Do you remember...
When you knew when a woman got married by the color of her Pyrex?

My sister-in-law, Bonnie, who married a year or two after me, has three sets of Pyrex mixing bowls in various shades of brown, orange and gold, all original wedding or shower gifts.  On a visit to the farm yesterday to get fresh eggs, she set out her red and orange "Friendship" pattern bowls and the gold Princess bowls for a photo.  She was married in 1968.
Myrna and I both started out with sets of the "Primary Colors" bowls...and both used the big yellow bowl for raising bread and rolls, and as the communal popcorn bowl.  We both miss these bowls, but they are now harder to find, especially the smallest blue bowl.  Myrna had the refrigerator dishes in "Primary Colors" too.
Myrna and I both bought the avocado green "Spring Blossoms" pattern Pyrex - it was in style in the early seventies and I gave what I had left to her. 
 I had some of the gold Pyrex, also from the late 60's and early 70's, when harvest gold appliances were all the rage, and I had an avocado and gold kitchen - Myrna still has some gold Pyrex she uses.
Our sister Kay, got both the pink and turquoise Pyrex when she married in 1957.   The pink Pyrex in these pictures is mine, collected used...both in "Pink Gooseberry" and "Pink Flamingo".  I have more...I collect it because I missed out on the Pink and Turquoise era, but it brightens my kitchen, is fairly easy to find, and it's not so precious I can't use it everyday.  
New Pyrex isn't nearly so much fun to collect these days!
