regards to this find on Flickr  "Here is the official word from Corelle Corner:
In Canada, Shenandoah was named Wintergreen instead, but the pattern is exactly the same. It is still American-made Pyrex, but in a different box."
It's always neat to find little bits of information like this lying around.

Also, If you're located in or near Toronto and are feeling vintage thrifty there's a clothing (and other cool stuff) sale happening on Sunday Feb,26. Check out the link for information. It's going to be great! Clothing Sale!

The Crown of My Collection

I know I'm not the first and only one to post about the Bluebird casserole, but I just couldn't resist showing off what I consider to be the crown of my entire collection. {Which by the way, since starting to collect in May I have over 100 pieces! Uh-oh... time to start trading & re-selling...}

So here she is! My "baby". I found this on Etsy last month, actually, and paid more than I've ever paid for a piece of Pyrex before. But, I ADORE this pattern, have never seen a Bluebird in the wild, and it came with it's original cradle, lid, and box! The cradle looks tarnished some, but the dish itself is pretty much mint, I cannot find a single utensil mark on it. Even the box is in superb condition. And at 50 years old!

So I bought it for $18. More than I've ever spent before, but I had some spending money and decided to treat myself to a Pyrex dish that I truly desired. I love it!

Cheers!
