Repurposing Pyrex

[Former_Member]

I think we all have those pieces -- the faded ones, the chipped ones.

Besides daily kitchen use, how do you re-purpose (or do you) old pieces that aren't in collectible shape?

I like to use mine all over the house -- for candles, for plants. I'm sure the rest of you are more creative -- so share!

I've also been tinkering with the idea of painting, etching or stamping on the really faded pieces -- I'm not very crafty, but I see so much sturdy Pyrex and have to pass it over because it's too worn to resell.

Thoughts?

I like to use some of my smaller, roughed up fridgies for desk and drawer organization, office supplies!

I really like the look of using them for plants! (Now just to find some I won't immediately kill!)

I'd love to hear some more ideas too!!

I have a pyrex caserole dish that belonged to my Mother. She passed away eight years ago. I don't use her dish but I keep it in my cabinet. Every time I look at it , I feel happy remembering my childhood and my Mother:)

I'm with you Genevieve -- love plants, but I'm terrible at keeping them alive. At least it's almost spring -- I can give my back porch herb garden another try.

Teresa -- that's so sweet. Your mom obviously had great taste -- what pattern is your family heirloom?
