Happy Hump Day!!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Its been good for me so far. On Saturday I went out thrifting with my sis and her family and my son. We hit around 5 thrift stores. It wasn't the best day thirfiting, only found two things, but I did get a great deal on them. It happened to be half off day at the Salvation Army, the two pieces were marked $1.99 and $1.19 regular price and with half off even better!

Sorry not a great pic, this is a Pyrex flameware piece. I really don't know alot about it, except it has the flameware symbol on it and its marked 6717. I thought is was a cute little dish and the dollar price (regular price) was a bargain! This has a blue tint to it and I read that clear pieces made after 1998 were tinted blue. So it's not too old. Now to figure out what it's name is and if it had a lid.

This is a #683 lid, it fits a #23 casserole dish. I have a complete #23 casserole set, but it's always good to have a spare lid.
I bought both pieces for $1.60. Not too shabby!!

On Monday, I received three packages from auctions I won on Ebay.

Yay! Two more Snowflake blue pieces. I really like this pattern! I love the little creamer, it will be perfect for my next Tea Party.

Another gooseberry bowl! This pattern is another favorite of mine. This one is a 2 1/2 Qt bowl. I just need two more bowls to complete my set. I need the 1 1/2 qt and 4 qt.

Yesterday I went to 3 thrift stores, I found another lid, but not the one I need. It was marked $1.99, so I figured why not buy it since it was a different type of lid. It turned to be half off, since it was the right colored sticker...I didn't even know!

Now I need to figure out what type of casserole this lid matches. I think I can use it like a serving tray until I find the matching bottom.

That's all the new pieces I have so far this week.  Have a great rest of the week!!

Sorta Bummed!

I need a red 402 bowl to complete my primary bowl set. I have been watching Ebay and they are harder to find and when they are listed, they have been going for $20 and up plus shipping, which for me is usually around $10 and up. I found a red bowl on Ebay and it was a buy it now auction for $10 with $7.37, so of course I bought it. Well, it arrived yesterday and I am a bit bummed with it. It is a red 402 bowl....

But it isn't the right red. Its a red orange, which I am pretty sure belongs to the Friendship patterned bowl set.

Here is a comparison of the two colors. The fridgie is the primary red. On the bright side, the two patterned friendship bowls are on my want list and are easier to find than the primary red. So I now have a jump start on that set.

Hello out there!

Its Thursday and I haven't posted anything in a several days, that is because I really haven't had much to show you and I have been a tad lazy!
 I did go to my favorite antique store last Sunday while the world watched football. I didn't pick up anything, but I saw some nice stuff at reasonable prices just wasn't sure if I wanted or needed them.

This is one piece. Its a divided casserole dish in great condition. It's $19.99 and the booth is having a 40% off sale, so it would only be $11.95. Not too bad. I have 2 divided casseroles already and just not sure if I really need a third, even tho I really like the pattern. The pattern is called Blue Ivy and it was a promotional dish that came with a cradle. This one doesn't have the cradle.

I decided on Tuesday to go back to the antique store and get a bowl that I had seen on Sunday.

I love this pattern! It's horizon blue. This bowl was $9 a bit high for that size bowl, but I splurged and bought it.
I also bought a couple more things too......

This opal white bowl was $3.50, I figured that was a good price. This is a mystery bowl tho, I did some research to see what set it belongs to. According to http://www.pyrexlove.com, they don't show a Cinderella set in the opal white. So I am wondering if this had a pattern or color and has just been damaged and now is all white. I cruised through Ebay and I found one for sale identical to this one, the auction only lists a description of the bowl and no new info about it. I love a good mystery, so I will keep digging to see if I can find out more!

This Snowflake blue lid was only $4 and I love this pattern too! I need to find the bottom for it now. It is smaller and marked 943. I need to figure out what this lid goes to.

That's all the new goodies I have for now, I hope to get a package today and will have more to show you all tomorrow!

Have a great day!

I got it!!! And a couple of extra goodies!

Ok, so I went back to the thrift store to hopefully snag the lid I am missing that I thought I had in my hand yesterday. Well, I found the lids I had and they were one size smaller than the one I need. So I looked at the next row and there was the lid I need, woo hoo! It a small chip in it but for a dollar that's ok. So now my #23 casserole is now complete. I decided to quickly scan the shelves figuring I wouldn't fins anything since we were there yesterday. I happened to look down on the bottom shelf and there was two cinderella bowls sitting there. I snatched those things up so fast. They were marked $7.50 each, not too bad right. Well the store was having a discount that was determined by the lowest temp we hit last night. Thankfully, we still are having really cold nights, the temp dropped to 28 degrees. So I got 28% off. I paid $12.37 for the three items. And when I got home, there was a package waiting with a Black Gooseberry Cinderella bowl I won on Ebay. Not a bad day!

Had a fun time yesterday thrift shopping with my lil sis. We hit 5 shops, and found some good deals. We kept finding alot of clear #22, #23, & #24 casseroles. Casseroles seemed to be the theme of the day, Oh and Spring Blossom/Crazy daisy pattern. At the first store I found these great cups for 99 cents each. They all are marked Pyrex on the bottom.

I like this pattern, my mom had the Corelle plates and bowls in this pattern.

We didn't find anything at the second and third stores. At the fourth store we found several items that came home with us and a couple that didn't (Big regret!!) Here are the goodies I bought:

I know it isn't Pyrex, but I also like recipe books and for 50 cents, how could I resist!

Found this tube pan for $2.00. It is two pieces. For christmas I made a cake in my current tube pan which is one piece and really wished I had a 2 piece pan. So, I snagged this pan since the price was right. I like the handles on it too!

A nice Spice of Life patterned Store and See container, colors on the lid are a bit faded but other than that its perfect and it was only a dollar!

An opal white pie plate. Only $4.00. I think this will get alot of use and not just for pies.

That's all I bought at this thrift store. My sister bought a 4 quart Pyrex baking dish for only $8.50. Kohl's sells these new for around $17.99. I think she got a good deal! Hopefully she will bake up some yummy enchiladas in it and invite our family over for dinner!! As I said earlier, I had a regret, I had three Pyrex casserole lids in my hand and then decided not to buy them. Well once I was home I was looking at my casseroles and I need a #683 lid for my #23 casserole. I think the 3 lids I had in my hand were the lids I need. They were a great price too, two of them were marked 50 cents and the other was a buck or buck and a half. If time permits today I am gonna run back there and see if I can snag one. Crossing my fingers!!

At the last store we found a set of Corelle spring blosson/crazy daisy plates, some clear casseroles (didnt buy them) and then I turned and saw this great casserole on the lower shelf. I think I squealed a bit in delight.

A perfect Town and Country divided dish with a divided lid. It was $5.99! SOLD!
Finding this was the end to a perfect day!

A hunting we will Go!

Today I am going to hang out with my sister and hit some Goodwill/Thrift shops. I hope to find some great Pyrex treasures.Wish us luck!!

They have arrived!

My 2 packages arrived today!! Here's what was in the first package:

Two beautiful bowls with the Horizon Blue pattern. I liked this pattern in pics I have seen online, but they are better looking in person. This pattern is now a definate favorite! These bowl are part of a 3 piece set, which means I am missing the middle bowl which is a solid blue. It would be nice to complete this set, so I will be keeping an eye out for the missing bowl. I also wouldn't mind finding some casseroles in this pattern.

I cant show you all what was in the second package, since it is a birthday present for my sister and I dont want her to see it here. Let me tell you it is really pretty and it will be hard for me to give it away. I know she will love it. I will post pics after I give it to her in a few weeks.
Hope you all have a good evening!
