I love pink Pyrex! Finally, after a rather long summer with very few vintage finds, I had a great thrifting day. First I found the two lovely, pink Gooseberry Pyrex bowls -- at only $3 for the set. This was a steal. I've seen a single bowl go for $20 and a set (of 4) go for $100, so I am very pleased. Not long after that, I found the cute, pink Daisy baking dish (for only 25ยข!)
After that, anything was going to be icing on the cake. While I didn't find any more glass, I did grab these Tupperware trays in some amazing 70's colors. Then, near the end of the day, I found a beautiful marble pastry board. These can be pretty pricey so I was happy to find this one for $5 -- plus the lady I bought it from threw in a copy of Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin for free!
The marble slab was a super find because I just checked a book out from the library called Sugar Baby: Confections, Candies, Cakes & Other Delicious Recipes for Cooking with Sugar which is so awesome, that I am going to buy a copy for my cookbook library. In it, she recommends a marble board for use in making many of the candies in the book. Great timing!

Oh my goodness! What a lucky girl you are! That Pyrex was a steal!!! And those Tupperware trays are a must have! My mom had a set just like them. My set is newer and all red. We use them for potluck dinners.

Oh I really covet your pink Pyrex. It would look so nice on my very pale pink Coriander counters! Great find.

WOW!! Twenty-five cents is ridiculous - you are so lucky! I love pink Pyrex as well. I have yet to get any Gooseberry or Daisy stuff, though.

Mega scores!
Jealous of the deals on the Gooseberry! When I found my Gooseberry bowl (have only found one & it was like SERIOUS when I found it. I think the girl thought I was a little mad), the girl was like, "oh we get sets in all the time, we had pink the other day.."
Was so mad at her, LOL!
Loving the Tupperware trays as well. We had the stackable plates in the exact same colours growing up.

Excellent find on the marble slab. My sister-in-law and her sisters have a couple that they use every year around Christmas to make peanut brittle (and walnut brittle, and sometimes plain brittle), which they sell around town and haul in a load of cash.

My heart hurts with envy at the fact that you got those gooseberry bowls for that price. Especially since I had to pay 25 bucks just to get the large one of the set. You SCORED!
