More Pyrex Old and New

I was really excited to find the Zodiac casserole with lid and stand on Ebay....

The price was alright, and you know how that works....sometimes when in the middle of  a Pyrex drought one is willing to pay a bit more....

 The listing did say that there was a chip in the lid and I was willing to live with that....

but I just hate it when sellers 'miss' big flaws in vintage Pyrex....

Can you see that really big scratch? Yes the big white scratch!!!

YIKES! Yes I wrote the seller, but you know how it is....

That takes care of the new Pyrex....

Let's move on to the old Pyrex! These 2 sweeties I recovered from the depth of my under stairs wardrobe...

 If I'm not mistaken this is the Constellation divided casserole with divided lid and double warmer.

The warmer still has candles jammed in tight...red ones. I got it a couple of years ago at the Anprim Flea about an hour west of Ottawa. Maybe longer I don't know, it was one of the most boring road ever!
Only 4 or 5 interesting boots, lotsa paperbacks and video tapes.

Last but not least....Here's one I really cherish; it was given to me by my good friend Céline (not Dion). It was her mother's and she remembers many saturday night with snacks served in the Snack Server!

I hope one day to find the rocking holder!

 I love the black crosses, this is sooooo cool at Halloween!

Time for my nightly veggie garden visit!

I started harvesting beans and cucumbers.

They are the best :)

 

All thrifted out....

Is there such a thing as being all thrifted out??? I don't think so!

I went to Montreal to visit my friend Celine (not Celine Dion). She knows that I don't have all the thrifting ressources possible since I don't live in Montreal anymore. So the girls, they went-a-thrifting!

That is actually a real bad pic! Out of focus, with Bob taking a bath...

We hit Le Chainon,Value Village,Fripeprix renaissance, Salvation army,a little funky Green shop and a garage sale (on a Tuesday?). We wanted to see more but one was closed for vacation and the church bazzar was held Mon,Wed and Fri...

This morning I feel 85 with arthritis! My calves are burning and I can barely bend my feet! But I digress.

I found 3 Corelle saucers for the cats, a relish(?) dish , a brand new soy candle christmasy scent , a paperback , a silk scarf leopard print, a vintage tablecloth (really cute) and a funky retro vase. And all for under 12$. COOL!

A note on the vase: It came from the really strange tuesday garage sale...I was looking at their stuff and spotted the vase (really dirty vase), I was looking for the price, when a woman whispered in my ear 'pas cher'- not expensive. She scared me so much I nearly dropped the vase! And she really,really smelled of booze in the middleo the afternoon. I bought the vase and went one my merry way. I hope her hangover is mild this morning.

My friend Celine (not Celine Dion) gave me a really nice Pyrex for my collection, the snack server. Her mother would use it to serve peas and potatoes. She says it had a rack (long lost) but I was not the usual snack server rack, it was in black iron with handles on the side....interesting

Well I hear thrifting calling! I.E: the church basement...see you later alligator
