I haven't baked anything over the last week as I've been on holiday visiting family and friends in Glasgow but I thought I'd share some of my most recent charity shop purchases.

Two more Johnson Brothers Cloud pieces to add to my collection: a medium sized jug and a gravy boat with its original dish.

I was also delighted to find four Sprayware pudding bowls a couple of weeks ago for a mere 5p each! I've seen pieces like these before on ebay, when I've been casually browsing retro pyrex, (on a side note, why do Americans have far prettier pyrex? It's not fair!) so I was delighted to get my hands on them.

I'm aware not everybody likes pyrex or sprayware, but personally I like their retro charm. The hexagonal shape of these bowls really appeals to me.
Still on a pyrex theme, my sister in law bought me this little sugar bowl a while ago. For some unknown reason, whenever I see bowls or containers about this size I have visions of them filled with buttons.

However I'm thinking I might use this as a little used teabag container because, let's face it, those little teapot shaped dishes are way too small if you drink lots of tea throughout the day and empty glass jars aren't as pretty. I could just put used teabags straight to the bin but that would be way too sensible wouldn't it? Plus I sometimes like to reuse my teabags.
On a side note my laptop decided to stop connecting to the internet last week (amongst other suspicious things) which is a bit inconvenient. Thankfully this post was more or less written up last week and my brother doesn't mind me stealing his computer to catch up on blog reading. Fingers crossed my laptop is fixable! I'm so clueless with techy stuff.
