Oh My.....Did We Find Pyrex!!

My girlfriend and I went on our annual trip to the Arcola, IL 

Cornbroom Festival, leaving one of our sick friend behind

that could not go.

So Friday morning we headed out at 8am.

We decided to take the 

National Road (route 40) from St Louis to my

hometown Greenup.

First stop in Pocahonta's IL

This restaurant was the place everyone from home stopped

to eat at when going to St.Louis.

I remember stopping here in 1970 on our way home from a trip

Don't worry, I could not eat it all!!
We wanted to stop to eat at
Gabby Goat in Effingham but we were tooooo
full?
So we stopped their on Sunday for lunch

So it was off to stop at every antique shop on the 100 miles.

This booth in Altamont IL was Pyrex heaven!

We had already picked up some in Greenville IL

So shall we take a look?

Now only 3 pieces are mine!

My friend at home, wanted to sell some of her pieces

and she found the one piece at auction for me.

Patty ended up buying all the pieces.

She bought the turquoise meat loaf pan from my friend

and bought the green small for her daughter.

This is the Embroidery Casserole my friend found at auction, and my other

friend bought off of her.

1958 Fall Promotional piece.

Then she told us " I have some yellowish/brown

Amish one"

The 4 quart Cinderella yellow Butterprint!

In St. Elmo IL, I found this and told Patty to get it because it

was turquoise..then I realized it is 

1958 Promotional Balloon Chip and Dip set,

minus the holder.

Then I found at 

Daisy 4 quart Cinderella for another friend

marked down from $10 to $8 and now 20% off!

Remember the one picture of the "Pyrex booth"?

well, Patty bought the gooseberry and butterprint 

casseroles. I have never seen any gooseberry pieces.

Things seem to be regional?

This is my friends favorite pattern

Just happened my cousin had the Cinderella set minus the 4quart, so 

she bought those too.

Now do you want to see my 3 pieces?

First stop I found this....

Friendship oval casserole, and last stop of the day, I found this 

holder for $1.50.

Had round casseroles but no oval

Divided snowflake in mint condition

and yes, last stop I found a holder for it $1.50.

This was at Amish Land in Tuscola IL

Could not believe the last stop had alot of Pyrex but not

the patterns we liked but to think the holders were sold

separate was a great find!

I have saved the best for last!

At the Broom Corn Festival in Arcola

I found this at the Emporium

Golden Poinsettia

1961 Promotional

In mint condition!

Will be great for Christmas!

We had so much fun hunting, by the time Saturday night came,

we were exhausted! So it was Paglia Pizza and salads delivered, 

and had the twins over to visit.

I had 2 glasses of wine and fell asleep.....

Hunting is HARD work.
Every piece we bought was in mint condition.

 I think we did great!
