thrifted it thursday

well, typically the thrifting gods direct me to nothing but pyrex

however, when I stumbled on this orange beauty, I just had to get it

even though we have NO room in our little kitchen

I just couldn't resist

so this Beautyware Cake Carrier is

adorable, vintage, and pretty handy

thrifted it thursdays

these two little guys sat on the shelf at the thrift store for several weeks

I just kept waiting for those tag colors to get to 75% off

I think because the green one appeared to be a little beat up

but clearly it was just in need of a good scrub

and the blue wheat, being a promotional piece, most likely got passed up

I must admit, when I saw it at first I wasn't sure if it was Pyrex either

so now the lime green & blue wheat casserole have joined the rest of the family

thrifted it thursdays

now I have a hard time passing up little random pieces of pyrex when thrifting

especially when they are great deals

it you are in great shape - and under $1, you will be coming home with me

recently I was having to do a major pyrex re-arrange session

and these little guys just kept getting stacked

and it turns out - I'm pretty into it

what I'm not into right now - having a sore throat from teaching today

I was in quite the energetic/silly mood today

my kids quickly noticed

and I think they appreciated it

I guess strained vocal chords are worth it

and hey - tomorrow's friday!

thrifted it thursdays

this year I've decided to try out a few more regular "weekly" postings

I've enjoyed my "so they said" on sundays

so why not add another day of the week for another passion of mine - thrifting

and more specifically, thrifting pyrex

this week I picked up this turquoise bowl from the  Hostess Oven and Table set

and the funny thing was I was in one of those thrift stores that have the "collectible" section

where they put ALL their pyrex, and it is almost ALWAYS overpriced

you just have to get lucky that you are there on the right "tag color" discount day

however, this bowl was in the regular kitchen section

maybe a fellow thrifter was hiding the piece until the discount day was even higher?

well, sorry, not going to chance it for my first piece of this kind

I'll take the 25% off gladly

oh, and it is hard to hide pyrex from a true collector hoarder of pyrex

now you may notice the interesting stacking I've chosen here

yes, I do actually love this combination with my set of Designs bowls

but truly, things are having to get very creative in my collection display

now while I'm on the topic of thrifting, I actually did thrift the large Designs bowl

at the very same store I found the Turquoise Hostess!

Just about five months apart from each other,

clearly they were meant to be together

Now the littlest guy was not thrifted, but found in an antique mall in Ohio

at a very thrifted price!

so there we go, enough about that - happy thrifting!
