Who Wore It Better?: Pyrex Edition!

Who Wore it Better - Pyrex Edition!

With TIFF going on in the city what better time to do a trash mag Who Wore it Better? after finding a striking orange, lidless refrigerator dish today for $4.04 at Goodwill.

We've got #503 in one corner from the Daisy Orange collection. Smooth, a striking colour you must see in person and a rarer find.

In the other corner is the #503 yellow primary - a collector favourite. The Daisy Orange has borrowed her lid for the photo op from this classic piece. A piece that has had some loving & will have much more to come!

So...





I think I could have possibly taken better pictures.. take this as NATIONAL ENQUIRER, not US or PEOPLE.

Thrift Score!

Thrift Score!

Check out my latest finds!


After lots of drooling over Van @ Thrift Core's winking owl cookie jar, I found one of my own! I paid $7.99 at Value Village last night out in Victoria Park. Totally loving it!


Check out these retro blender salt & pepper shakers! Perfect colour! Picked up at a Salvation Army in Mississauga. The box came into a unfortunate accident while traveling up to my apartment. I'll spare the details, but a little tape fixed it up so it is barely noticeable. $3.99. NIP! New in bloody package! 1950's.


What do you think of this vintage reindeer glass? It's fantastic! The gold, the pink go so well together. I'm also loving it with the turquoise box & the pink blender salt & pepper shakers.


The turquoise box. 69cents for it & I dealt with the bitchest Value Village worker you've ever seen.

This other glass. I'm on the fence about it. What made me leave the store with it was a woman with a motorcycle helmet had said, "now that is a very cool glass" after seeing me pick it up. Now I'm not so sure.
ED NOT: Don't you love my 77cent paper towel?


With my new love for turquoise & my everlasting love for Federal bowls, $1.99 was an OK price - especially for a mint condition bowl.


I will leave you with a picture of some dice. My newest collection.



Better late than never, joining up with THE THRIFTY GROOVE for THRIFTY THINGS FRIDAY.
