Finally used my mixing bowl

I finally made a cake with my Hamilton Beach mixing bowl I had looked and looked for. I made one for the Trunk or Treat cake walk tomorrow at church. It is orange supreme with Orange Cream Frosting. I was so happy to finally use my bowl. 

But do you want to hear something funny? Hubby always uses his Kitchen Maid mixer, but I love my hand mixer I have had for years and years. I did not realize it until I was finally making a cake in the Hamilton Beach mixing bowl that I actually HAD a Hamilton Beach mixer. I had just never noticed. 

I feel the need for another piece of Pyrex. I love looking on Craig's List to see what Pyrex and vintage glassware is available. I hardly ever see good deals for pieces I don't have that are within driving distance. I am constantly seeing posts from Pyrex collectors in Oregon and Washington where they score really big bargains so I decided to check Craig's List in some of the majors cities in that area. It was amazing what I found. 

First, I found an estate sale that had all this Pyrex and was selling the entire lot for $100.00. Be still my  heart. What collector would not love to find a find like this. 

Here are some other listings I found in those states. Some were unbelievably low and I thought some were on the high side. Here were some of the things in Washington and Oregon. This set was $14 total for both bowls. Not bad, just $7 each. 

This was a set of four nesting bowls for $35 total. 

This one made me want to find out what the shipping would be to Tennessee. Only $4.00 each. WOW. I may have to check and see on these. 

Not sure what the maker of these were, but the price was just $5.00 total. 

I love the wheat pattern, but I wouldn't personally pay $12.00 for a butter dish. 

This is one of the patterns I collect. I don't think $20 is bad for 3 pieces with lids. 

I would love to find one of these in the yellow or pink color. The clear is a nice piece for $3.00 though.

I have never seen anything like this piece. It was $35.00. 

These Cinderella bowls were $49.00

And these were $59.00 for the set. 

  

I thought $70.00 was a little high for these pieces, but I have never bought any fridgies so I didn't know. 

Well, I would love to do some antiquing today, but it is going to be a busy day. I have a Thirty-One meeting this morning, picking up my granddaughter after that and then taking three of my grandchildren to Trunk-or-Treat at church later. Have a blessed Saturday!
