Kitchen Fabric

I just received this fabric in the mail last week. 

It is not fabulous? I love the colors and I love that it has Pyrex. I love to feed my obsession with Pyrex. I bought this from Fabric Worm It is by Andrea Muller Riley Blake the collection is called Vintage Kitchen. Here is the link for this fat quarter bundle I bought.

I am not sure what I am going to make with this yet, but I am sure happy to be adding to my stash. My stash is still small but it is growing slowing. Thank you for reading as always.

Pyrex makes fabulous gifts!!

Happy New Year everyone!!! I hope that everyone's new year has started off well. Mine has been interesting to say the least. It is going to busy year for us here.But I am hoping it is going to be a good one. Now let's talk Pyrex! 

 The above one is the set that Steve gave me for Christmas. He is amazing. Feeding my obsession so nicely. He even went and printed out all of the information about the pattern. Love him! 

So it is a small set of casserole, I love casserole dishes. The patter is the Autumn Floral from 1966. It came right before the 1967 standard pattern Verde (which I have the Cinderella mixing bowel set of). It is hard to see in my bad picture but it is a a golden yellow square floral on a mustard yellow background. And well yellow is my favorite color! 

 Now this is one is really special. It is the 1961 Zodiac. I found it in my Grandmother/Aunts basement. They had no problem with me taking it home. (thank goodness) It is forest green with the 12 zodiac's in gold, the lid below has a beautiful starburst on it. It came with a 4 legged trivet and candle warmer. ( my aunt emailed me saying she found it) . So exciting. 

So now why it this one so special. It is not perfect. There are some scratches on the green and the starburst is faded in places. 

So here is the story that goes with it. And we all know I love stories that goes with objects. 

So back in 1961 my Great Uncle gifted this amazing piece to my Grandmother. ( She is now 100 years old) Crazy! So it has been in the family for the whole time!!! I LOVE it! 

Here is a link to a great site about the patterns and history of Pyrex. Enjoy!

Dishes

For anyone who know, they know my love for vintage kitschy dishes. I have a huge love for all things pyrex. I just wanted to share a couple of my latest finds. They are wonderful and make me smile.  

 The above image is a fabulous vintage Santa spoon rest. Look at it, doesn't it just make you smile. It is on our stove for holiday season. I found it at one of our local Antiques store (Bernat Antiques). I pick it up for only $1!! Can you believe it?

 This is a amazing fridge glass pyrex. It is a fabulous blue color. No chips or marks. The cover is a perfect. 

I am using it a a little sewing "basket". It is the items that I need at hand to be working on Quinn's quilt. It works perfect, it sit on our end table. I have everything that I need at arms length. 

I also picked that great find up at Bernat for only $5!!! 

I love getting a really great deal. 

Thanks for indulging my obsession for dishes. 

Thanks for reading.
