My friend would die if she saw this design, she collects mushrooms!

Oh this is too too funny - we have this set in our house still and this exact coloured / shaped one is the one I use almost every day for my leftovers! I used it just a few hours ago in fact. If you want I can take pictures of the rest of the set - only if you're interested though.

Better late than never! Here are the photos of my pyrex taken just minutes ago. As you'll see there are 3 sizes, different colors and even different patterns. Enjoy!
Oh and one (as stated earlier) has my leftovers in it... :D

Here are a couple of my kitch finds! Both absolute bargains, the dog was £1, which is about $1.50 and the elephant was £2. Both came from charity shops.

Some of these have been around since I was a little kid at least 45 years, others I found in thrift shops.
The big one in the middle is the oldest.

I've had my Super Pot since the 70's, it still works too! I just made Spaghetti & Meatballs in it a few days ago.
You can even deep fry with it! I still have the recipe book that came with it and it gives you basic recipes like Chili, Goulash, Corn fritters and even popcorn! Pretty good for being over 30 years old. I like the retro orange enamel too.
