More Pyrex !

Visited my favorite shop again today, (twice this week !)so heres the goodies,
First is this groovy JAJPyrex big casserole, 75p, (pity there was no lid but I shall take one off a boring flowered casserole I have), This made the trip worthwhile as I absolutely love these !
next we have ... more JAJ Pyrex ! A big and a medium bowl, £1 the pair, I already have the small bowl which fits in perfectly with these.
I was grabbing stuff like a mad woman, everywhere I turned there was something else I couldn't live without !
like this medium Mason Cash mixing bowl, 75p.
and this more modern Mason cash pudding bowl, 50p,
I then spied this pretty teapot, £1, It's a Swinnertons ironstone 'harvest fruits' pattern,
These 6 small dishes and small bowl ,£1 the lot, are Phoenix ware glass and match the casserole I got the other day, The manger threw in the whisk and scissors for free.
I didn't buy this big jar, I found it in my greenhouse on my allotment, it cleaned up nicely, I have no idea what I'm going to use it for , its full of smarties at the mo, they were reduced to 40p for 5 packets at the co-op(sell by date nov 12 ?)
This nightdress, £1,  is so cool, it's victorian style, long, embroidered and ruffled(?), I want it, but think it will be too small for me as I'm a bit porky ! I shall try it on tonight, probably give the husband a heart attack ! It looks better in real life, the photo is a bit rubbish, i couldn't be bothered running upstairs for a hanger.
Talking of hangers, these coat hook thingys were £1, got them for the daughters bedroom,
and finally, best bargain I got last week was this mangy cat ! her owners had got a dog that didn't like cats , so she had to go (!!!!), free to a good home, complete with cat carrier, scratching post etc etc.

She had just been recently spayed, and she was a total evil, mad, wild animal for the first 5 days after she arrived, snarling, yowelling, and hissing at us, then she would let you stroke her for about 20 seconds then she would attack you !!
 I really thought she was feral ! but gradually she got used to us, and is the most affectionate cat ever !!
She spends her evenings curled up on my knee, wanders amongst the 4 dogs, but she still isnt keen on our other cat, Oliver, even tho hes tried to be friendly.
 We named  her after my Aunty Lilian, who sadly passed away at the end of march, who loved cats, and my daughters have given her a second name too,
 so please meet, Lily Jellybean...
Shes still a bit skinny, and the pictures arn't very good as she was sat on my knee at the time.
In contrast, heres Oliver, pinning me to my chair for an hour, my legs were numb!!

  5. Ahh Oliver's a big boy isn't he! Hope Lily settles in soon.

    Love your finds, particularly the mixing bowls and the nightie. I think they're quite sexy, but maybe I'm a bit warped! x
