Vintage Pyrex, how I do I love thee? Let me count the ways... My sweet little collection is growing up and out of my cabinets and pantry...I should stop buying Pyrex and save for the oh-so-lovely pie cabinet with glass doors and shelves I've seen at AMOL...that stands for Antique Mall of Lumberton! It was founded in March of 2001 and several of my former school teachers and principals now have booths and are dealers...how I LOVE AMOL and CLAM. Oh, CLAM stands for Country Lane Antique Mall and is owned by the same people as AMOL...I find amazing things at both and they are located here in my hometown...sweet. 

I brought this one home today after Mrs. Orr marked it half price...$4= happy!!!

Well. may as well back up a bit...My sweetheart gave me some cash and encouraged me to go-a-thrifting...so, I did! With this trip I came home a happy little Pyrex hunter! I got my very first Pink Gooseberry Pyrex!!!! The dealer gave me a little discount and got the larger 3 of the 4 Cinderella bowls.The largest 2 are in near mint condition...the smaller of the three is a bit faded but Who cares?! I am so proud of them !! I also got a precious pink and gold Pyrex cup and it was on sale too..this invoice earned $5 in AMOL bucks which I turned around and used for..more PYREX!!! 

I have been to both Country Lane Antique Mall and AMOL this weekend and had a wonderful time! 

I used my AMOL bucks to purchase a  sweet Yellow Fridgie in MINT condition for $4.oo and purchased the Butterfly Gold small Cinderella bowl pictured above. I always have my cell phone out and ready in camera mode so I can snap pics of Pyrex I want so I can plan my thrifting around it later on. It's also fun to shoot photos of the different displays with Pyrex because it makes me feel giddy and nostalgic!!

Pink and gold rimmed Pyrex cup, sweet...

Today I scored this MINT condition #043 in White Snowflake with Turquoise...my FIRST 043 at $3!!!! It was half price and did I mention in MINT condition?!

My lovely Pink Gooseberry Cinderella bowls...worth every penny!!!

My adorable little Yellow Refrigerator dish...mint condition w/o a lid :)

I stopped in last Saturday and found this!!! A No. 78 Pyrex cradle for $1.99 ...wonderful!!!

A couple of weeks ago I scored this large Square Flowers/Verde casserole with lid and cradle for $8.25...yes, only $8.25!!!!!

The trip before I bought the Pink Gooseberry, I found this Town & Country Cinderella bowl, near mint condition and happy to be with this one I bought on my second flea market trip in early June!

I should try to blog regularly because "back-blogging" about my Pyrex collecting is a bit much!

My collection looked like the above pic week before last...its about to spill out of the top of my pantry...my clear vintage Pyrex is on the bottom shelf of said pantry along with many extra lids for Pyrex-to-be...

More of my collection from the left side view...I love the two larger White Gooseberry Cinderella bowls! They were a flea market find, cheap, and MINT !!!

And, here is my first eBay Pyrex win/purchase. I won't bid on/buy on eBay or Etsy unless it is a really great deal. I got this small Spring Blossom Green mixing bowl for $10 and that includes the shipping. I began my collection the day before Mother's Day with my very first flea market trip...I spent about $150 and scored my first vintage Pyrex pieces and lots of vintage sheets and linens. I also got some pink Depression glass too...it was a great day ! 

An AMOL purchase for my blossoming SBG collection!

Dear Mrs. Hutchins, my English Honors teacher, gave me a great deal on my first Butterprint piece! She marked it down and told me she'd do the same on any other Pyrex in her booths!!! It's sooo sweet! I need to stumble upon lots of Fridgie lids because out of the 3 I have only one has a lid...

I'm going to try to focus more on my blogging and less on Facebook and Pinterest...I think it's the best way to record my collecting and connect with others who share my passions and interests...right now my life is about simplicity, whole living, and all-things-vintage and happy!!!
