Hello, Dear Ones!
I just had to tell you I'm so honored that my post about
my pink Gooseberry Pyres was featured at
I just had to tell you I'm so honored that my post about
my pink Gooseberry Pyres was featured at
She has a new linky party up each Thursday
and the day before on Wednesday, she shows her features.
I know she would appreciate you popping in and joining her party today.
Go visit Victoria and tell her I sent you!
Now...
I hope you're not getting tired of seeing my stash of vintage dishes.
I found this on Pinterest and just laughed till I almost fell out of my chair.
LOL
Don't you just love that?
Well, I not only like vintage Pyrex but I like vintage Fire King too.
Don't you just love that?
Well, I not only like vintage Pyrex but I like vintage Fire King too.
I've had this Meadow Green Fire King baking dish for sometime and gave only $1.50 for it!
Cha Ching!
Don't you love that?
Pretty and bakes stuff up like a charm!
Then...
Then...
I just happened into a thrift shop and saw this big bowl that matched my baking dish!
No Cha Ching because I paid $8 for it.
But I think it's worth it.
Gorgeous and it is in pristine condition!
So I poked my new Meadow Green Fire King bowl full of veggies and Mommy Henny Pooh showed up with a couple of babies.
Oh, yeah, she's a looker and she really takes care of her babies.
This little one is a little shy.
Mrs. Henny Pooh has just informed me that her little family is vegan
and they will eat all of the veggies.
She left me the cherry! :)
Do you love these olden Fire King and Pyrex pieces?
Do you use them or just look at them?
I use mine almost every day.
Just one word of warning if you use yours
DON'T EVER PUT PYREX OR FIRE KING IN THE DISHWASHER!!
It will ruin the surface, take off the shine and make it look like it's coated in chalk dust.
I share this with you because I love you! :)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Love Is All Around
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It is written on the wind
Thats everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
You know I love you
I always will
My mind's maid up
By the way that I feel
There's no beginning
There be no end
Cause on my love
You can depend
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kind a get to thinking
Of all the things we said
You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do
You know I love you
I always will
My mind's maid up
By the way that I feel
There's no beginning
There be no end
Cause on my love
You can depend
It is written on the wind
Thats everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show

I don't have Fire King or Pyrex (though I LOVE seeing yours and may now be on the hunt). And if I find them, I will use them. Life is too short not to use things.
ReplyDeleteI really like Pyrex too. That's a good tip on the dishwasher. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any Fire King but love pyrex! Didn't know that about the dishwasher...will have to remember that tip! Sweet little chick :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
I adore Fire King and Pyrex and always keep my eye open for it at yard sales and in thrift shops. Thanks for the dishwasher tip!
ReplyDeleteYour collection is darling!!! Also the roosters!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! I saw that "Hey girl" poster on facebook!
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of my younger girl friends really like him. :)
I love to see your dishes! I use mine AND display them.
I'm always scared when I use them though because I'm kind of clumsy!
♥
Love Pyrex! I'm going to an estate sale that has tons of it, hope some are still around when I get there. I always end up singing along to your songs, today was no different! Have a wonderful day Shelia!!
ReplyDeleteI love Pyrex so much I could sit and look at it all day, but I do not use it because I am now a "collector" - ha! Your Fireking is great, I still think $8 is good for something you collect!
ReplyDeleteHugs ~ Mary
I don't have Pyrex or Fire King, good thing cause I would have already ruin it in the dishwasher. I put everything in the dishwasher. Good to know, now I will know better if I do fine some pieces.
ReplyDeleteI never saw that Fire King pattern before -- like it! And would I ever get tired of looking at your dishes? NEVER, dearest one!
ReplyDeleteI realized last year that the Pyrex bowls I bought in 1975 when I moved out of my parents' house into my first apartment are now vintage, lol. How funny! I guess that means I am even MORE vintage!
(Love that chicken. I need her.)
Cass
You know I love my Pyrex and my Fire King! Your pieces are so pretty! Love that green pattern. I use my Pyrex all the time! It bakes like a charm and it's so pretty to look at too! Never a dishwasher on my Pyrex/Fire King!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
Reading your post made me sad. It reminded me that a broke one of my favorite Fire King pieces the other day. But the bright side is ,Antique Shops here I come.
ReplyDeleteOh Shelia, your Fire King dishes are great. unfortunately I do not have any, but I will be on the look out for some at garage sales.
ReplyDeleteHope your mom is doing fine.
Love your mama chick and babies.
Have a terrific weekend.
Mary
Shelia,
ReplyDeleteLOVE your newest Fire King Pyrex collection, dear friend!!!
Your Henny Pooh and that adorable tea towel make such a stunning vignette!!!
Thanks for sharing the tip on care of pyrex ware. . .always good to know!!!
Fondly,
Pat
I do not have any....I know, I am surely deprived.....Love the cute display!!
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are fantastic! I'm kind of sorry that I don't own any vintage Pyrex or Fire King. And if Ryan Gosling says it's ok, then that's fine with me. :D
ReplyDeleteI Love it and use what I have all the time. Makes me feel close to my Gram as I have all of her pieces.
ReplyDeletexo
These pieces are quite pretty Shelia. I have one Pyrex Butterfly Gold bowl left of my set and wish I'd kept the whole set now. I also had a set of four green Pyrex (I forget the pattern) bowls with the handles. All wedding gifts. I have one Pyrex Wheat casserole that was my mothers from the 60's and use it all the time. Thanks for the tip re: the dishwasher! Have a great weekend coming up. Pam
ReplyDeleteCan't think of the actor's name Shelia but finding that caption was sheer genius!! -chuckle- talk about apt!!
ReplyDeleteI used to have heaps of pyrex, but not a piece do I have left! :( Your collection is quite simply gorgeous, and should be used!

Fabulous Fire King! I've never seen the bowl before, neato. Your photos just POP! I went "trolling" yesterday and found a vintage cake stand that winds up and plays "Happy Birthday". Vintage finds are so much fun, thank you for sharing your finds, AND thanks for your high fives and posts at The POST OFFICE.

Hello again, Shelia. I love yours! I love mine! I have lots and want more! I use mine a lot, and glad you told folks not to put in the DW, I need to tell my readers that, too. You take such GREAT indoor photos. Would love to know your secret for the great lighting. Take care - Dawn
ReplyDeleteThose are some sa-weet vintage pieces! I love the old vintage bakeware and bowls, it's a fun and not very expensive thing to collect, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend my friend.
Hugs, cindy
So, so pretty, Shelia! I love the display you set up to show it off. So charming!
