Fruity cocktails shall be decanted from and served up in this lovely glassware (as far as I'm concerned there just aren't enough opportunities in life to use the verb 'decant' so I urge you to slip it into conversation whenever possible). This set was $5 in Vinnie's.
Ice-cubes will have the luxury of being created in these rather gorgeous vintage Frigidaire anodised Quickube ice-trays, from the 1950s - $1 for the pair in Salvos.
Glasses of sparkling white wine will be served up on this gorgeous little tray - $1 in Vinnie's.
Who could not fall in love with this set of coasters featuring illustrations of beautiful birdies? - $2 in Vinnie's.Typing this post has made me thirsty, children are napping so I'm off out onto the deck for an ice-cold glass of lemonade (and a chocolate eclair, yum).

those gorgeous recepticles beat a plastic bob the builder mug HANDS DOWN!! i love vintage glassware too and collect it - lucky its easy to come by so i don't get too disheartened when the boys get their mits on them. 30 degrees sounds a world away from our climate down south - enjoy! btw love that website - have been snooping around there regularly
My mum still uses icetrays like these ... they're the best! Great finds, as usual...
that glass set for 5 dollars is a great deal! That is an awesome set! These are all great deals though!
wonderful finds as usual :-), and really great pictures!
Wow, we had ice cube tray like that when I was a wee girl growing up!! Fab. I love decanters - they have such an old world feel to them - don't you feel like having 5 ' clock cocktails?
The decanter set is brilliant. Love it. And the ice trays work a treat. I have a couple of them.
Off-topic, but Lobster & Swan had posted a photo in Flickr or on her blog of decanters being used for bath items. I'm inspired by you both!
Oh I love those glasses and the coasters. How beautiful!
