Who Loves Pyrex?

This chick!  Lately Pyrex has been popping up all over the place, and I'm all a twitter (not the social thing, that confuses me) about it.  Denver had  a lot to show me (shown here) and the Grandma made it rain Pyrex which I posted about here.  Now it is time for my favorite little thrift shop to represent.  Check it out!

A few days before I decided to buy it, this Spring Blossom #2 casserole had a ridiculous price tag on it so I set it down and walked away.  When I went back, it was still there but it had the right color sticker for that days half off sale, so I jumped at it!  This Buffet Twins (what a strange name for this gold pattern) has a wicked rust stain, but the price was right, so I thought I would gamble on it.  Does anyone have any tips on getting rid of the yucky stain?  I will try Bar Keepers Friend, but am open to other suggestions.
Normally I wouldn't have purchased these Woodland bowls because it isn't a pattern that appeals to me, but I have found that I sell a lot of the neutral colors in my booth.   It is beginning to grow on me, that's for sure.  

This is it from this store for now.  It is strange, but I have gone in twice this week and gone out twice with nothing!  I know, I was a little bummed by it too.  I might have even shed a little tear, sniff sniff sniff. I'm not giving up though!  I can't considering how cool the booth looks now.  

The Mom wrote, "It's a Mod, Mod, World" and a little Christmas list on the chalk board wall and we did a little rearranging.  I wish I would have remembered my real camera because this cell phone pic isn't doing it justice.  Again, I'm working on the table cloth thing. : )  What do you guys think?  

I'm going to keep it short and sweet because I want to have some time to go poke around on everyone's blogs!  

Now for a "better late than never" link up at The Colorado Lady.

  1. Great finds! I am on the fence about the Woodland bowls too. I normally just collect pink and turquoise but something about the simple and clean pattern of the Woodland appeals to me. I almost bought pieces twice this week! It was mainly a storage issue that stopped me.

    1. Bah, the storage issue is such a pain! I would be a hoarder if I didn't keep such a close eye on it! The Woodland bowls would be so good for the fall... I haven't decided yet if I'm going to keep them or sell them...

  2. You were lucky finding these Pyrex dishes at a fair price. It is really getting popular again and rather costly.

  3. Coming over from Colorado Lady. I keep running across Pyrex at the thrift stores but it is always yucky looking. I think there's some rule about not putting it in the dishwasher or something like that? I sort of like the Woodlands pattern for Thanksgiving.

    1. Yeah, the rule is to never ever ever put it in the dishwasher! It ruins the finish on it and makes neurotic collectors like me cry a little... Thanks so much for coming by!

  5. Me me me!!! I love Pyrex :) Spring Blossom is one of my favorite patterns! I swear by Bar Keeper's...for real! As soon as I see my bottle getting close to empty, I run out to get another bottle. It truly is "my" friend.

  6. Seeing your booth reminded me of the table we had just like yours for awhile in our booth. The biggest drawback was the wasted space under the tablecloth. I liked the table space but eventually switched it out for more shelving. I still struggle with finding room for more items. I'm constantly bringing new and taking older stuff home. On another note, I use magic erasers for almost all stains.

    1. You are so right! Ugh, the wasted space! I am hoping to had some new shelving soon. And I have never used a magic eraser...I'll have to try that. Thanks for stopping by!!!
