Birthday Thrift Smorgasbord

Hello dear friends!

I've been MIA the past few days because last Friday was my birthday. I've just been having way to much fun to sit down and actually write about it!

My entire birthday celebration basically revolved around going on a massive thrifting spree. It will take me days to share with you my newest goodies, and to tell you about my party. Plus I'm moving, TOMORROW, so internet access may be spotty at best, not sure yet! Anyways (ramble, ramble, ramble) what I'm trying to say is bear with me!

Here are some of my birthday prezzies, which are sure to find special places in my new abode...

Awesome, folksy, linen printed tablecloth:

Crazy-cute carafe/juice glass set

Pretty Juice Set

And the crowning achievement of the thrifting trip...a full set of Pyrex Gooseberry mixing bowls

Gooseberry Mixing Bowl Set

I'm so excited to have a sturdy set of mixing bowls, which my kitchen has been lacking for some time. Also, this pattern matches two small round casseroles that I inherited from my Memere, so I officially have a collection of a particular pattern instead of just a mish-mash. Not that there is anything wrong with a mish-mash of Pyrex!

More soon - just don't know when. Wish me luck on this move - ay!

Those bowls!!!! I have one! A pink with white design and I love it. Sadly it hardly ever comes up here in the UK.

What a perfect birthday present for yourself!

The pyrex is gorgeous and I am trying so hard to not start a collection of juice glasses, but those are persuading me to do it!

Happy, happy birthday a little late! Love that you scored that Gooseberry Pyrex set for your BIRTHDAY! They are perfect and beautiful. Well worth waiting for.

And the table cloth - I am sure either my great grand mother or my aunt had one almost exactly the same. Had such a deja vu experience when the image popped up!

I am happy this new year in your life is starting out on such a happy note. May it just get better every single day.
