Currently visiting family & did some thrifting, here are a few finds. Have a couple more, but I'll post them when I get home. Just a couple deer. Each $2.99.
Passed on a Fire King bowl for $30, a set of D-handle of (6) Fire King mugs for $150 & a beautiful set of owl glasses for $40. This was at the Holland Antiques & Collectibles shop. I don't really like it there.
I ran into a fellow Pyrex collector. I didn't know her, I just knew because she was picking through the Pyrex when I got there & was telling her husband.. "I'm just gonna get this one (she was settling for a 401 Old Orchard, ew!). I already have a Spring Blossom Green bowl set at home." There was a Spring Blossom Green bowl, 444 for $7.99, near mint. I had passed up on it the night before when I brought home 3 of my Pyrex finds from that location. I said to my niece, "luckily we came here yesterday & cleaned the place out for all the good pieces of Pyrex!"
Have you ever run into fellow Pyrex collectors at the thrifts? Missed out on a good piece?
Love the mama deer with her babies on the chain. Maddie has the pink bunny mama with her babies, a scary blue mouse with her babies, and a poodle with her babies. She wanted me to ask you if she could have your deer:-). Have fun!

If I ever want to get rid of it, I'll let you know... or if you have any Pyrex or salt & pepper shakers to trade!
DeleteI don't think I'd like the Holland Antique & Collectible Shop either
ReplyDeleteNo, probs not. Especially since they have a really crappy turnover for stock! There has been stuff in there for the past 3 years!
DeleteI think I only once encountered another collector, but I don't know if she was a real collector or just had good taste. Ha! I saw her loading up on Pyrex at a thrift store, but she also had tons of other kitchen stuff. Maybe she was just outfitting her kitchen for cheap?
ReplyDeletePossibly!
DeleteOh I love the deer! You are just trying to make me jealous after my deer post this week I'm sure!

Maybe just a little...
DeleteYup, and i love looking in their carts to see what I just missed iut on...
ReplyDeletethat deer with the babies is so cute!
ReplyDeleteew is RIGHT about old orchard. i really don't like that pattern.
I recently found a cute deer item too! I've never really run into another collector of Pyrex. And meh on the Old Orchard. Saw one tonight painfully overpriced. I didn't understand.
