Spring has Sprung and the Pyrex hunt has begun!

The birds are singing and Spring has Sprung,
Off to find Pyrex, oooh I'm on the run,
It's hard to find these days that's for sure,
But for my fix, it's the only cure...

So I'm no a poet....definitely not a poet.  Lately I've been telling all my customers how hard it is to find those elusive Pyrex pieces!  Boy I'm not kidding!  All my little hidden spots are bone dry...gah!

So, I've had to expand a little and thankfully it was easy to find other vintage treasures I fell in love with. Here's a few.

 My new pink phone...I have a creme one too...tried to sell it...got anxiety and decided to keep it! Lol
 
I love this Spice of Life set, I've now found all the pieces to match it!

 Are you kidding?  I am so becoming Betty Crocker just to wear this...

One of my customers loves cookie cutters..so I picked this up for her....drat...now I'm addicted.

Oh you just passed out?  So did I when I snapped these up...love my customers who want to sell their extra's. xo

Here's my collection (part of) today....I think now I have the entire set of Garland and Daisy and most of the Friendship.  Well, a couple more pieces...and then I'll need doubles of course.
Found this little jug at an antique sale..again tried to bring myself to list it but I just can't!  It'll be perfect for Ella's 4th birthday party, vintage Carnival theme.

 Ok, am I crazy or are these fricken ADORABLE! Love....love...double love.  Made in Japan tea set.
And an elusive Pyrex promo casserole..."Spices"  went to a good home with a friend. 



PRETTY UP YOUR LIFE WITH SOME PYREX!

Recently I was surfing the net for Pyrex...(imagine that!!!) and came across a pic of a vintage hutch dripping with delicious Pyrex treasures.  I drooled.

So, I decided my kitchen cupboards just weren't cuttin' the mustard anymore..I was on the hunt for Gramma's hutch.  And, within days, Craigslist provided me with one for $65 bucks! Woooo hooooo!


Here it is...a bit disassembled getting it ready to paint.  Love the curvy bits...who wouldn't?




Here's the lovely painted...




AND OMG HERE IT IS WITH PYREX ON IT......Y U M.

Within minutes of this pic being taken, it was bombarded with more Pyrex.  It loves it.

Just waiting for my pale green glass knobs to finish it off...just oh so lovely.
