Coincidental Cornflower Collection - My Unintentional A-series Cornflower

I have said many times that I was never interested in collecting the A-Series Cornflower, at least not past the roasters...  Cause you can never have too many roasting pans.    There were more pieces made in the P-Series, and the P-series is the older of the two (being pre-1972) so I was all good with just concentrating on the original model series.  

Be that as it may, I sort of "fell" into a slew of A-series over the space of a couple days and it was all REALLY inexpensive.  My resolve completely crumbled.... SO, this is my completely unplanned collection of A-series Cornflower.



Top Shelf: A-18-B on A-21-B on A-76-B sitting on an 11x15 White Counter Saver that I stretched across the top, so I could add the roasters to the photo.
Second Shelf:  A-8-B in A-10-B
Third Shelf:  A-1-B on A-3-B on A-84-B
Bottom Shelf:  A-1 1/2-B on A-2-B, on A-5-B
Not shown...   A-22 Electromatic Table Range.  (I can only balance so much on my shelf)

Granted, I am still missing the infamous A-21-B-N (late model A-21 Roaster with handles on each end), but it will happen...  :)

Oh, that little blue box on the top, is the metal rack (A-21-R) that Corning made to fit all 3 of the A-series Roasting Pans.


Where is your Corning Ware??

Pretty Pansies for Auntie Patsy - Secret Summer Blush Collection (with extras)

I don't really know if this counts as a "My Collection" post or "My Collection Monday" post.  Technically it is still in my possession, so I guess for all intensive purposes, it is my collection at this point.

You see, I have been secretly amassing a collection of Summer Blush, to give to my Aunt Patsy, cause she loves pansies.  (Though after she sees this post, it won't be much of a secret anymore)  LOL

I will admit I have had to throw in a couple of "Just White" pieces in to round out the set.  Electromatic Skillets were discontinued in 1976, so they are not available with a Summer Blush Skillet since the pattern wasn't released until 20 years later in 1996.

A-1.5-B with A-7-C lid sitting in an A-2-B with A-9-C lid.

A-1-B with A-7-C lid sitting on a second A-2-B with A-9-C lid sitting on an A-5-B with A-5-C lid.

M-10-GR Grill Pan (I need to find her an A-10-HG handle for this one)

This is actually a Cookmates Skillet (10 inch) with a P-12-C lid on the original P-12-ES Electromatic Hot Plate.


It's almost a complete set of Summer Blush, though I am still watching for an A-3-B and an A-21-B-N Roaster... I am also thinking that I should probably find her another A-1-B (you can never have too many 1 quart saucepans).
