Yard Sale Season

What an amazing weekend!  Not that we did anything extraordinary.  With some great company and new friends, this weekend was awesome. 

This weekend I had the opportunity to meet a fellow Pyrex collector and vintage lover, Trish of My Wicked Vintage.  I've been following her on Instagram for a long time, fascinated by her awesome eye for vintage Pyrex, all things medical vintage and all around positive outlook on life.   It didn't take long to realize she is practically my neighbor, so when I saw that she was having a yard sale, parting with tons of her Pyrex treasures, I was there in a heartbeat.  And even went back for a second dose.   It was so great to meet her and put a face with her awesome Instagram feed.   Trish hooked me up with some awesome pieces for my Friendship and Butterprint collection, which I'll share when the sets are more complete, and she also started my Verde collection for the fabulous price of $10.  I've had my eye on the Verde set for a while now, which is a beautiful set of varying avocado greens.

After visiting Trish on the second day of her yard sale, she recommend a street wide yard sale a few blocks down, so I couldn't help but haul my husband and our buddy Tim for a little more Pyrex hunting.   And we were not disappointed, well, I wasn't.   Within ten minutes I scored the Verde refrigerator set in mint condition for the fabulous yard sale rate of $22.

These are only a few other pieces in the Verde set,  so to have so easily acquired my most coveted pieces in one weekend, within two miles of my home, well, I'm feeling pretty lucky. 

When we weren't shopping the yard sales, we did a lot of hanging out with some out of town friends, and our kick ass neighbors.  Fires in the firepit both nights and copious amounts of craft beer.  I'm loving these friend filled summer weekends!  Now if you will excuse me, my husband is popping some popcorn and putting that 404 qt. cinderella to use.
