Love this post, I collect vintage pyrex too! Growing up my family had the turquoise butterprint mixing bowls and so I had to find my own. I have lots of other pieces but the butteprint pattern will always be my favorite. I also collect old sterling and silverplate- it’s nice to use when I’m feeling fancy but not fancy enough to bring out Grandma’s silver.

I thought about you yesterday when I was at the thrift store and saw an adorable 8-piece pyrex set (little turquoise roosters and other designs on the side) for $20. I don’t think there are many pyrex collectors around here, because I frequently see it.

Like many crafters I “collect” fabric and other supplies. I always have some purpose in mind when I purchase it, but it usually just ends up unused in my stash. I would love a Pyrex collection–my Goodwill never seems to have any though.

You know I love this. Your collection is sweet!! And I love the whole display. We had a pyrex tragedy this summer – my husband dropped my favorite yellow bowl – the big mixing bowl – and shattered it on our friends’ driveway. I am still in mourning. That’s what I get for letting it outside the house.

I think it’s a sight to behold – and I mean that in a good way. Those bowls and baking dishes just make me happy! I can see why you have so many of them!

Love your Pyrex! I don’t collect Pyrex for myself but I buy it every chance I get for a friend who does. Having said that if I ever come across a turquoise set of bowls I am keeping them for myself!

I collect Fireking Jadeite. I have about 160 pieces and it’s not easy to find and it’s not a cheap hobby. For cheap I collect Milkglass which I love and display in my craft room.

I have a frog collection. Most of them I have bought myself, but there is one from my mother made out of granite & one from my son (& hubby) that I got for mother’s day last year. I do limit it, though. Any frog that I collect has to be able to be wiped down with a clorox wipe or it doesn’t stay in my house. Previously, I had them displayed above my kitchen cabinets (I had about 2-2 1/2 feet between the tops & the ceiling) but we moved and now there are soffets (that annoying empty wall above cabinets that usually hides ugly duct work & sometimes nothing at all) so I can’t display them at all. Right now they are in my craft room, but are majorly displaced because of our puppies. I only have room right now for half of my 20 frogs but hopefully by next week I can get them all out again.

I have a whole shelf of the blue flower Corningware in my dish garage. It is some of mine, my grandmother’s, my aunt’s and my mom’s. I wouldn’t part with one piece of it. I also have a lot of Pyrex as well, but my mother got rid of all of those small colored refrigerator dishes with the glass lids. I didn’t see a red bowl in your colored mixing bowls. I don’t have one of those either. I still use all of it. Love it but don’t have anything on display except for the colored mixing bowls.

I collect vintage china and Pyrex. They make me oh so happy to see them on the table. I love to think of how many family meals they’ve seen.

Oh, what a lovely collection! It looks so happy on the white shelving. My collections tend to get out of hand. There’s the Snow Village — lighted house and all those accessories. They come out at Christmas time if I have enough time & energy! I’ve pared the teapots down and have them displayed in a small hutch in the kitchen. Then there’s the fabric, which seems to have all the earmarks of being a collection. I do make things with it, though…

I’m right there with you. I collect Pyrex, vintage aprons, fabric, old typewriters, and vintage kitchen utensils.

Your collection adds colour to the room..nothing wrong with that!! Love it! I started collecting fairy figurines but the company is no longer in business…maybe one day they’ll be worth tons!! Also have a collection of cougar pictures, plates and of course the “Stash” of fabric. Cannot drive past a quilt store…it draws me in.

I always stare at the pyrex when I am at a thrift store but never buy any. My collection/ obsession is ribbon and I use it lots!!!!

Crystal I love crystal! Not like I ever use it but I have a curio cabinet full of it and yes I take it out and clean with windex and a micro fiber towel so that it is always shiny.

My main collection is milk glass, but in the last few months I’ve started up with the Pyrex too. How can you resist?

Char! I love your collection! It looks so colorful and fun on your bookshelf all together like that! I collect milk glass, but it’s harder and harder to find these days.
