Favorite Things #15 - Pyrex

I have been suffering from a mild to moderate case of 'Pyrexia' for several years. The major symptom is wanting to buy every piece of cute Pyrex you can get your hands on. Other symptoms include browsing flickr to see what other Pyrex people have that you do not, and searching ebay for anything that might fulfill that wish list. So far I have managed to fill all of my Pyrex needs through thrift and antique stores, but someday I might just move into that 'severe' category and start buying from Ebay.

So here is a peek into my main Pyrex storage...


It is fairly organized and I can get to most of the pieces pretty easily. Of course that is not all of it...


This would be my overflow cabinet. This is for less used items, rare items, and things that just do not stack nicely. Some non Pyrex items have infiltrated, but it is mostly my collection.

There may or may not be more Pyrex stored in various places throughout my house (I forgot about all of my mugs...), but I really do use 90% of what I have collected over the years. I totally blame Flickr for this collecting craze I went into, that is where I first stumbled upon some pictures of other people's collections.

Do you collect something? If so, what is it and how did you get started?
