new home, new pyrex displays

hello everyone!

 haven't posted lately

turns out having a baby, going back to work five months later,

moving into a new home, and finishing my masters [in june!]

can make for fewer pyrex posts - mostly because I'm still not on a regular hunting schedule

but, I do have something to share

a new home means displaying the pyrex collection in new ways

this corner window ledge is one of my favorite places in my new home

and as you maybe can tell, our new home was actually built right around 1950

so vintage pyrex was meant for this ledge!

I love having a dining room for my hutch

it seems quite small now that it is in a room, and not a hallway

I also love that I can see the majority of my collection from the main living space

something that was not true in our other home

even so, I still have a few pieces I cannot display

we lost three very large open shelves that our old kitchen had

and I'm really hating that our china and a few other pieces are hidden

I'll have to work on something for that soon

but for now, I can officially say I have moved my ninety+ piece collection 

with no breaks, chips, or cracks

[I did spend a good penny on packing supplies however]

One found, one given away.

I found this little number at an op shop that I pop into now and then on my way to work. I didn't see it straight away but jumped at it when I did.  I wish I was more eagle eyed because I am sure I miss treasures here and there. 

This one actually has a lid, I don't normally find dishes this shape with lids. It was $6 and looked like new, paint is in fantastic condition as you can see, however I found a flat chip on the handle part when I got it home. It's not very noticeable though.  I am still happy!

My friend and I were chatting the other day and she told me she has two large Cinderella mixing bowls, but is missing the smaller one. I mentioned to  her that there should be four bowls (maybe I shouldn't have told her - lol). I knew I had the size bowl she was after put away somewhere. She said that she wasn't fussy about it matching her other bowls so it became hers. I wasn't really a fan of the Gooseberry pattern when I first bought this bowl (for $1) but it has since  grown on me.  I tells ya, she must be a good friend to be offered one of my precious mixing bowls (which is my thing at the moment). Luckily she is - lol.

Oh my precious Gooseberry, how I miss ya! I know you have a good home now and I can still visit. Hee Hee

Have a great week! Sherry @ Hello Vintage

Mismatched Sets are Beautiful Too!

My thrifting has been a bit out of control these last few weeks because I haven't been working. This week I got these three lovely bowls:

The bottom one is the most stunning colour of pink! I was so excited about the middle one because I have a platter with this rose on it and I love it so much I display it like art.

I also found these mugs, which are Crown Pyrex.

There are some more pictures on my blog too.

Happy Hunting!
