Wanted to share with you the wonderful and amazing trades and purchase I got in the mail today!  Hey, I'm doing my part to keep the Postal Service afloat!

The Bake n Carry is part of a collection of these that I have gotten recently.  I've got one more let to find - Country Cinnamon Bake n Carry - solid rust with the cloth cozy.  Interesting there are still lots of these still in the box!  Wonder why people didn't open the boxes?  Bad Christmas presents, wedding gifts to non-cooks?

The aqua set of fridgies and Primary Set I got as a trade for the turquoise hostess set with bracket and an open baker - white on turquoise snowflake.

For pink stems I got the Silhouette with rattan trivet and burgundy 024.  Been lusting after this Silhouette with trivet for some time!  Wouldn't get it unless it had the trivet!  Burgundy 024 is rare - not in real good condition but okay for where I want to display it.

The fleur de lis cups and a 474 lid I traded for the Spices with wooden trivet and a 503 lid.  The cups are not Pyrex but I like the fleur de lis being from Louisiana with our French background here in the southern part of the state.

The box from the Silhouette and 024 trade!  The person is from Alaska and can only trade using flat rate boxes because of the high cost of shipping - so she sure knows how to stuff the boxes and is a mean packer!  Nothing broken! 

But we had a scare when tracking the package it left Baton Rouge coming in from Alaska and went on to San Francisco!  What!  Would I get it?  What was the deal here?  Well it came back to Baton Rouge and then to my small town which is 45 minutes away!  Why the detour?  I'll never know.  The box was torn but the contents were intact!

Trading is one way of growing your Pyrex collection!

Let me know if you trade and how it's working for you!
