Some Vintage Stuff for a Friday

Hi y'all!
Jaimeson and I have had a fun little day today. We started out this morning by popping by my cousins place where Aunty Julie was having a card making day with her grandchildren. Jami and Georgia are such good babysitters! They enjoyed lots of cuddles with Jaimeson, which was great for me cos it left my arms free to have a cuppa with AJ! Jaimeson loved Blake, and he would lean out around you, just so he could keep following Blake around the room! It was so cute! Jai's going to love playing with his second cousins when he grows bigger!
Then we jumped on the M5 into the city cos I had to pick up some Lego Primo I won on ebay, and it was conveniently only 10 mins from the giant Salvos Warehouse at Tempe. I guess I had to go {shrugging shoulders!}
Well, I was a little disappointed I have to say. It was pretty busy and seemed a little shopped out too. They hardly had any vintage homewares at all, like only a handful of things! Everything else was newer and boring. There were 2 small pyrex dishes I carried around in my basket for a while, but the patterns weren't my collections and I really am running out of space and can't possible house any new pattern collections (only add to what I have) so I put them back. Shock! {Hand across mouth!} They were a gold leaf pattern and a blue Japanese scene. If you want those patterns "Run RUN!!" they were still on the shelf at 2pm this arvo {firing starters gun!} They also had orange pyrex ramikins, but I already have them at home. So that was it! Nothing for me then {surprised face!}

So, here are some pieces I have picked up lately, at op shops:

I have never seen Pink Pyrex to buy in Australia so I practically jumped at the flimsy shelf holding this baby when I saw it! It was at Lidcombe Salvos, which I would usually consider as a crap Op Shop. So this changed my mind! It was only $6 and is in perfect condition except for a little chip on the lid. So pretty!Then this Fireking bowl I had to buy, even though I have no other Fireking, cos I loved it's peach lustre and the sweet leaft edge around the rim (not sure if you can see it so well). It cost me $3 at our local Church's Monthly Market. Which, by the way, I had no idea about until December when my MIL casually mentioned it. Honestly, we've been living at Hotel d'Lam for a whole year, why am I only just finding out about this? It means I'd missed out on 12 opportunities to shop for retro stuff from the lovely dears at the local church! I'm bummed!!
And then there is this pie dish. We used to have this exact dish when I was growing up! Isn't it just gorgeous! I {heart} it! I got it on ebay cos I saw it and remembered it from my childhood. And the bonus was, the auction was actually a lot of 2 of them, and when I showed the pic to Mum she lamented how hers had broken years ago and how much she loved it. I knew then I had to bid cos we could both have one! I was the only bidder. SCORE! {high five!} I'm totally making my quiche in this from now on!
I am also linking up to Her Library Adventures for Flea Market Finds.

Oh and i haven't finished with a pic of Jaimeson for a while, so here you go. He's still the sweetest sleeper! And has awesome hair. And I'm only slightly biased {tongue in cheek!}
