More Vintage Suitcase and Shadow Box LOVE

I"ve blogged it before and I'll blog it again...Suitcases...there is never too much to love about vintage suitcases. A few shots below of today's haul heading over to the WAC.

These two are my favourites today but I do like the style of the one below too

Kristen also took over these cute Shadow Boxes below. These were so popular in the 50's and 60's and why not I say. I think they are particularly fun in kid's rooms as a spot to arrange their treasures. From lego men to china figurines, shadow boxes give a collection a stylish home.

Apologies the photos are not good. Below is my favourite. I love the kitsch, cliche, mexican man decal.  Up in the corner is a little mirror. 

The paint techniques on the one above and below were all the rage in the 50's. Everything was at least two toned and edges were often highlighted in a different colour, as on the one above.

I hope you are all having a good week. 

Restocking at The Cottage Garden Nursery.

Had a super fast restock at The Cottage Garden Nursery this afternoon. I took over some new, old, furniture items such as the split cane two seater and one seater below.

I love this pair of vintage wooden figures.

The shade on this wonderful Italian lamp is just lovely.

Hope you are all having a good start to the week. The days are slowly getting longer here in Brissie and despite still having cold nights, the days are just glorious. I love this time of year when the breezes start having just a hint of the coming summer.

Up coming EVENTS at the WAC ~ Bare Bones Barber Shop and Classic Movie Screenings

The WAC is always a great place to visit but on the weekends it really comes alive. There is often lots of fab things on the agenda. I thought I would let you know of a couple of great things coming up soon.

Firstly Bare Bones Pop Up Barber shop is back again this Sunday the 29th, next to the Cinema in the WAC. If you haven't heard of Bare Bones then do the men folk in your family a favour and check them out. ALL my boys are regular Bare Bones Customers. 

They have a shop on the outbound side of Wynnum Road in Morningside but why not take the chance to see them at the WAC. They are old school Barbers for the modern age and boys of all ages love what they do. 

All photos supplied by Kimmie at Western Wac....find her on Facebook.

Also coming up is Classic Movie Screenings.

Saturday the 4 of August. See Born Yesterday and Gilda in a double Bill, screening in the Cinema in the WAC. Admission is $10 per person...bookings are best for this one on 38476796 as numbers are limited. Admission includes both sessions.
