Bright and early this morning the post man had a parcel for me! You might think *psh* doesn't he always have mail for people but readers this particular piece of parcel came from CANADA! Who was it from?! None other than Valerie over at "Vonlipi's Favorites" (Go check her blog out, she's The Pyrex Queen) http://vonlipisfavorites.blogspot.com/
What was in it? The yellow base Pyrex Fridge dish, I had mentioned wanting to start collecting the set for the Casablanca, and 'Vonlip' (as I like to call her) sent her extra one to the Casablanca to help get the collection started! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Thank you so much Vonlip!
On top of that both Valerie and I have spotted these fridge dishes in the Lucy+Ricky Classic "The Long Long Trailer" They show up in this clip sitting on the counter at around 8:24.

Glad you like it!
Ohmygosh, I love "The Long, Long Trailer!"
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am following you now as well!
I love retro pyrex and the long long trailer, I have it on vhs - watch it all the time!
I love Pyrex too! Have acquired a lot of it over the years. The colours are amazing eh? We use them all the time. As you will find they are very durable and useful around the kitchen. Don't be afraid to use them....and maybe your Mom will 'give in' and you'll have that bowl set in no time.
Checked out Colleen's blog....my dog Sophie could use that give away.
Congratulations on the Pyrex! Love the color. And love the clip from the Long Long Trailer (one of my favorite movies) Best of luck to your friend with her blog.
