Pyrex--the quest for the nested bowls
It was all about pyrex today. From mixing pancakes for breakfast to searching for vintage pieces at the antique store after lunch.
About ten years ago a co-worker at my first "real" job gave me a nesting set of orange pyrex bowls. They were practical and sort of neat so I kept them. Now it appears I am very hip. I don't have the fancy turquoise pattern and my bowls are smaller than most but, hey, they were free. And now I'm including them in my (almost daily) month-o-kitchen-stuff-I-love posting series. These are great bowls if you have a 2 year old who likes to mix. They're nice and heavy so they don't tip over.
...awkward transition.....So this afternoon I spent an enjoyable few hours antiquing with my Craft Mafia pals. Thanks for hosting, Tamie!! I was going to get out of there for $0.75 but in the last 10 minutes of shopping, I...ummm....managed to spend a whole lot more than that. I'll share the loot later this week. The other gals scored some really great pyrex! 
I found the mushroom pyrex at the thrift store several months ago for $5. It's a nice big size for a salad.
I'm not sure how to end this post so why don't we close with a cute photo of my kid? Ok?
The "noculars" grandma made have been a big hit. Perfect for "looking for bugs."
Cute picture-love the "noculars"

I love Pyrex. I collect (loosely---I haven't been antiquing in a couple of years) the solid pink ones. The patterned pink-and-white ones are easier to find, but solid pink in non-scratched-to-bits condition is more difficult. I had three, and then the kids broke one.

Always end a post with a picture of Biscuit! I am high on my Pyrex finds..too bad I need to scrub them before taking pictures. I had fun--despite the profuse sweating!

I think if you were married in the 70s you might own a huge collection. I will see if my mom is getting rid of any of hers when she goes through her kitchen.
