I don't think you're ready...for this jelly

No, nothing to do with Beyoncé's booty, just a few additions to my pressed glass jelly mould collection.

Vintage fruit spoon via my Mother in law

The tall turquoise and oval orange were £1.50 each, and the mini red one was 80p. I love these, they make great traditional party jelly. Aren't they great? I'm after a rabbit one next, who can sit wobbling gently on a pile of chopped green jelly 'grass'.

I also picked up this set of 6 French dessert dishes for £3.00. Bargain.

    I'm with you on the jelly moulds, just divine and so practical too....erm.....for copious jelly eating....! I love the berry spoon, I saw one recently at Kempton and did too much pondering so that it was gone by the time I had decided to go back and buy it! Doh! Lovely thrifty finds you have. x

    I do love a jelly mould which is bizarre considering I rarley bother making (veggie) jelly. They are so pretty and I'm envious of your collection. xxx

    Lol! We rarely eat jelly here, so I don't collect these. But they're sure pretty, especially holding the jelly. Love that spoon, too.

    I forget how I got here but I'm glad I made it cos I love your blog. The jelly moulds are excellent. Adore the dresses you bought in your previous post and as for that red telephone - it's freaking fabulous.

    I agree with Comtesse de Fervour, your blog name is genius!

    A second jelly mould collection on the Magpie Monday trail! If it wasn't 8o'clock at night I'd be heading straight to the charity shops to try and start my own. I'd just somehow managed to forget all about jelly moulds and now I'm starting to get a little bit obssessed! Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

    Jelly Moulds are fab and taking over the new modern world as we all return to appreciating the older and vintage stuff.
    Envious of those dessert thingys too.

    Thanks for your comment over at mine. SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!!! Love your blog. I also wanted to find a rabbit jelly mould, but alas, not yet.
    I did see a clear glass one for £4 (like one of yours) but that is waaaay too pricey for me.
    Thrilled to have found your blog, keep in touch!
