Woodland Mixing Bowls

I picked these up at a local estate sale this past week. The original lure of this estate sale was the matching casserole dishes.  The were complete in the original box with the lids included.  Unfortunately there was a large turn out for this sale.  I saw them walk out of the house while I was still waiting in line to get in!  When I did get in I found these still tucked away in a kitchen cabinet.  Initially I was going to pass on them.  That's when the lady in charge of pricing cut the price nearly in half.  So home they came with me.  They are three mixing bowls in the Woodland pattern.  The largest is a 2.5 L (403) in brown.  The medium is a 1.5 L (402) in beige.  And the smallest is 750 Ml (401) again in brown.  

Butterfly Gold Casserole

This was another pre-Christmas purchase.  It is a 1.5 Qt (043) casserole dish in Butterfly Gold.  It is an interesting piece because it features both variations of the pattern.  The casserole dish itself is white on gold.  While the lid is gold on white.  Upon unpacking the shipping materials I found the dish in the original box.  The price tag still attached.  It originally retailed for $3.88.  Another piece that reminds me of childhood.

Turquoise Snowflake

It has been well over two months since my last post.  The holiday season got in the way. And then there is my fledgling business that I have to nurture.  That is in addition to my full-time job.  With all that going on I have not stopped the search for vintage Pyrex.

Shortly before Christmas I found a 2.5 Qt white on turquoise snowflake casserole dish (045).  I was able to take jalapeno popper dip (the website I got the recipe from features it in a vintage Fire King bowl...boo!) in it to my family Christmas party.  The dip was a hit as well as the bowl.  Last week I stumbled upon a smaller matching casserole dish at a local estate sale.  It is a 1.5 Qt white on turquoise snowflake (043).  I am still on the hunt for the rarer color scheme of this pattern.  That is the white on charcoal.  I'm keeping my eyes peeled at the local thrift stores and estate sales.
