Charity Shop Treasure...Retro Plant Pots, Pyrex and Dogs...

I bought these beauties this week...


The pot on the left was 60p, the one in the middle was 80p and the one on the right is a retro one that I've nicked off my mum!  It's hard to tell in the photo, but all the pots have brown speckles and a brown rim, so they kind of all match each other.


I got these retro pyrex-y cups, plates and bowls, £2 for the set.


It goes with all my other orange and pink flower-y pyrex!


These two vintage dogs, I've fallen in love with them and called them Miff and Biff, £2.50 for the pair.


Mum bought me a little caramel and brown coloured Wade whimsy dog for my printer's tray, and I bought myself a pink and white bunny (can you spot them?!).  I bought the tray for about £12 off Ebay a while ago.

You bought anything good?

Linking up with Lakota's Ta-dah! Tuesday.

    I'm liking yoru retro pyrex set, just my colours. Today having a day off work, plus the weather being kind went for a drive to Abergavenny antiques fair. i picked up a recycled cake tier for a fiver and a little jug for the cafe for a £1 - I was pleased with them.

    How funny, I was just thinking that I was sure my Mum had that little pot with pansies on it at one point - must have been all the rage in the 70s!

    What a bargain for all that pyrex!
