{Vintage Pyrex - Continued...}

After writing about how much I thought about wanting to start collecting vintage Pyrex dishes in all colors of the rainbow HERE, I became slightly obsessed with finding these dishes all over the Internet and the more dishes I found...the more it made me want to just take the plunge to just start collecting them.

SOOOOOOOO....I DID! I have some amazing friends and I have to give a little shout out to my friend Whitney because if it wasn't for her visiting an antique store during her visit to Walla Walla, I don't think I would've started! She found a HUGE selection of vintage Pyrex, here is just ONE of the areas of Pyrex she found... 

 
The second she saw all of it, she thought of me and started sending me pictures like crazy. I definitely had to restrain myself because every picture of every dish she sent me, I WANTED TO BUY!! :-) Here are some of the pictures that she sent me during her antique store visit...

This is the one I had Whitney get for me...


These were the rest of the ones I wanted to buy...



There were more she told me about that I don't have pictures for...like I said, could've spent a small fortune!

And my second shout out goes to my friend Heidi who also saw my first post about vintage Pyrex and she told me she had a dish in a color I didn't have sitting in her storage that she knew she'd never really use again and wanted to give it to me! SO sweet of her! Here's my soon to be new beauty that I'll be adding to collection...


Here is my entire collection NOW...


I'm definitely off to a great start! Excited to get more already! Guess I'll have to pick up a new hobby of antique store hopping haha. Oh, and find another job to support that new hobby lol!

Another reason to be excited about collecting these dishes is that if fulfills one of my 101 Things in 1001 Days list!! WOOT WOOT! :-)

What are you all up to today? Anyone still on vacation for the holiday? How are you enjoying the rest of your time off? Collect something too? What do you collect? :-) 

HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE!
