New thrift stores tomorrow

I am going to a few thrift stores that I normally go to on Fridays but I am adventuring out and going to new thrift stores tomorrow! Hopefully the new thrift stores will bring me some luck on Pyrex!
Let's see what tomorrow brings!


P.S. I am going to be driving my father's Jeep so I am counting on bringing home a lot =)

My pyrex is overflowing!

I can not wait to get my china cabinet and also another piece of furniture to display it so I can make more room, my Pyrex is over flowing!!!! And the pictures below are only in my kitchen cupboard...I did not take pictures of my kitchen cabinets!

Some other finds...

I found this at an antique store in NJ. It is a pink 1950's napkin holder! So cute, it was $8.00.
Now, I need to buy some napkins and put them in here!

and then I found these Sour Cream glasses. I always loved the Sour Cream glasses but every time I see them they are in the antique stores and they ask such crazy prices for them! This time I thrifted them!

There was 6 of them but when I took them apart because they were stacked on top of each other 2 of them were already broken =( but at least I have 4! Originally it was a set of 6 for $3.95! 

Thrifted mid century end table and some finds from my friend

Well, at one thrift shop they had some nice furniture! I needed a new"old" end table! The ones that I had were new and I did not care for anymore. I found this awesome end table and had to have it, needless to say I have a 2 door Honda civic and can rarely fit any furniture in my car...however I do try! This end table had to fit, and I made it fit and brought it home with me! It was only $14.99!!! At that price I would tie it to my roof! Isn't it pretty??

I recently told you in a previous post of my friend giving me his moms mid century china cabinet from his storage unit, well he also gave me these 2 mid century elephants, my hubby has loved elephants since he was a little boy, and they are pretty nice!

My friend also gave my husband the little plate on the end table (above) it is a Norman Rockwell plate, my husband loved Norman Rockwell! 

the two in the front are from my friend, and the one in the back is my husbands. His great grandma gave him that one.

Also my friend gave us this mid century ash tray. Even though my husband and I do not smoke, it is a pretty cool ash tray and is nice to the decor! My friend said it was his dad's from the 50's. It sits now on my mid century end table =)

Let's see what else I can bring home from his storage unit this Tuesday!

My Pyrex finds for the last two weeks!

It has been AWHILE since I have found any decent pyrex in the thrift stores. Finally this past Friday I found some! I was relieved =)

I must admit I have been cheating and finding some Pyrex in the antique stores, but for a decent price! I hope this Friday when I go thrifting I will find some more Pyrex, a girl can't have enough =)

I found this pretty little lady in an antique center in NJ. In great condition, this is the baking pan that I needed! It was $12

These two I thrifted! I couldn't believe my eyes when I found the 1.5 cup fridge dish turquoise. This goes to the Baby blue "robins egg" mixing bowl set. No lid, it was 2.95

I also found this Butterfly Gold 1.5 PT for my friend, she needed this one to complete her set in the Butterfly Gold mixing bowls, thrifted for 0.99 cents! I saw it as I was walking down the aisle to check out and saw it in the cart the guy just brought out, I snatched it up quickly!

My prized possession this week! I did not thrift this, but I bought it from this antique store in CT.

The dealer in the store is an awesome lady that I friended and we keep in touch through email. She notifies me when she gets new inventory so that I get first dibs! lucky me! She emailed me to tell me she just got this in and if I wanted it because she knew I was dying to find one! I quickly replied to her email and said yes I will pick it up Friday! She said she would put it in the back with my name on it and tell the women that I will be coming in to pick it up! I went in and picked it up! Wasn't that nice of her?! 

I got it for $26 well worth it to me! I love it.

This one I found at a thrift, isn't this the Horizon Blue pattern? If so this is my second piece in this pattern!

No lid, but in great condition! Got it for $3.95

These two I found at the same antique store in NJ. The blue heaven bowl with two spouts was only $6.25!  I took it right away!  It goes great with my blue heaven dishes =)

I found this baby blue mixing bowl 2.5 qt in another antique shop down the street, this is my first piece in the baby blue mixing bowls, now I have this and the baby blue fridge dish! 

This was $10, not bad! They had a baby pink mixing bowl but I already had it.

I found this at a thrift store, score for me! This is the round casserole 2.5 quart! No lid, I already have this one with the lid but who can't use extras =)

This was $3.95

This I found at a thrift store with the lid!!! In MINT condition, I quickly walked over to it and grabbed it! I had luck in this thrift store for the snowflake pattern. It was only $3.95!!!! What a great deal.

I already have this divided snowflake dish, actually I have about 3! Now I have 4. I can't have enough of this pattern. 

Just thought I would take a photo of some Pyrex =)

Found this also in a thrift. My grandmother has these canisters, large small all sizes! I bought her new ones because her old ones yellowed. So I wasn't sure if she had this size so I bought two for $1.75 each. 

When I checked she had about 4 of them in this size! So she gave me one! I wasn't too fond of it until I cleaned it up..now I like it!

That is all the stuff I got over the past 2 weeks...now that I look at it I found a lot!

Let's see what this Friday brings!

Luck has changed for Pyrex!

Well, I finally went to the thrift stores today and 1 antique store. My favorite thrift store was always loaded with vintage pyrex and then it grew blue like the winter. then finally today I struck some luck with finding some pyrex. I was happy with the treasures that I have found and can't wait to show all of you it over the weekend!
