Only 5 more days of the longest January ever left to go, thank goodness!
In the meantime I've found a further remedy to the January blues- charity shop foraging.
This week I found these beautiful vintage tumblers, 99p for the pair...
You can't see it in the photos, but they have the most fabulous gold rims- just like the sort of glasses I remember seeing in my Nana's cupboard as a small child.
and I also picked up some trusty JAJ Pyrex- not one but two oval platters 1.99 for the pair...
and the sugar bowl and milk jug were also 1.99 for both of them...
It's not a design I've seen before, I've no idea what it's called. Not quite as pretty as the classic snowflake design, but I assume it's from the same era.
Do you think there's such a thing as Pyrex addiction- I just can't help purchasing it wherever I find it. Still, it's cheaper that gambling and better for my health than G&Ts I suppose!
Lovely finds....don't worry about your pyrex addiction...its niot a bad thing....I have a 60s & 70s coffee set addiction....isn't it great! :o).....seeing those tumblers reminds me of the tumbler and jug my nan gave me...it too has the gold rim and it has got to be almost 40 years old as my grandad bought/won it and he has been dead nearly 38 years!!!
ReplyDeleteI also collect owls and they always pop up in charity shops....listen to me wittering on!!
Anyway as I said excellent finds and keep that addiction going!!!

Great finds! Agree...cannot wait for Feb to arrive. dx
ReplyDeleteThis has most defiantly been the longest January ever. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteA perfectly reasonable obsession if you ask me. Lovely, just lovely. I think you must have a higher class of donaters in your area, cos in the charity shops round here just lately there has been nothing! Most disappointing. Instead I've been buying prints off etsy.. lovely, but so expensive! xx
ReplyDeletep.s. loving the new camera photos... what did you get in the end?

There must be tonnes of Pyrex out there, waiting to be collected - after all, it is virtually indestructable!
ReplyDeleteHello! As I was happily scrolling through your blog realising how much you love pyrex I remember my mum used to have a whole set back in the 70's. So I call across to her to see if she still has them and try in vain to describe the pattern. She has absolutely no recollection of what I'm talking about and I am about to give up when suddenly I scroll past your JAJ pyrex finds with the blue & black floral squares. Eureka! It's exactly the same pattern as my mum's. I run across to show her and she says "Oh those, I have a whole stack of them up in the loft. Do you want them?". Do I ever! What a result - and really all thanks to you. I just thought you would like to know you have made me one happy lady.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteI have since found out that particular pattern is called 'Chelsea', if you were interested.
Enjoy
