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!
