Too cute! Big and Small vintage Metal stacker chairs





These chairs you either loath or love....and I have a confession, I love them!! Yes I can hear you saying, we get so many fab chairs why these retro metal things...I don't know, maybe it's because I'm the daughter of a preacher man, we all remember them from church and school halls. I have always loved their shape and their industrial pressed metal backs. Perhaps the image taken from Australian Country Style of similar chairs being used as fun outdoor seating will sway you. If not look at the tiny baby ones....sooo cute! The bigger ones will be listed on ebay tonight and the baby ones will be off to The Cottage Garden Nursery, 999 Stanley St East, East Brisbane.

Cotton Reels and Terminators.......






You never know what you are going to come across in this game. Today it was one extreme to the other. 100's of old large wooden cotton reels ( 3rd photo shows comparison to usual size reels) and a larger than life sized terminator metal figure (measures over 2m) are just the start of some of the items we picked up today. Though not from the same house it must be noted. I actually really like this fellow and wish I had a big rambling garden. He would be fun to come across at the end of a path or around a bend, don't you think?
