Pyrex I Left For You!

I found so much Pyrex this weekend! Only problem is...I didn't want most of it. So here is some Pyrex I left for you. :)

I carried this guy around for awhile, but ended up putting it back. I just didn't love it enough.

Shenandoah, $6.99

I really dislike you, Early American. I WILL NOT BUY YOU NO MATTER HOW CHEAP YOU ARE. Please stop following me.

Early American, $2.99

I'm sure this was lovely at some point. But this price for this faded guy is just crazy.

Pink Gooseberry, $4.99

Seriously, Early American, NO. NO!

Early American, $5.99

I'm one of those weird people who loves Homestead...but for this price, I just couldn't.

Homestead, $6.99

Hope everyone is having more luck than I thrifting! :)

Thriftin' Tuesday

I had an hour or so to spare before work this morning so, naturally, I went thrifting!

I found this b-e-a-utiful pink desert dawn piece for $2 and happily bought it. It's my first desert dawn Pyrex and I'm pretty excited about it. I also found this little #401 yellow bowl for $2. 

And now it's necessary winding-down wine time on my new patio.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Pyrex-less

Hello all! I haven't been blogging much lately because I'm moving! What fun it shall be living with three guys - boyfriend, brother, brother's bestie. Ohh my!

I've been thrifting/garage sale-ing a lot to fill my new house with furniture, but I haven't picked up much Pyrex lately. How sad. I did find this b-e-a-utiful HUGE casserole dish today - but $22? No thank you. But, oh, how sweet it is. I want a piece this size - it would be great for big family dinners!

Now back to unpacking - hope everyone else is having more Pyrex luck than I! :)

What I Left Behind

I find myself walking away from quite a bit, it seems. Want to see?

This golden acorn divided dish just didn't scream to me. Plus it was $4.99, with no lid. Ehh.

I'm afraid to say I think this butterfly gold print is one of my least favorites - sad, huh? Again, no lid, and $4.99 on this gal as well. 

I'm kind of regretting not getting this little cross-stitching. How adorable is it?! $.99, too. I'm not quite sure why I turned it down, either. Boo on me.

However, I did score a sweet complete Pyrex percolator for $5!

Eeeek! I had to try it out immediately, although it didn't turn out so well. I'm afraid my coffee was ground too small and fell through into the brewed coffee. Boo! But I will try again soon, with coarser grounds. Or maybe I'll just use it for tea. Either way, I dig it.

Hope everyone is having a weekend!

Fire King Finds

Friday might be my favorite day of the week. They're always full of morning coffee with my Pop and then garage sale hunting! Today was no exception.

We headed off to our first sale - the garage was just beginning to rise. Pop's number one rule: Be early! I immediately headed to the table in the back lined with dishes. Wait - could that be...no...

Yes! Jadeite! I've longed over jadeite for so very long. And now it's mine! And for just $2 for the lot of it! (Creamer, 4 pie plates, & 3 saucers) Also picked up some other goodies:

Pink swirl Fire King dinner plate with matching teacup, for my dear pink-obsessed Ace (momma!) I'm keeping the 1950's retro pink plastic cookie jar, though. Ah-dorable. And at less than a dollar for all three of these treasures, how could I say no?

Off to another sale! And, oh boy, was it a great one.

I got both of these beauties for $1! Oh my, how I love elderly ladies' garage sales. I've seen the white divided candy dish before, but I've never seen anything like this casserole dish! Take a closer look...

Isn't it just lovely?! Clear glass covered in golden specks with a beautiful teal medallion resting on top...just beautiful. Has anyone else ever seen this piece before?

Picked up one more retro goodie for my brother, the vintage-radio collector:

High-five for great finds!
