Oh Me, Oh My!





OK, I'm going to try to type this without too many heart palpitations and too much perspiring.  I went to ONE garage sale this weekend on Friday night {hey, it's what REALLY cool people do on Friday night}.  Folks, I hit the mother load.  See these cute little Pyrex refrigerator dishes?  25 cents...not each, but for ALL three plus one lid!




I nearly collapsed right then and there {gulp} and then I saw more.




A small loaf-size dish and two more small dishes WITH CHICKENS ON THEM...$2.50 for the whole set.  We are talking mint condition too.





And then there was even more.





This one has a chip on it's lid, but it's no big deal...um, 10 cents people.  But wait, there's more.





This is probably about a 1qt dish with a lid...50 cents.  Pyrex just kept appearing and there was this shiny glow around the table as if the pieces were beaming down from heaven.  Or maybe it was the lack of oxygen to the brain because at this point I think I was practically hyperventilating.




This one is a different pattern but I really don't care because it's still aqua and it's still birds and it's still cheap...75 cents.




And the last piece is sort of a rosy coral colored casserole, probably about 1-1 1/2 qt...50 cents.  




I am not the only one that found this flipping amazing!!  Really, this is all it takes to make me happy.  A boat load of Pyrex all for under $5.00.  This isn't even all I found at this sale.  I'll save it for next time.  I think I need a nap now.

YOu really did hit the mother load! I grew up with the Pyrex with the chickens on it - my mom and my grandma both had sets. I haven't seen them in years. Cool!

Great find. I love garage sales. The only thing better is moving into my Grandmothers house and finding lots of pyrex and old dishes!

Sweeeeet! That is my favorite Pyrex with the chickens on it- I think it's called Butterprint. I can't wait to see what else you found!

I don't even know what to say, other then you are one LUCKY woman!!! ALL those dishes throw me back to my mother's kitchen when I was a little girl. I probably would have bought them for memories alone. Congrats on your find...enjoy!
