Pyrex Saturday

I've been a little worker bee lately, so I had a good plan for Saturday. Go to an estate sale (not because it sounded great - Hummels and silverplate - but because it was the first sale in ages), then come home and putz around. Maybe cook. Maybe bake. Maybe do something to the living room which has essentially remained bare since the Christmas decorations went down. A lazy Saturday.

I saw a lot of people I hadn't seen all winter at the sale. That's a good thing - that I hadn't seen them all winter, I mean. There are a few people at sales that I'm happy to see, and a few more that I have a nodding acquaintance with, but for the most part there are unpleasant, pushy men. The only good thing about unpleasant, pushy men is that they tend not to go for Pyrex, so I got the refrigerator set above. And I thought, you know, I should list that right now, because it would be easy.

Knowing that it's easier to list things that are similar all at one time, I thought I'd get out some pink Pyrex that I bought a long time ago.

These bowls looked so pretty with the pink and the green, I thought I might as well get them out, too.

These were stored in the same area, and since I had kind of a housewares thing going, I got them out. (There are five others ... cute set. They'd look awesome in my kitchen.)

Once you have the Pyrex out, you might as well go all the way and get out the Fire King and Anchor Hocking cousins.

I washed the pieces up and lovingly photographed them and thought how I've never been really crazy about these Kimberly mugs, but I do like these blue ones.

And how if I had a lot of space, I'd just keep everything. It snowed, and then it rained, and because it was so cloudy I guess I didn't notice how late it was.

Before I knew it, it was time to think about dinner. My lazy Saturday was gone. I hadn't had time to be lazy, and that made me kind of sad. But at least I spent the day with Pyrex.

Right after you posted on facebook about your etsy problem with the lower offer someone sent one to me. I took your advice and promptly declined that business! Thanks for the advance notice. LOL

I'm completely smitten with your spice containers. You really did well with this last sale. Estate sale land has completely dried up around me. I'm blaming it on our winter weather.

Puttering with Pyrex seems like a Pretty Pleasant day! Love those spice jars.

I can imagine how quickly a Saturday would pass if spent with Pyrex. Love your pieces. I had no idea the same people that attend my sales attend yours, too.

I am dying for a good sale! Glad you got something at yours! I would've kept this set for myself. :)

My, how time flies when you're having fun! Too bad you didn't get to relax, but you're right. At least you had good company.

It might not have been a lazy day, but it still looks like it was enjoyable! I really enjoyed the part about pushy men. I've almost been knocked to the ground by men trying to get at some tools at an estate sale. It took two times, but I've finally learned my lesson: Stay away from the tool section. And most especially the toy car section!
