Hidden suitcase finds and Big doll, little doll.

Sometimes when we purchase a whole lot of things from an estate there isn't always time to go through everything and it is not until we get home that we get to see all that we have bought. Often it is a mixed bag, it can be a let down or a pleasant surprise. But it is always fun to see what people pack up and store away. This week an old suitcase held some treasures. Who knows when they all were put in the case or why.

There was a nice old carnival glass bowl.

A set of red anodised double bed lights...these are the kind that clip to the bed head.

A very stylish shell lamp...note the nice detail that someone has worked to the edge of the shell. There was also some old plates and a bowl made out of shells.

I also wanted to show you these dolls. They came from two different houses, but both were made for the New Zealand souvenir market.

Isn't she a cutie? Both of these are off to the WAC, Woolloongabba Antique Centre, along with the lamps and suitcase. To contact please email boathome@bigpond.net.au
