Ever stumbled upon a colorful piece of Pyrex in your grandma's kitchen and felt a wave of nostalgia? That's precisely what hooked Rebecca Scott, our guest and Pyrex connoisseur, on the art of collecting vintage kitchenware. Our latest episode whisks you into Bex's charming world, from her family-inspired beginnings to her balancing act as a graphic designer, social media butterfly, and vintage reselling maestro. Amid stories of her lively household in Innisfil, Alberta, Bex peels back the curtain on the thrills of the hunt for those coveted Pyrex pieces that evoke memories of a bygone era.
Did you know that the search for Pyrex can lead to personal transformation? Bex's journey is a testament to this. With anecdotes about starting her own podcast "Pyrex with Bex" and diving into the Whatnot live auction scene, she illustrates the rich tapestry of the collector's community. Our conversation extends beyond the joy of discovery to the strategies that snag elusive finds, the emotional rollercoaster of collecting, and the personal growth that accompanies stepping into the spotlight as an introvert. This is a story not just about Pyrex but about the resilience of passions that flourish even amid snowy climates and pandemics.
Wrapping up our kitchen table chat, Bex and I share insights on the beginners' blunders in collecting and the heartfelt connections people forge with these vintage treasures. We tackle the nitty-gritty of reselling, from deciding which pieces to part with to embracing the quirks of moving an extensive collection. Listeners are invited to a feast of tales ranging from the heartbreak of shattered Pyrex to the triumphs of rare finds, all seasoned with a generous sprinkle of camaraderie and community spirit. Tune in to find out why every Pyrex piece, like the rooms of an old house, tells a story worth preserving.
