I'm in love!

My sister introduced me to vintage Pyrex, and it was love at first sight. In order to start my collection, Garrett and I decided to devote Saturday morning to Pyrex hunting. We got up at 6:30am, went to one antique sale, one yard sale, two estate sales, two D.I.s and one consignment shop. Sadly, the only place that had any decent Pyrex was the very last place we went, an adorable consignment shop on 9th East. Happily, the Pyrex they had was BEAUTIFUL! As you can see, I bought two casserole dishes and one lovely Cinderella mixing bowl. I can't believe they don't make this stuff anymore. I think everyone would totally buy it instead of the plain boring clear glass stuff they make now. Just look at that Cinderella bowl. It is the perfect mixing bowl, with a round shape, a spout and a handle. Why would they stop making such a perfectly designed mixing bowl?


This little casserole dish, for me, is the belle of the ball. When my sister first showed me all the vintage Pyrex patterns, this was the one I immediately fell in love with. I couldn't find any listings for it on Ebay or Etsy, and I thought that this would be the one item I would always love and never be able to find. Lucky me! Isn't it lovely? The pattern is called Crazy Quilt, and it was a promotional item so it only comes in this size.


The morning prior to my amazing Pyrex discovery was not a total bust. I picked up this pretty green bowl and silver-rimmed glass coasters at the antiques sale for a song. The coasters need to be polished, but at $1 for the whole set, I'm not complaining. All in all, it was a very productive morning, which Garrett and I promptly made up for by taking a well-deserved nap.
