Spring Blossom Pyrex Love

It's Thursday again..my favorite day of the week. I get to see the wonderful vintage things that everyone has. So fellow bloggers..lets all skedaddle over to
Suzanne at Coloradolady and see what everyone is showing today..I can't wait to see.

This beautiful,wonderful set of Spring Blossom Pyrex was a total surprise gift. To say I was stunned a bit is an understatement. I've always loved Pyrex..any and everything Pyrex makes,
I think is wonderful. However, I've always collected other things..never really trying to collect all the bright, beautiful colors and patterns of Pyrex. *sighs...I believe that has now changed. This wonderful set was gifted to me by a lovely lady named Pam. She is my husbands physical therapist and also a sweet friend. When Pam gifted me with this, I was quite overwhelmed..I know how much some Pyrex costs.....but Pam said she had collected for years and was overflowing with it..and she wanted me to have this as my first set on my way to a collection.
The box says...Pyrex Compatibles

  1. Oh, I'm so glad to know what this pattern is called. I found a piece of this at Goodwill. I passed it up because it wasn't really something I NEEDED right then :)

  4. One of the first things I bought for my first apartment was a set of small nesting Pyrex casseroles. I still use them.

  8. I've always loved that pattern! Well, I love any kind of Pyrex, actually! That's a great set, and such a great gift to you. I always look at Pyrex at thrift and antique stores, and they're always so expensive. I'm sure you'll enjoy them for a long time to come!

  9. Oh what a treat! I have two of the green bowls with white flowers, one medium-sized and one small that I bought at a thrift store a few years ago. I love them! And I have a gravy bowl (oddly enough) and plate that are white with the green trim, that I got at an antique store recently.

    thanks for leaving the comment over at my blog as well!

  12. I have been drooling over a set at the flea market that is very similar. It is blue and white. I may just have to make it mine this weekend.

    What a wonderful friend you have in Pam. And what a great gift!

  13. All the new, modern cookwares are nice, but nothing beats a Pyrex dish. You really have some nice pieces.

  16. Wonderful gift!
    Ohh, while I was in Florida i found a great Pyrex piece at a thrift store, but alas, I had only carry-on luggage and not room for the bowl!

  17. Great Pyrex collection! I love how they are still usable today - they seem to stand up much better than anything modern!
    Cheers!

  18. Hi,CC,
    What a wonderful present and a great way to start a collection. I did not realize pyrex had gotten so expensive until I was in an antique store a while back and saw some pieces there. They truly have become collectible pieces. I have some pyrex that I received many years ago and still use. Have a great rest of the week. Vicki

  19. Wow that's quite a gift. I see pyrex all the time in the second hand stores but I have no room for it!
    So nice to collect stuff you can actually use!

  20. Okay, I'm old. I mean vintage. I have that exact set and have been using it almost daily for 33 years. I also have had the blue set which I bought from my sister about 25 years ago when she was moving. I just wanted some 'cheap' bowls at the time. Pyrex lasts a lifetime! No wonder they are so popular. And good looking, too! :)

  21. {{gasp}}{one small tiny tear}

    Those are the same mixing bowls my mother used when I was still at home.
    She always mixed her Sunday cake in them but didn't like to use the big one because it took up so much space in the drain. :)

    Thank you CC.
