I may have mentioned in the past that I'm having a bit of a love affair with Pyrex - or versions of it - and to be honest, I can't see it ending any time soon. I ambled along to Chesterfield flea market yesterday and it was packed, both with people and vintage and antiques. It was a lovely surprise to meet Debs of Two Bones and a Bagel and I added another Enid Blyton to my collection from her lovely stall!
Pyrex being the unbelievably useful stuff that it is my eye is tuned in to spotting it. I noticed these latest finds on the basis of the colours, and only then did a little squee of joy when I saw that they are good old low-thermal-expansion borosilicate glass!
Roses again! This one is Arcopal and the others are Pyrex.
At £3 for all three with a free chinwag and a dog biscuit for Bea thrown in we both left very pleased!
Have a wonderful Friday,
these pyrex bowls are so cute! great finds =)
ReplyDeleteby the way, i know i emailed you about joining creatives unite, but i think i might have to put that off for awhile =( ... i always work thursday nights so it's not the best time for me haha. BUT, i do create DIY things on a weekly (even daily!) basis so i guess i'm still doing it in spirit. =P
You can take part any time of the week so please don't worry! You can tweet me to let me know what you've been up to,using #creativesunite or post photos to my Facebook page so everyone can see them. Have fun creating :) x
DeleteCute! I never knew Pyrex could be so pretty. But where do you keep all these treasures you are always buying?? You should do a blog post on household organisation and storage, I must have lots to learn! x
ReplyDeleteAh, my finds are mostly stored away (and every now and again taken out and admired) as I'm in the process of saving to move back out of the family home, and have very little to kit out a house from scratch. I even have an inventory list to prevent over cluttering! x
DeleteThe blue is just lovely, absolutely adore all three though - what bargainous finds and £3 for the lot! :-)
ReplyDeleteJem xXx
I'm rather fond of the blue, I'm sure it's going to get a lot of use because it's a handy size. x
DeleteI think I love Pyrex so much because it reminds me of Mum, in the kitchen, cooking! She had lots of Pyrex dishes, she swore by them! Those dishes are lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right Ada, my mum still uses hers regularly so I reckon it's a good idea to buy Pyrex if it can last another forty years! x
DeleteWow! I love your Pyrex finds! The blue one is so beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Meredith. x
DeleteOh wow, I love the peachy coloured rose one! So pretty!

Thanks Sophie, it's the pink one that got me all excited when I spotted it! x
DeleteGreat finds! I think these are my favourite so far!
ReplyDeleteThank you Claire x
DeleteGreat finds! I love these - it reminds me of the my Grandma, who always used to cook and serve in dishes like these.
ReplyDeleteMine too! My mum still uses hers regularly so they hold good memories for me, too :) x
DeleteOOOH lovely finds. I picked up a lovely pyrex bowl last time I visited Chesterfield flea market.
ReplyDeleteDebs from two bones and a bagel is lovely isn't she, I met her at the last Mary's marvellous vintage fair unbeknown to me I had been reading her blog for a while, it is a very small world.
Hope you have had a great weekend, maybe I will see you at the next St. Mary's on the 8th December - be sure to pop by and say hello, hopefully little Adele will be with me
: )
Clearly it's the place to go for Pyrex! Yes Debs was lovely, and so was her stall, and I am indeed hoping to pop in at Mary's on the 8th. Congratulations on getting a stall and see you there! x
Deleteso pretty, and a bargain! nice one!

Who knew Pyrex could be so pretty!! Great finds, I'll have to look out for some rather than getting boring clear glass ones. x
