PYREX!!!!!

Hello Fellow Thrifters and Friends,

    Well I hit the jack pot today at the swap meet, and I couldn't wait till my Saturday treasure hunt post to show you all my treasures...

Here is a picture of everything I found today...


The pink and reds I found at one stall, and when I asked how much the lady wanted she said $40.00 for all of them. I decided that I didn't want to spend that much, so I walked away. As I was walking around at other booths I just couldn't get those Pyrex out of my mind. I asked Mr Joyful Thrifter if I could offer her $20.00, and he said sure! I went back and she said no to my $20.00 offer, and said she would take $30.00. I then counter offered her with $25.00, and she said she had to ask her mother in law. As I was waiting for her to finish her phone call another lady walks up to offer her the same $25.00, and I assured her that I already placed that offer. She was a little upset that I had swooped in on her treasures, but I was so glad to have gotten there first. The stall owner could not get a hold of her mother in law so she just said fine just take them for $25.00. 

Here are some close ups of my new treasures...





Oh happy happy heart!!! They are so pretty.

Smiles,
The Joyful Thrifter

  8. The red covered dish was my mother's favorite. If she still cooked I am sure we would be seeing it every week. Maybe I should ask for it in her will?

    How dare the other person try to move in on your treasure!
