Around The WAC today.

I spent most of the day at The Woolloongabba Antique Centre filling up my cabinet and restocking the shelves. Its fun to spend a bit of time there as you bump into so many other lovely dealers and customers and friends.

Here are a few of my favourite things in theoldboathouse, SHOP 17.

Wonderful large size Horikawa Tin Robot made in Japan.

I was very excited when we got this Olivetti Valentine Typewriter in RED, it was designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1969.

I always love old dial phones...kids today can't work them and it always makes me laugh. Also this great little Kartell table/ stool in Orange. You can lift the cushion off and its a table. Hope you are all having a lovely week.

    That red typewriter is just gorgeous. I love the mantle clock it reminds me of the one nana used to have.

    Hello Katherine...thanks for stopping by 24C, it's nice to meet you! You have the best job ever! I'll have to try watching some children try to use a rotary phone one day. ;)

    Best,
    Jessica
