I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I guess I have the magic touch or good karma or whatever right now. Check out my Pyrex haul from just the last week:
Yes, you're seeing all that Friendship correctly! I went to two different stores on Saturday (not usually the best day to thrift, either) and all I found was Friendship everywhere! The divided dish ($5), as well as the Snowflake Garland lid came from one Goodwill. Then I went down the road to another thrift and found all the 470 casseroles. The 471 (without lid) was $2.50, and the 472 and 473 with opal lids were $3.50 each. I thought I was going to pass out trying to get all those in my cart! I now have quite the collection of Friendship, all this plus the 444, 443 and 442 Cinderella bowls, and it was all thrifted. Which is great because I can't afford to buy it online, LOL.
Last week I went to a thrift store I haven't been to in a long time (why, I don't really know, because it is a great store) and bought the woodland 043 and Spring Blossom 473 for just a few bucks each. They are not my favorites, but are near mint, so I will be putting them in my booth.
Then last night I was on my way to work and had to stop in to a little thrift on the way- Bingo! The lime 232 was there waiting for me for $4.50. I am really loving the lime and flamingo bakewear right now. I will have to do some re-arranging of my shelves to display it better. But not today; I've got Mr. Limey in the oven baking up a peach cobbler right now!
And finally today, I just got a good Pyrex vibe after I dropped my daughter off at school and had to run into my closest local thrift. I found the Butterprint 503 with lid for $3.50 and the Golden Tulip for $3.99, as well as the Flamewear saucepan for $5. That's about as much Pyrex as I've ever gotten at this store in one shot, so my spidey sense was definitely working!
I found a ton of other stuff too, but I will save that for next time.
Good grief! You've really been hauling in the Pyrex lately. Congratulations on your fantastic finds. As my grandfather used to say, "You must be livin' right." :)
ReplyDeletePyrex Diva! Great finds. I'm waiting to own a couple of those Friendship pieces.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! What an amazing haul. I also thrift all of my own pyrex and other vintage bakeware, its just too expensive to buy anywhere else! I love all of the colors in your collection! I have several of those green flower ones (no idea what the pattern is called) but I thrifted an big collection of those in a weekend!
ReplyDeleteBrittany, the green flower ones are called Spring Blossom and they are cute. I have been busy canning and baking this week, and I used so much of my Pyrex. It's great to have a collection that you can put to good use! :)
DeleteI had the MOST Amazing Friendship find today! I have NEVER seen it in the wild (just in captivity in Antiques stores for big bucks!) And today I went into my favorite thrift store, walked right to the back and BAM there right in front of me as the entire "Friendship" fridggie set! FOR $6.29!!!! THE WHOLE SET FOR SIX DOLLARS AND TWENTY NINE CENTS! I just about had a heart attack, and now my Christmas Shopping for my Mom is done! :D
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! I dream of a find like that- lucky you (and your mom!)
DeleteThat's so awesome! Friendship is such a pain in the rear to find, and you found so much! I like what Sir Thrift a Lot said, Pyrex Diva!!!
