{Thrifty Thursday} More Pyrex and Corning Ware!


Well lookie here! I'm just starting out with posting my thrifting finds...and I was tagged as "Thriftaholic of the Week" by Morgan from Meet Virginia. Go check it out, along with the weekly thrift linky party!


It was another good week for thrifting! And yes, I go thrifting weekly, sometimes more! How else would I be able to share all my fabulous finds? I'm actually always on the lookout for vintage Pyrex, and sometimes I really luck out!

In the way of Pyrex this week...I picked up this lovely Town & Country oval divided serving dish. I just love it! It's in fantastic condition too, which is a bonus.


Now I use my Pyrex for cooking and mixing, I love the stuff. But I also was raised using Corning Ware as well. I'm a sucker for a beautiful set, plus the casserole dishes with lids are just so handy to have around! So of course I had to pick up these Spice 'O Life dishes...


The top one says "Le Persil La Sauge", which in French means parsley and sage (and no, I didn't know that, I looked it up). And the bottom one says "La Marjolaine" which is marjoram in French. I've already cooked with them; there is nothing like good Corning Ware in the kitchen!

My last purchase of the week is a hoot. No, really...it's an owl and a bank! It says "Be Wise, Save". Too fun. I'm thinking about painting it a lovely cream color and putting it in my office. Or maybe he'll stay his fun brown and orange, with blue eyes.


Well those were my finds for this week! What fun stuff did you come across?
