Like this 1960s Ellis Ceramics dish which for all the world looks like a hospital kidney tray. It is all kinds of awesome and for the past little while it has been filled with Lego body parts.
I also picked up a nice little set of Orrefors crystal candle holders at the children's school trash and treasure. I think they are called Stella. And as some of my buddies have informed me, the Sow's Ear is the place to be during a black-out with the amount of candle holders we own!
I have also been saying yes to Glomesh. Yes, yes, yes!
I am becoming someone's 93-year-old great aunt Myrtle. Sensible shoes and a Senior's Card shall be next on the agenda. Actually, I have sensible shoes, so it's just a Senior's Card that I need...Anyway, I am loving having such a sparkly coin purse to whip out of my handbag when doing the groceries.
This blingy clutch is not a Glomesh branded handbag. It is called Sterling Mesh and is made in Australia. For some reason the purse looks silver in this photograph but it is really gold. It will be getting an outing next weekend at the MAD functions and is also very discotheque-worthy!
The little Figgjo Market milk jug was found at an op-shop by my friend Melissa . She very kindly gave it to me, after I twisted her arm and made her cry...She's so lovely! It goes very nicely with my slow growing collection of this china pattern.
See it is a perfect match to the Figgjo Market teapot and plates I found at the Salvo's last year.
Have you had any good finds lately or picked up a great bargain? I'd love to hear what you've found.
Some nice finds! Funny how you feel pickings are become anorexic and then you find some gems. Kind of like someone has been through before you with your taste and scooped everything worthwhile! Also have a bit of the Figgio market place, love. And do like the brown dish. Bananas? See my last post for some glass beauties.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patsy! The Figgjo Market is pretty cool but are very hard to find. Also thanks for letting me know about your blog, just had a nice visit there. xx
DeleteVery cool "kidney tray", pickings have been slim here of late as well. We used those Glomesh purses as teenagers, haha we must have looked hilarious, Granny Chic ahead of time?
ReplyDeleteYou would've rocked the Glomesh purse Simmone. lol!

Love the black bowl! I don't think it looks "hospitaly" at all. We had an orange bowl in our very first store that we called The Urinal. It looked enough like a bedpan that we wondered why we bought it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet friend to give you the Figgjo creamer...or should I be sympathizing with her about her twisted arm?
I had to laugh about the Aunt Myrtle thing. I had an Aunt Myrtle, and I'm sure she owned one of those Glomesh sparklies. You and I would be all set to go out on the town together. I actually have a wallet full of senior cards, and I'd let you carry them for us in the shiny bag.
Hey Dana, you probably should be sympathising with my friend...she may have wanted to start her own collection with that first jug...And I'm booking a flight for me and my purse to hook up with your senior's card! xx
DeleteWell call me Myrtle because I love that glomesh too! I think the candleholders would look lovely in your bedroom with the new bed linen.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people are loving Glomesh given the price of them at some antique places! My candle holders get rotated around quite a bit and I'm sure they will end up in the bedroom soon. xx
DeleteCool finds I love op shopping am on the look out for tables and chairs I can re cover and paint I'm finding it a bit hard though - I think my fave of your finds is the sparkly bags now you just need some sparkly shoes to match ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! Table and chairs to paint are hard to find in an op-shop...gumtree might be another place to look. And sparkly shoes is a thought! xx

ReplyDeletei have the same kidney shaped dish in blue - mine is chipped though. I love it.
Really? It sounds awesome. Chips, schnips I say too! xx
DeleteForgive my ignorance... But what is an op shop - is it like what we would call a charity shop - people donate goods and they are sold and the money given to the charity?

Ooh, I LOVE the blingy clutch!! I would love to take that out for a spin:-) Market is really hard to find here too, even so close to the source. That Melissa is a keeper:-)
