the rare dish

just got back from the mcc. got a great haul today. i found a cute bolero suit jacket. and a vintage button down jacket that is flared which almost makes me think it is a maternity jacket but whatev, i love it as a regular jacket. also picked up 8 magazines (Elle, LouLou, Flare, etc.) that were released in the last year, two books for Emma, one book for Elijah and...two new Pyrex dishes!

The dish below is from an extremely rare collection--I can barely find any information on it online, that's how rare it is. It's got a little chip so I only paid 50 cents for it, but I just loved the Japanese cherry blossoms on it! The line is called "Pyrex England: Cherry Blossom" (ps. the picture is not of my bowl because I haven't snapped a pic of it yet, but this is one I found online of the same bowl I have).


The other dish I got is below. It's from the Pyrex: Woodland set. It's a mixing bowl which is great because I'm always in need of mixing bowls. Although...I'm not using any Pyrex stuff right now becuase it's all too darn pretty. :) (ps. the picture is not of my bowl because I haven't snapped a pic of it yet, but this is one I found online of the same bowl I have).

the new pyrex piece

isn't this piece super cute? i found it at the mcc for $4. it's not worth gobs of money or anything but pyrex dishes are HUGELY collectible. i needed in on this collection. so, i am constantly scouring the shelves at the mcc and turning over all the dishes that look like they could be pyrex to check for the authentic seal. what am i going to do with these? haha i have no clue! lol

like my green glass collection or every other thing i find at the mcc...i have no idea what i'm going to do with this all. i guess i dream of being able to display all of these things properly some day. in the mean time, my third bedroom/office has turned into a storage room for everything i find while thrifting! i'll be on a hoarders episode in about 50 years.
