Here is another episode of Left Behind Pyrex. On the show today is expensive Pyrex, and a really special guest of dish washered Pyrex. I have left quite a bit of Pyrex behind lately, and looking through the pictures does not make me regret not buying any of them (phew)
This little guy was being sold for $7.99, and since I already have him I was not going to pay that much to bring him home.
I don't even know how much this one was but it is my least favorite print, so it was not going to come home either way.
This ugly little brown bowl was $5.99 which seemed ridiculous to me. By the way it is still at the store waiting for someone silly to come and buy him.
Another ugly print. This is just not a happy pattern at all. And the one below I also have.
A very sad dish washered fridgie for $2.99, which was not that bad but he is very sad on the other side. He too is still at Goodwill.
Two lovelies from france, but they were $14.00 and just not a pattern that I love.
I have so many of these it is not even funny, and for $6.99 not worth bringing home.
Found any Pyrex lately that you DID bring home? I hope you all are having a great Monday.
I am so happy your lovely comment led me to your gorgeous blog!!! I have been leaving a lot of Pyrex behind recently too, when we moved house I realised I had way too much and sold off some so now I only buy pieces I am absolutely mad about!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this pyrex obsession. And I call myself a thrifter? Funny, I don't see much of it in this area. They are nice though if you find the right pieces.
ReplyDeleteI have clear pyrex bowls. I love love them. I make microwave peanut brittle and they are the only bowls that can take the heat without cracking.
Hope you're having a great week.
I haven't bought Pyrex in a long time. I have so much that I love and I use what I have or some of it and the rest is enough for me. Still the fridgies are the one's that call my name since I use them to organize things on my desk and craft areas if they aren't too expensive I rescue them!
ReplyDeletehugs,

I think the two you are holding are "Iris" from England. (Maybe also referred to as "blue iris"). We seem to get a fair number of British Pyrex here in Canada. I don't find the patterns as pleasing as the North American ones - although I do like Iris better than the others. I did have some of the it - which was gifted to someone else - who does really like it. You have a lovely collection
ReplyDeleteIt appears we share an opinion about the (over)price of Pyrex in thrift stores. In our area, I've quit shopping Goodwill as their prices seem ridiculous to me. I guess they do have 1/2 price days once a month, but I never seem to make it on those days...
ReplyDeleteI really DO have enough Pyrex. I've pretty much confined my purchases to one particular pattern - unusual pieces therein (and for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the pattern right now!
