Vintage Pyrex Measuring Cups!

Last weekend in Vancouver, a seniors centre in a nice part of town held heir annual Holly Bazaar, a sale of baked goods, handknit goods, and thrifty stuff of course!


Hubby manned the stroller so I could swoop through the crowds unhindered and I spotted a vintage Pyrex D Handle measuring cup... Then, I saw that it was nested inside a larger 4 Cup that matched!


Curiously, both were priced at $2 a piece.


The awesome thing is that I had gone into a Salvation Army a few days before and left empty handed. The best thing I saw was the exact same Pyrex 1 cup, but with a badly chipped handle. I think this was meant for me!


I am so glad to have this little set. The only problem is that I have a few more measuring cups thqn anyone really needs... Honest, I did not set out to collect measuring cups!

  4. I never thought I'd be collecting bowls!

    Luckily, I don't collect measuring cups (yet). Barely have room for the Pyrex bowls & casseroles I am lugging home. I do use the smaller version you bought a couple times a week, but I think I might buy a new Fire King one from Dollarama.
