Several months ago I found this bowl. It was sad and all alone on the self at the now closed Spittlefields Crypt charity shop. I took it home, cleaned it up, and introduced it to all of my other Pyrex bowls.
Still, the bowl was lonely. Once upon a time it had been part of a set and its family had long since gone astray.
Then, one day, I spotted a red bowl on eBay, a bowl that I just knew had to be part of the set that the blue bowl was from. I bid, and then was almost outbid at the last second, but my reserve bid saved me. Eventually this little lonely red bowl found its way to my doorstep.
I was right, they were part of a three bowl set and now they have been reunited. (Cue the playing of At Last in the background)
Now these only sad and lonely bowls are happily reunited. All they need from me is love, cake batter, and the smallest piece, a yellow bowl. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for that one.
What have you found this week? Now that I've given my collections personalities have I crossed the line from quirky to actually totally insane?
I’m going to link up with Magpie Monday at Me and my Shadow, and Thrift Share Monday at Apron Thrift Girl, and Thrifty Love at Cap Creations, and the Thriftasaurus at Sir Thrift A Lot.

Nah, in my opinion you've just crossed the line from quirky to very-average-and-normal-thrifter. :) They look good together!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do often worry that thifting is turning me nutty and the support that its not is appreciated!
DeleteI like to consider myself pretty knowledgable in all things Pyrex but even I didn't know that set existed! Great finds and thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays,

It's a Jaj set, so made in the UK. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYup - was going to say the same thing as Erica, had no idea! Nice to know it's a JAJ set, so probably won't be seeing it anytime soon, but you still never know!
ReplyDeleteA lot of the Jaj stuff is sort of like American stuff, but often I don't think it looks as nice. Isn't there a primary colors set? Still, I'm very happy to be able to find pieces that belong in sets.
