Vintage Pyrex
Because I’m a lemming . . .
Word.
This is the Urban Dictionary definition of lemming; it’s also the definition that relates to my love of vintage Pyrex.
But I feel guilty about maligning lemmings, who do not - in fact - jump off cliffs en masse. Click HERE to learn all about lemmings.
Fun Lemming Fact
Now that I’ve absolved myself of any guilt surrounding lemming misinformation . . .
What do lemmings and Pyrex have in common?
I’m a vintage Pyrex lemming. I love it so very much! But I can’t collect it - I’m not from old money or anything like that.
Pyrex is HUGE on social media. Like Godzilla in Japan huge.
This particular piece of Pyrex has nothing to do with lemmings. Or me.
Although I would be thrilled if it were mine; it’s worth a fortune!
According to Pyrex, it’s the “holy grail” of Pyrex collectors. And it nearly sold for >$21k on eBay. I assume the bidder came to his or her senses.
Or someone had an intervention. Read more about the drama HERE.
Bottom line: if you have a piece of vintage Pyrex, do some research before you donate it to Goodwill or - heaven forbid! - decide to throw it away. It could fund a really nice vacation.
The interwebs have plenty of info on Pyrex. Just google it. It’s actually kinda overwhelming.

All the Pyrex
Pics like these are the reason I did this post. It’s nothing more than an excuse to post images of gorgeous, glorious Pyrex collections.
Mix-Tape Must-Have
This great song has an equally great video.
You should def watch it.
No, really.

Watercolor lemmings are MUCH cuter than real lemmings.
I created this image using AI.
Which explains why it’s kinda good.
