Pyrex Love

Pyrex...marries my love of vintage w/my extreme need for function.
Now...I'm not talking about the clear, utilitarian kind we all have in our kitchens (although those things are important), but the beautiful, wildly colorful pieces of decades passed. It is wonderful to me that everyday pieces can be lovely AND have a purpose in my life. It's a win-win!




My collection...includes some pretties from my grandma's kitchen and a few I've been given as gifts. The little red squarish bowls are very close to my heart...whenever we'd visit my grandma...we'd always eat our morning cereal out of them. Now they live at my house! :)

This set is from the hubs...it's displayed all the time. So pretty...like the inside of an artichoke, I think...

I seriously make use of my collection every day. These lovelies hold: candy & goodies (yumm!) and treats for our little furry friends.

As always...there are some other tempting colors, patterns of Pyrex that I'm coveting (strong word, I know...but it's true).  Etsy...go here...has so many gorgeous examples...it was hard to pick just a few...




*Ohmygoodness!!! Nesting bowls galore...polka-dots, flowers, and snowflakes. :) The last pic combines 2 of my loves: Mad Men and Pyrex...*sigh...*
