Never enough vintage pyrex!

Since my last share about my pyrex collection I have been doing more research and have found that pyrex collecting is a HUGE phenomena! A lot of people are crazy for it. I can understand why. There are so many lovely colours and patterns and it can also be useful. If you are a serious collector and still use your collection for cooking and serving you must treat it with great care for it to remain in good condition. NEVER put it in the dishwasher and be very mindful of scratching the surface inside and out. I recommend not using metal utensils.

I finally found a cabinet to house my collection that keeps it all enclosed and dust free but still showcases it nicely. I don't think I can stop now. I can't resist looking at thrift & antique shops.

Happy Hunting!

Vintage pyrex: growing my collection

A post I shared about my vintage pyrex collection has been a favorite for many and so

 I thought I would update it.  I like how it looks now that I have had my kitchen renovated. 

I finally painted the cupboard that I display it in. 

The evolution of the collection:

Vintage pyrex and glasses in turquoise and pink:

I decided to add some yellow pyrex

In the bottom left corner is a lime green loaf pan. I am now on the hunt for that color as well.

I also collect vintage glasses in turquoise, pink and yellow.

I  found some plastic doilies from the 1950's in the same colors.

I find that I like these colors more and more and am planning to share the other vintage finds that I have in my kitchen on a future post. I would love to hear about your pyrex likes in the comments.
