They were found on two separate thrifty Monday shopping trips with my girl-monkey, and as luck would have it, they match (ok, so the colour isn't an EXACT match, but close enough for me)....
The casserole was a steal at $5.99;
and the bowl was an even better deal at $3.99....
The bowl was actually part of a nesting set; but, sadly, I couldn't bring myself to buy all four of them.... I picked the most pristine, and most perfect size for my needs, and after apologizing to the others, I said so long.
This pattern is named Butterfly Gold.... up close and personal, the gold is so pretty, and the coverage of the enamel is so perfect (how much of a nerd am I?!)....
History lesson: This pattern was released by Pyrex in 1972 as compatibles to Corelle's Livingware pattern Butterfly Gold, one of Corelle's original Livingware patterns, 1970.... I'm sure you've all eaten or drank form this pattern either in your own homes or the homes of someone you knew.... I think my mother-in-law may still have some pieces (if not an entire set) of Corelle Butterfly Gold....
Anyhow, my peeps, my search continues for the ever-elusive pink Pyrex.... Pink Gooseberry, Pink Daisy, Pink Stripe or Solid Pink.... While I'm not a lover of pink in general, I can't seem to get the pink Pyrex out of my head.... I'd be happy with even one tiny little piece.... sigh, one tiny little piece of perfectly pretty pink Pyrex (ha! an alliteration for all you other word-nerds out there!)....
Enjoy your day all ;)
Whoa! You are a nerd! But probably why we get along so well...I'm a nerd too and get way too excited over pyrex, corelle etc...The idea of finding pink pyrex excites me as well...
ReplyDeleteThe gold is lovely too. Enjoy!

Sherry... I thought all this time you knew I was, in fact, a nerd!? Or did this just solidify what you already knew? The gold is great, I smile every time I get to use it :)
