Some Recent Finds & A Vintage Booth

It has been a long while since I've shared anything of my own here, but I always love seeing everyone else's collections and fun finds. Here is a bit of what I've found recently..

 

I was very excited about these because I needed a lasagne pan since my current one has rounded corners and doesn't work with straight noodles. The snowflake is also my first open baker. I love the shape of the divded casseroles, but don't like the divided part at all.

 

 

Underplate for a Friendship casserole dish, and sage scroll on white.

 

 Ivy, orange 502, moon deco, and a percolator.
 

 

I started a teeny Pyrex collection for my son (due in August). My husband rolled his eyes, but look how cute the trains are! I'm trying to find the plate, but nothing yet.

 

 

I also finally finished my fridgie rainbow. I made this silly goal when I started collecting that I would get the smallest fridgie in every colour. Technically I'm missing opal and delphite, but I'm still calling it done, and it only took three years!

 

I wish I had taken this picture when the shelf was a bit more full and actually had more turquoise and pink on it, but here is the Pyrex wall at Lulu & Lolie (a booth in an antique market in Pickering, Ontario, Canada..1400 Squires Beach Rd if you're interested in stopping by)...

 



Calling Pyrex Collectors

Hello there,

A woman by the name of Catherine May emailed me with a request. She works for a Toronto television company that is producing a new series called Collectors which features various collectors throughout Canada and the U.S. She would love to find a rabid vintage Pyrex collector to feature on the show.

If you are interested, please email Catherine at catherine@acrhitect-films.com

All the best,

Canadian Erin

Nesting mixing bowls

I have bought a few sets of cinderella nesting bowls for a couple friends and ran upon this one at Clarksville Missouri Antique Mall, they had a pink set also, however both my friends have the pink sets thanks to me

                                                                       

I should be a picker, guess I am in some ways , every time I am out shopping antique malls and flea markets I see items I know certain people would like 

I don't know the name of all the pyrex sets but I do know she will love this turquoise color 

These will go out UPS to Savannah Georgia to Cheryl Day at Back in the Day Bakery 

Interview Request!

Hello,

I received a friendly email from Tove at foodpolitic.com who would like to interview Pyrex collectors for an article. If you can help, please email Tove at tove@foodpolitic.com

All the best,

Canadian Erin

Lid Luck!

This week I was lucky enough to find THREE lids that seem to be very elusive to find by themselves in the wild. A space saver lid, a 473 & a 043. They've all got wonderful homes. 

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to find this beautiful lid: 

I had passed on the casserole itself with a clear lid at an antique market in Michigan on Boxing Day for cheap thinking the odds are finding the lid were nil. 

If you're bored, come check out my other finds from this week

Happy Thrifting!

Can you help this woman out? Value Village in Spokane, WA

I'm sorry to high-jack the collective, but I know this blog has a higher readership than my personal blog. A woman on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ValueVillage?ref=stream">Value Village</a> Facebook page posting about accidentally donating a box of her parents belongings after they passed away recently among other items donated - about 20-30 Hummel figures at the Sprague store in Spokane, WA. You can send her a message via Facebook (find her in the stream). She'd really like them back & she's willing to purchase them back.

Starbursts & Polka Dots!

I picked up two nice Pyrex pieces recently.  I was happy to find this green polka dots mixing bowl to help finish a set -- now all I need is the yellow one!

I also go this starburst casserole & I just love it!

When I went online, though, to try to find out about the pattern & history, I saw one just like it that ended up selling on Ebay for $120!  Can any of you tell me about it -- when it was made, if it was a promotional, what the pattern name is, etc?  Do any of you know why it would sell for so much?  I'm assuming it was bidder's frenzy and that two people just REALLY wanted it a lot!  Regardless of how much it's worth, it's not leaving my collection any time soon!

Thanks for anything you can tell me about it!
