Blue Monday-Creating Pumpkin Pie in a Blue Pyrex Bowl

You know you bake a good pie when it disappears fast, super fast! That's what happened on Thanksgiving Day. And that was also one of the reasons I didn't get a photo of the finished product.


When I bake pumpkin pie I always make two batches from scratch. It is by far my favorite pie! A little dollop of whip topping on top and it is as good as gold to me, well except you can eat it! ;) So for two pies this year I mixed them in my new, but very vintage, giant, blue Pyrex bowl….love it!


Happy Blue Monday!

Pink, Pink, Pink!!! Saturday!!!

I’ve decided to join the ladies in “Pink Saturday” blogging! What is "Pink Saturday"? Many bloggers post something pink on their blog on Saturday, and then check out other people's blogs on the list of "Pink Saturday" bloggers to see what pink things have been posted. Beverly over at How Sweet the Sound came up with this fun idea!! I heard about it awhile back, but I usually don't make the time to blog. I am trying to get better and here is my third post this week already! Blogging world here I come!!!


I think it is easier for me to make a post when there is already a subject at hand. Especially when it is about the color PINK; one of my new favorite colors! Here is one of my favorite pink items in our home…


That’s right, pink Pyrex…double “p” if you know me…ok, well I just had to write that! We’ve rhymed words around here lately, pretty fun! I guess I consider that fun because my word geek of a husband has rubbed off on me. Well anyhow back to the PINK! Here is another photo of my pink Pyrex…yup upside down! I'm a photo taking fool, in case you didn't know!


I just started collecting vintage Pyrex this fall and this was my very first vintage Pyrex piece I bought! No chips either! I bought it at a thrift shop for 99 cents!!! It did NOT have a price on it and the employee said 99 cents and I was thrilled! But I kept my cool until I got out of the store, after paying for it of course. ;)


I’m kind of surprised I didn’t start collecting Pyrex until this fall because I love vintage stuff, especially dishes. But maybe it was because it always seemed pricey at garage sales/yard sales, and I am cheap frugal. Now I’m kicking myself for not picking up pieces over the years, but I’m sure I’ll make up for it! I think I probably already have; look in the background of the next two photos, and there are more pieces not pictured...


Do you collect vintage Pyrex? What's your favorite piece?


Have a great weekend and a Happy Pink Saturday!
