A New Hat.

Hi y'all!
I'm sneakily writing this blog post from Will's brother's computer so as to not wake Jaimeson, who is having a lovely long afternoon sleep after we went to the local pool this morning. The pool wore me out too! I should have taken this opportunity to nap too {giggles}. But I just haven't been posting enough on my blog lately, and you probably thought I'd taken off on some exotic soiree to amazing faraway places. Sadly, only in my mind. LOL!
The only thing is, I have to do the writing here on Vince's computer, then post the pics later from our computer once Jai has woken up. What a complex life I have {tongue in cheek!}
So anyways....

About time I posted some of my recent vintage finds! On our way back from Birkenhead Point last friday, where we bought Lil (my SIL) some gorgeous bedlinen from Sheridan for her engagement party (and I got a new doona cover for Will & I! SCORE!! {high five}), I convinced Will to stop by Lidcombe Salvos. Jai was asleep in the back seat, so I got the instruction to run in and run out in 10mins. Lucky I know this store like the back of my hand cos I managed to score some AWESOME goodies in only 10mins! They've taken to hiding the Pyrex at 2 ends of the Homewares/Bric A Brac section, so you've gotta have your wits about you.

First I spotted the 2 sweeeeeeeeeet Agee Pyrex Friendship pattern ramekins (50c each), and I don't have any of the Friendship ramekins in my collection, though I have a set of 3 of the bowls and 2 of the American Friendship pattern casseroles, so anyway I was chuffed when I spotted them. I don't know what the pattern is called, I just call it the Agee Friendship pattern cos at first it reminded me of the American Pyrex Friendship pattern. Feel free to let me know what it's really called if you know!

And as I bent down to pick them up I nearly died when I spotted the GIANT green Spring Blossom mixing bowl for $4! Count 'em: Four Dollars! That's less than a Filet o' Fish (yep, they're ridiculously expensive considering Will calls them a "nothing burger" cos they disintegrate in your mouth...anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah, dying...) I was sooooo thrilled! I mean this bowl is massive. So massive you could wear it as a hat. An awesome, vintage, Pyrex hat.
Exhibit A:

Doesn't it bring out the green of my eyes? LOL!
I only have one other Pyrex mixing bowl in this size, and that was also a recent find, so I was over the moon to get this one {belly bump!} And $4 was a steal.
Also hiding in the background of the main pic is a black and white retro daisy glass for 50c. Can't beat it, and it's going in general circulation (the regular kitchen cupboard) cos I love pretty everyday drinkware.
I hope you've had some luck lately!
Found anything cool?
