Quick find

I stopped by Savers while running errands and found this guy. It was another pattern (Town and Country) I don't have. I love that I'm finding all these different patterns! Today I discovered that divided dishes like this one are perfect for when you're frying things and need a bowl for the egg mixture and one for the flour mixture. We made fried green tomatoes today and they were AMAZING!!! I'm so glad I had Pyrex to use for it. :)

Dangerous

Oooh, this is dangerous. Having a Savers less than 5 minutes from my house is not good for my collecting habit. 

I found these two little pretties today. I was excited cause they were two that I didn't have and they were only $1.99 each. 

I have a blue with white snowflake one like this. I'm excited to have one like this. It'll be fun to have out come Christmas time. :)

I did end up leaving 3 bowls that I already had, so, go me! :)

A few little finds.

We went for a short Pyrex hunt today just to get out of the house. We went to a new Savers that was set up just down the road from us. I'm not always a fan of Savers just because they tend to be over priced, but I thought I'd look anyway. 

I found a few good things...

I was in need of a new 1 cup measuring cup. I got an Anchor Hocking measuring cup set a year ago and all of the markings have come off of it. How are you supposed to measure things when there's no measurements?! Now I know why you choose Pyrex over Anchor Hocking! I was excited to spot a nice Pyrex measuring cup today. It was just what I needed!

Another thing about Savers... They put these HUGE price tags in random spots and its a PAIN to get them off. After peeling off as much as I could, I used some hot soapy water and a sponge and they came off pretty easy. 

I saw this little gravy boat first and was debating on getting him just because of the $4 price tag, but he was too cute to pass up. He'll go well with the bowls I have of the Autumn Harvest pattern. 

I looked through a couple other sections before finding this baby! I love the Friendship pattern and I can NEVER find it anywhere. It's also one of the only Pyrex I have with red on it. I wish I could find more red. 

Not too bad for a 10 minute trip to the store! :)

Good deal!

We were close to a DI earlier today and my hubby says, "Run in and see if there's anything." I wasn't expecting to find anything and I didn't see anything at first until I spotted the little fridge dish, at the bottom, hiding behind some other stuff. Then I thought I'd check out the cups "just in case" and I saw the Old Town cups. I thought about only getting one, but then I thought of my Grandma Cook and thought they'd be a great addition to the collection. The thing that cracks me up about those cups is 4 out of the 5 say Pyrex on the bottom and ONE says Corning.  I also spotted ONE Ribbon Bouquet mug. I thought it looked a little different than normal Pyrex, but sure enough it says Pyrex on the bottom. I also found two small green lined plates. I don't know what pattern or what they are, but they say Pyrex. I also found this one dish. It's Corning, and I don't know the pattern, but I had to get it. :)

The best part... It all cost me $5.50!! :) I LOVE finding good deals!

Hot Springs, Montana Finds

 I saw this bowl at the little "thrift" shop in Hot Springs, Montana while visiting my Grandma. It's such a little town I didn't think I could find anything. I saw this bowl at the bottom back of a shelf and I kept going back and forth on it. It didn't look like it was in the best condition and I'm trying to be more selective in my finds, so I left it behind. 

I later told my hubby about it and while he was picking up some comics he decided to grab this bowl too. He told me he's seen me purchase bowls that were in worse condition and that this one he liked cause it made him think of our dads being in the military and all. He knew I could clean it up with some elbow grease.

 Sure enough, it cleaned up nice and pretty. Not many scratches to it. This bowl is actually pretty rare it seems. I'm glad he got it anyway.

 It even has this neat little tab on the bottom of the bowl. 

I saw these yellow bowls. $30 is a lot more than I normally pay for Pyrex, but they were all in good condition and I couldn't leave the store empty handed so I picked them up. Plus, I really like the yellow.

 This little bowl was also close to the yellow bowls at the shop. The store owner gave it to me for free! :) I love when that happens! We even found a bowl like this in the back corner of a HIGH shelf at my Grandma's house. Everyone kept telling me to ask her for it, but I was nervous and missed the opportunity.

San Antonio Find

My in-laws are visiting from San Antonio and they brought this little find with them for my birthday!

I don't have any black Pyrex so this little treasure was really cool. My first thought was how awesome it'll look when we have a Halloween party. The orange and black is just perfect. :) 

Here's some info on it. My in-laws were so excited to have found a rare Pyrex. Not bad for never having shopped for Pyrex before. :)

It's Pyrex season!!!

FINALLY!!! It's Pyrex season! I've searched all winter to find some and nothing has come up until now. 

We went and looked at a couple stores and I found this little gravy boat. It made me think of my 96 yr old grandma so, I HAD to get it. :)

Then we stopped at a store on the way home and found a mint yellow refrigerator dish. Sometimes I wish I could find the lids too, but I'm running out of storage space and it's easier to stack without lids.

Today I found this blue one. The lid was FILTHY! I thought I'd try all the tricks to get it clean.

The dish washed up perfect... The lid... it's still soaking. I scrubbed it with barkeeper's friend and tried a Mr. Clean sponge with no luck.

Then I found this cute little 1.5 pt bowl. It's such a cute pattern. I think I'll use it for cereal tomorrow. :) 

Here's to a fruitful Pyrex season!!
