Pyrex Haul

It goes in waves. The Pyrex, that is.

About a week and a half ago, I thrifted a pink bowl in the Gooseberry pattern, the largest bowl in the Cinderella shape (the pour spout shape), after about two months of not finding a piece. Two months! Now, I realize I have a lot of Pyrex, so the pieces I need are becoming few and far between. As they should.

But two months was a long time for someone who thrifts all the time.

So I found this amazing pink bowl, and then at a different thrift store a couple hours later, I found a beautiful yellow and white Gooseberry bowl set. (Scroll down to see more photos. Also, the yellow and white, and pink were $13 each.)

So not only do I find the same pattern in different colors, but I also find a rare pattern. Very rare. These are patterns from the 1950s so finding them seventy years later is already a miracle. Finding them in nearly excellent condition is another one. And that's what happened all on the same day.

Then, a few days later, I found this beautiful blue and white Butterprint pattern, also from the 1950s. These were about $12 each. Then I found the small bowl for the chip and dip Balloon pattern. This is the rarest of all the patterns I found that week! My finds just kept getting better and better.

As I said, if you're a Pyrex collector who thrifts a lot, you understand what I'm talking about. It's feast or famine sometimes. And I feasted like a queen last week!

The prices were very, very fair for rare Pyrex. 

I had to share my finds and one of these days, I'll have all that I'm looking for. But until that happens, every time I thrift a piece of Pyrex, I know how miraculous it is. It seems like everyone is collecting it, so finding them at great prices feels like I've struck gold. Eureka!

Happy Pyrex hunting...
