Just in case you'd thought that this blog had turned into an endless Weight Watchers meeting for one, you'll be pleased to know that I come baring some fabulous "non-chubby girl related" news ...if you're a collector of vintage Pyrex and or milk glass. My darlings, something wonderful has happened in the city of Pickering. Roadshow Antiques has opened up a brand new location in the southern wing of the Pickering Flea market. They're still just getting situated, but among all of the lovely antique furniture, jewelry and tea cups you will find two fabulous little stalls! I kid you not it was as if I could hear angels singing when I walked by. These shops are adorable little nuggets of retro goodness.
The first shop is straight back from the main doors and there you will find shelves filled with vintage Pyrex - from Fridgie Minis to Cinderella bowl to gorgeous lidded casserole dishes. Lots of different patterns and colors. However, if you're not just into vintage Pyrex, but into all things vintage you will positively swoon over the vintage luggage, a cute kitchenette set and a sweet little pink typewriter that just might not be there past this weekend if I have anything to say about it.
Here's another shot of this shop
One aisle to the left of this first shop is another shop that I like secretly call "The money remover" since it is filled with my first love (of the collectibles world), milk glass! Not just thrift store bud vases, but the good stuff. We're talking goblets, large vases, candy dishes, etc. All except my unicorn, the Fenton Hobnail cake stand (*sigh*, someday). There are also some lovely melamine dishes and a chrome canister set that would be delish in a retro themed kitchen.
Here's a peek
So if you love vintage Prex, milk glass or other delightfully kitschy kitchen bits and you're in driving distance of Pickering, Ontario, stop in to Roadshow antiques. Personally, I suggest going during the week when the flea market side is closed and parking lot is empty. Unless you happen to enjoy flea markets. If you like flea markets, then by all means go on the weekend and make a day of it.

If you know of a shop that sells vintage collectibles in Ontario, please let me know and I would be happy to snap some pictures and post a review. I'm looking to map out all of the best places for milk glass, vintage canister sets, melamine dishware and vintage Pyrex in Toronto and the surrounding areas.
