I don't understand......


.....may fascination with this milky white Pryex/Glassware...tattooed baking dishes from the 1960's.....


No we didn't find Nemo for the salt water tank...

But....we did find a huge thrift store where i found another treasure....
this one is round with an avocado flower tattoo and is the perfect size for corn casserole...
This brings my "collection?" up to three pieces ... !!

The store was having a half price sale on clothes.....woohoo....
The male child found 5 pairs of "good" pants with that gently worn look that he likes for $1.25 each.....such a deal...!!

CityBoy didn't find a thing......he said the place smelled....
Well...it did smell......it smelled like "old stuff"....

Enjoy

  6. Don't you just love it when you find a treasure like that. I love shopping at those kind of stores. They say that the old pyrex is much better than what they are making now. I went off to church and on my way home stopped at the local goodwill store to see if they had some books I hadn't read. I found several and a new top for me to! At half price! Have a great Sunday!

  7. I remember those type of dishes at my grandmother's house when I was growing up. She had dozens of them.

  8. Those were the days, but I don't remember ever owning any -- I remember Corning ware, but not Pyrex. Congrats on the finds -- I just love thrift stores.--Inger

  9. Pyrex dishes are one of my favorite kitchen items. From everything I've been reading lately it seems to be making a comeback too. Sorry you weren't able to find anything for your eco-system though.

  13. Love the pyrex dish. We have our favorite thrift store where we get a senior discount on Monday or Wednesday. We find the neatest things.

  14. Pyrex works which is more than you can say for most folks nowadays and darn near all the cookware!
    Recently, I found a "vintage" egg poacher which will be dandy when making eggs benedict.
