Introducing Friday Finds

We have been chatting about adding structure to our blog. Mostly, it's been a bit random so far. As a result, Washi Wednesday now has a sibling called Friday Finds! On Fridays, Amy, Zoë or myself will show off some lovely retro find we have recently purchased. Some of the items shown will be available to buy in our shop, or over at The Granny Square, if we can prise them from the grip of the person who made the purchase.


This week I'm kicking us off with this Pyrex-style casserole dish/bowl with a lid. I've had a hunt around the internet, it looks like it's called Federal Glass. It looks and feels like Pyrex, but it's not. We adore Pyrex around here, which you will know if you've ever joined us for tea and cake. Partly because it bounces when you drop it (that's not a guarantee of any sort), but mostly because we all love the multitude of patterns available.

I like the unusual shape and retro blue flower print. You can't tell from the picture, but it's actually quite large. I could easily wear it as a hat, if I so chose.

I have decided to sell this one in the shop. The blue isn't quite right for my kitchen, and I have many, many casserole dishes already, so I'll let someone else admire and cherish it.
