A BBQ with my Pyrex finds.

Yesterday we had a BBQ with the family. It was SO much fun! The great thing about having Pyrex is all the bowls and things you can use for such an occasion. :) We used it to hold the veggies before they were grilled.... Doesn't the chicken just look amazing?? Yeah, my hubby's an awesome BBQer.

Then I used a divided dish and bowl to hold my apples and strawberries that went along with this awesome dip. It's such a GREAT dip. Super simple too.

I just LOVE using my Pyrex!!!

Square Pyrex Find

I found this at a quick stop at DI the other day. My 2nd pink piece. It's a little beat up (You can't really tell in the picture.) I wish there was a way to paint back on the shine on these things. I've tried the whole rubbing oil on it thing, but it doesn't stay on forever and it leaves finger prints. Oh, well... one day I'll figure it out.

English Pyrex Find

I found these two casseroles at DI today. I wasn't too sure if they were Pyrex at first, but I checked the bottom (of course...) and it said Pyrex ENGLAND! Cool! My first international Pyrex. :) The big one has a little nick on the handle, but that's ok. 

The pattern is called Country Autumn.... Hummm... I will have to make a YUMMY autumn dish in it. Maybe something with pumpkin. Mmmm... pumpkin!

I also saw another red bowl that was really damaged. When, oh, when will I ever find a nice red bowl? One day....

Primary Colors Find

Today we went by a local Savers thrift store and I found these!

I was so excited to see these! There were also 3 little red fridgies, but they were all messed up. :( The blues, weren't perfect, but I thought they were fixable so, I got them. The yellows were in great shape. I glanced over the racks while thinking about buying the blues and saw the pink pie plate and had to snatch it up. It's in awesome shape, no scratches or anything. I can't wait to cook a pie in it!

I put all my fridgies together and had to take a picture. They're so great looking! I just love it!

Exciting Finds

We went to get our brakes fixed today and on the way home we stopped by a DI. I walked in straight to the glass section and saw these....

I literally gasped! I got SOO excited! They're SO beautiful and no scratches, perfect condition (besides a tiny chip on the rim of dark brown bowl). I snatched them so quick and kept looking for more. While I was looking at the cups a lady stopped and said, "Aren't they so pretty? I was carrying them around for a minute, but decided to put them back. I wanted to get these plates instead." I made sure to thank her for leaving them so I could have them. Haha! She told me about how I could sell them on ebay and make a ton off of them and I told her I was a collector and was so excited to add them to my collection. We talked for another minute before she wished me happy hunting and went on her way. I love meeting other collectors.

The little cup isn't Pyrex, it's Corelle, but the pattern matched the Woodland Brown bowls and I thought it was cute. I could see a bunch of buttons in it in my sewing room.

What a great bunch of finds today. :)

Red and Green Finds

The only red Pyrex I have are these two little refrigerator dishes. The shiny one I found today and the beat up one was my first red. It's so sad.... All the reds I've found up until today have looked like the one on the right or worse. Poor reds...

I felt so bad for that little one that I had to get it a while back. Compared to the one I got today it's amazing how shiny and nice it used to be. If only people knew how dishwashers (I'm assuming that's what did it to it.) ruined these poor things. I found a green one..... let me rephrase that.... a white one that USED to be green. 

I would have LOVED it if it was still green. :( Poor thing.

Clear Pyrex Finds

Like all my other Pyrex finds, we were running around in the car and stopped by a DI so I could go for a little search. I wasn't expecting to find anything in the way of bowls or casseroles since I haven't found much lately, but I thought there might be a cup or two.

After looking over the plates and cups for a few minutes I came across nothing. So, I decided to look at the clear stuff. I'm not much of a clear Pyrex collector, just cause a lot of it is newer and it's not that special. I did find these two pretty Pyrex though. 

This Old Town carafe was sitting there all dirty and needing a good wash. I wasn't sure if it was Pyrex or not, but the pattern looked familiar so I checked it out and sure enough it was!

Then there was this BRAND NEW loaf pan that looked like it had never been touched. For $2, I couldn't turn it down. It has a slight blue tint to it too, so it's not totally colorless.

I'm glad I stopped in. Even though I didn't find any bowls, this made my day. :)
