With Valentines Day just around the corner I thought I'd share a photo of these lovely Salt and Pepper shakers that I picked up a while back at the Victory Theatre Antiques Centre in Blackheath. I especially love their expressions!

I recently picked up great this vintage hand-painted timber and wire ornament at The Sydney Vintage Clothing, Jewellery and Textiles Show. The trio features a guitarist, a percussionist on glockenspiel and vocals and a saxophonist. One can only imagine the sounds this merry band would make.


I'm really not sure of its age but I love the detail in the musicians faces, uniforms and instruments, the guitarists' guitar looks like its stepped right out of Pablo Picasso's Three Musicians. Thanks Emma for taking such lovely photos of this for me while I'm stuck at work.

On a recent weekend getaway to a small country town called Millthorpe, I picked up these great carved timber and felt trimmed bookends featuring two Mexican men and their cactus, with matching sobreros and guitars. Millthorpe is a beautiful little town located between Orange and Blayney in New South Wales, Australia.

I found this great old slide just sitting on the footpath on my way to work this morning. Definitely the highlight of my day so far. Might put up a found sign on the noticeboard at the local supermarket on my way home.
