vintage finds

bonjour amoureuses de trésors chinés who play along with sophie's flea market finds (here),
i had a fun morning opshopping with hannah on saturday, and we bumped into zoe too so that made my morning just perfect!
i found a couple of little things, egg cups in one of my favourite colours, another glass cake stand but a short one this time (or is it just called a cake plate maybe?), a suitcase for the boys, some vintage sheets, my favourite one has yellow roses, it's quite pretty. but my happiest moment opshopping this week was when i found my first vintage pyrex dish. i have only just realised how cool vintage pyrex is and i really want to start a serious collection (although we don't find a huge amount in this part of the world i think). i first got inspired when someone in their blog (sorry, i have forgotten who's blog) shared this site (here) that features all the different types of vintage pyrex designs, very cool. and then just the other day i found the lovely blog 'a cozy cup of tea' (here) with two amazing pictures of vintage pyrex collections, really amazing. and so i'm hooked...... I know i'm not the only one out there...! ;-)
have a great week
a bientot xx






et voila, my vintage pyrex dish!!

  6. I just started collecting vintage Pyrex in June, and let me tell you: It's become VERY addicting! You should join the Pyrex Collective blog if you haven't already. Anyway, love your bowl! I'm especially collecting anything blue or pink. :)
