Dishwashered Pyrex A-Plenty (sadness)

Another weekend come and gone. It honestly felt shorter than that for me, since I worked on Saturday - a crime, in my opinion. The weather was excellent though, so I did manage to get out to some rummage sales. Some were good, and some were bad (really, really bad - baby clothes and made in China junk galore! YUCK!). I found a lot of great things, but couldn't buy them either due to damage, or price - the prices were out of control! So was the damage. I found several pink Gooseberry Pyrex bowls, and all of them had terrible dishwasher damage - though Goodwill was still asking $4.99 for them. I also found some especially adorable made in Japan figurines that were severely chipped, or missing limbs. Anyway, here's what I could buy in one piece:

 The world's cutest deer. Seriously. $2.00!

 Christmas caroler bell and an adorable bunny.

.25 cents at a rummage. The guy I bought it from called it stupid junk. Poor pumpkin!

 
Vintage monster Halloween mask in the original box. I think it's a vampire, but it looks more like a glam rocker!

Nifty gold drink caddy. Now I just need to find more of this same glass to finish the set...


 Frosted Libbey glasses. I love the stripes and the horses!

Esso tiger glass, Hazel Atlas Studebaker glass, Libbey flower glass, and an umarked sailboat glass.

 
Vintage early American Old Spice mug - at first I thought it was faded, but I guess that's supposed to be how it looks. It was in the coffee mug section at Goodwill for .50 cents.


York Peanut Butter glass.

 Pyrex in the original box! Is it Christmas??

I bought this at a rummage sale from a nice woman who's mother recently passed away. She was trying to clear out some of her things. I got the box of Pyrex for $5.00! It's missing a bowl, but I'm sure it will turn up one of these days.

 I took some pics of the little pamphlet that was included. 



 
 Mmm... turquoise..


Colonial Mist Pyrex 401 bowl - not my favorite pattern, but for .99 cents I couldn't resist.

 Cute little Baby Ben Westclox alarm clock.

Holt Howard coffee mug from 1970 (love the handle), and a Glasbake mug - they had the matching baking pan, but it was chipped. I'm not the biggest fan of Glasbake, so even though I see it consistently, I really never buy it.

Pyrex creamer and bowl.

Pyrex Butterfly Gold pitcher (filled with Lemonade, yum)

Finally found the Primary 401 blue and 402 red together at a rummage sale - $7.00 for both, since it was half price day! And both in great, shiny shape! Nothing like a complete set of Pyrex!

Theodore glass - still need Simon, and a Mickey glass.

Rose depression glass candy jar. $2.99 at Goodwill - there's one tiny little chip on the edge of the cover, but it's on the inside.

Aluminum crumb sweeper and pan.

Probably my best Pyrex find this weekend: a promotional Pyrex Brides Casserole dish with the cradle. Guess how much... Go on, guess..... $1.50!!

 Fire King 'Candle Glow' pattern casserole dish. Too bad no lid!

 Cute red syrup dispenser.

Really pretty rose patterned plate. It cost me a dime. Seriously. I think it's crazy how some rummage sales are priced like antique stores, and others are dirt cheap!

Back of the plate..

 Butterfly Gold Pyrex.

Rubens lamb cookie jar and a Napco stork nursery planter. 

McCoy wishing well planter. It was full of ugly fake flowers, so I cleaned it out. Looks much better like this. I cut myself on a stupid (deadly sharp) floral spike too. Ouch!

Another baby boots nursery planter (bottom). I don't care, I think they are cute!
