More Pyrex!

Here are a couple of other pieces I've picked up lately: 


 This snowflake casserole was one of the first pyrex pieces I bought. It was hidden away in an antique store. After seeing no pyrex, I asked the cashier to make sure I wasn't over looking anything and she pulled out this piece! 

 Snowflake Cinderella bowl


 This is probably one of my favorite pieces so far: a Pyrex Juice Jar! My best friend, Savannah and I randomly stopped in an antique store in Lexington, Kentucky a couple of weeks ago and found this. There was so much pyrex in the store! It was hard not to want everything! Savannah has a pretty good eye for pyrex and helped me find several pieces. I can't wait to go home again so we can shop together some more! 


 A couple of refrigerator dishes: butterfly gold, Early American, and blue. I actually have a duplicate of the butterfly gold fridgie, but it doesn't have a lid. Currently, it's cheering up my sink and holding sponges.


 Smaller Butterfly Gold Casserole with matching lid


 My mom and I found this measuring cup while we were out antiquing in Kentucky. According to what I can find, Pyrex made these in the 1941 and mine is for dry goods. 


Several sunflower yellow and orange cinderella bowls in various sizes. My mom and I found this set for $25! There is a 5th orange bowl, but it is pretty scratched up. There was only one lid with the set, but I found lids for the two smaller bowls last weekend for $1.99 each! I was super-excited!

My Love for Vintage Pyrex...

I have a love for all things vintage and shabby chic. I think I was around thirteen when I had my first subscription to Country Living Magazine. So, it was pretty natural that I recently fell in love with collecting vintage Pyrex. I love how the pieces are so bright and fun! I can't help but smile whenever I open my cabinets or prepare food in them. Here are a couple of my recent finds and favorites. 

 I found this Amish print large refrigerator dish at a local thrift store this weekend. I was so excited, as I have been coveting the Amish print since I started looking at Pyrex. I just love the aqua color and the fact that it is in pristine condition was a bonus! 


 Another thrift store goody, this cinderella casserole dish has the plastic holder and a beautiful lid. I've heard that it's called Ocean Filagree but I am not sure if the bowl is the original matching piece or not. It's gorgeous!
