AMAZING Drawers plus other Hard to part with Items listing on Ebay tonight

Firstly apologies for not blogging. I have been enjoying the return home of Lotte and (touch wood) the normal, simple pleasures of work and home without Doctors visits and hospitals etc. But I know you will forgive me when you see what's below. Look what Kristen has brought  home now....

I adore it !!!!!All those drawers, wonderful green colour, thick old pine....SIGH. This is when I HATE my job!! How can I part with this...why would I want too ?

I console myself that it will go to a happy home. It has been used in an under house garage, so is grubby but will restore up so well. I toyed with the idea of using them for a TV cabinet...but I have decided  its off to ebay. 

Also off to ebay is

This fabulous old industrial fan.

Super groovy standard lamp

Hospital divider...from the Bundaberg hospital. Just needs some fabric. 

Mid century corner table...perhaps one of the nicest ones of these we have had with its ladder style rungs.

More industrial heaven in the form of large Painters trestles. I imagine so many uses for these. The last ones I had sold to a Wedding planner to use as part of beach wedding. They were covered in fairy lights and had muslin blowing off them....very dramatic!

Plus if that is not enough this amazing Snelling mid century Chair. Check out her curves....

Va Va Va VOOM!!

Hope you are all well, I will pop in and visit soon as I am having blogging withdrawals. 

Sweet and Sour and breeding lockers.

Everyday there is something I am organising or cleaning that makes me stop and go ...."Oh that is so sweet!"

Like when I was cleaning this suitcase and I found the key's inside with a tag that reads "Key's for Betty's Port". Who was Betty ? I love the name Betty and Nan has a favourite childhood doll with this name, so naturally this little tag made me nostalgic.

Then I stumbled upon these post cards.... They look sweet,  

but are definitely not so sweet.

They are from a series called "Please Miss Give me Heaven" and the first reads:

Papa I am so lonely sobbed a tearful little child. Since dear Mamma's gone to Heaven, Papa you've not smiled. I will speak to her and tell her that we want her to come home. Just you listen and I'll call her through the telephone. "
I know...I couldn't believe it when I read them...so morbid, so sad...who would you send them too? Why would you collect them ? But wait there is another one....

"If you please Miss give me heaven, for my Mamma's there. You will find her with the angels on the golden stair. She'll be glad it's me who's speaking, call her, won't you please?

For I want to surely tell her we're so  lonely here".......

Just so dreadful aren't they ? I tell you oldies go on about the good old days but please they were a morbid bunch. So in totally unrelated matters I'll show you the lockers and metal storage cupboards that are taking up my driveway. I have plans to give them a face lift. But like with all plans they may or may not happen.

These ones above are not that old but with a repaint I think could look really good in a kid's room or
a sports room etc.

These ones I do love they are much older and I think I want to keep some of the rust look but make them a bit cleaner looking...you know how I have a thing for rust.

They don't look much in the photos but wait for it...

Te dah!! Look at the cute storage inside. It would be perfect for shoes or in an office...what about as a TV stand with room for DVD's...so many uses.

Some one left their marbles behind...something else for me to find sweet.

Oh and I cleaned this office chair. It along with some other goodies will be heading over to the WAC and Garden Centre in the morning. I love the industrial feel it has.
