After our Adamstown trip last weekend, I have pretty much put myself on a Antique shopping for Pyrex ban. Now, I didn’t rule out thrifting because, come on, everyone loves the cheap Pyrex. You find it sitting on a shelf, all dirty and cheap and you take it home, clean it up and it’s just beautiful and shiny. You can’t help but feel like you stole it because this perfect piece was so cheap.
I couldn’t help myself Friday on the drive home from Emmitsburg. There are a lot of thrifts along 140 and I just had the feeling that I was going to find a couple good pieces. Boy, did ever!
The mushrooms were picked up for a friend who loves anything mushroom.This loaf pan is just high on the adorable factor, so she has to own it!
My favorite is the Filigree scroll. I love the black and white Pyrex and it is just so pretty and delicate, Even Hubs was a fan and he usually just rolls his eyes when he sees a new dish on the shelf or sitting on the table, freshly unwrapped from it’s journey home.
Saturday, I decided to break down and go to Ellicott City and see what the shops down there had. Granted immediately after I arrived and started looking, I remembered why I didn’t go down often in the first place. EXPENSIVE! These women have Pyrex listed in their shops for double what most sensible people would pay. I was sad but I decided, I had drove over here, might as well enjoy the sites as the town itself is a beautiful little historical mountain town.
I found this crazy shop, The “Forget Me Not Factory” and it was sensory overload (in a good way) from the minute you walk in. Fairies, pirates witches, Mardigras and Christmas all thrown together in a three story hodgepodge that made my heart just happy. I’m glad I didn’t have much money because I could easily go broke in this place (Relevant: I shall be going back when I get paid!)
