Finally - Pyrex!

The Pyrex/vintage thrifting scene has been so dire in Toronto over the past couple of months, that I thought I was going to have to resort to digging into the Yardsale Snoop vaults and reprint posts from more fruitful days. Well, my fortunes have changed...
Here's what I found at the Value Village near my school. A Daisy Cinderella bowl for $3.99...
A gorgeous pink bowl for $5.99 (sorry that the photo is out of focus)...
And another $5.99 bowl in a soft, buttery yellow colour. All bowls were in almost mint condition. Fortune favours the brave, or at least the patient.
I also found this funky little Fire King bowl for $1.99. The clerk had just put it out and I dived down like a WWII bomber.
Keep on truckin',

  3. I know what you mean...I had maybe 2 or 3 good weeks of thrifting all summer in Toronto. The rest of the time was a bust :( But the pieces you found are all lovely. Is the buttery yellow one a 443? It's probably part of the Town & Country set.
