I got these vintage Pyrex pitchers and jelly jar glasses too late to use them this summer. Actually the tall set of glasses were sour cream and peanut butter containers. They even still had their lids. 

Next summer you can bet I will be serving up lemonade and ice tea in them though.

My mom and I were busy little bees at this summer's yardsales and flea markets. These are pictures of all the Pyrex either my mom or I found for my collection. Keep in mind I don't pay over $10 and I am quite sure my mom doesn't either. 

I know what you are thinking... where do I keep all these? I have shelves in my basement for them... but even I am coming to the realization that I might have a problem on my hands soon. I need to start limiting myself to only my favorite finds. It's hard though when you find a mint condition Early American pattern 1.5 Qt Divided Cinderella Oval Casserole for only $3!!!

Thank goodness for the Pyrex Files and Pyrex Love... these sites help me identify all the patterns!

The last time my parent visited they brought me a cute wood cupboard they got at an auction. I moved all my little knickknacks and dishes over into it and placed some of my favorite vintage Pyrex pieces in the vacated glass cupboard (actually a greenhouse from Ikea)

Mmmm yeah... I got a lotta little dishes.

I found these Pyrex Butterfly gold salt and pepper shakers last winter at an antique shop. They match my Pyrex butter dish. Now I am afraid to use any of them for fear of breaking up the set

Here are a few more goodies I got at the yard sale yesterday. 

Three vintage cookbooks ($1 each) and a small vintage Pyrex frying pan with removable handle ($4!). 

I am so pleased with myself.

Tina, Shruti and I went to a ginormous neighborhood yard sale today. I hit the jackpot with a Pyrex Pink Gooseberry Cinderella Large Mixing Bowl, a Pyrex 1.5 Qt Divided Cinderella Oval Casserole, a vintage aluminum cake carrier, and a gravy boat.

I really needed a gravy boat. 

I really didn't need another cake carrier. Hah.

I got some more vintage Pyrex dishes for Christmas presents. Turquoise Butterprint mixing bowl and refrigerator set, serving bowl with matching dishes and a small Daisy baking dish. I love the turquoise... it looks so nice with my pink Pyrex. The daisy dish is nice too... sunny and bright.

I really need a corner cabinet to keep all my collection on display. Right now I am rotating them so they all get some display time.
