So there has been a little delay in showing you the treasures now waiting to be attended to on my dining table. Yesterday I happily downed tools for the day and excitedly headed off with Anita from
Fun and VJ's , in the Subaru, to visit our friend Jo from
Desire to Inspire in her new, amazing (old) abode, in fabulous Ipswich.(Yes you read right Ipswich is fabulous). Let me just say, as we drove down Jo's street looking for her house number it was suddenly more than obvious which one was Jo's. We let out a communal gasp as we ogled the verandah decor. Jo gave us the tour and every corner just oozes style. All I could think was..."And this is unrenovated...just imagine how it will look when she has worked her magic on it ??" You can read more about our adventures
here and the stunning new store in Ipswich, E S Traders, Jo introduced us to. Yes I know I should have taken pics...next time for sure !!
Now on to the dining table..don't forget you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them.
Beautiful Birds
Amazing ashtray, his jaw wobbles.
I love this milk jug and sugar bowl.
Large German vase.....yes he is staying...I have already somehow managed to make a space for him and will introduce him to his other pals soon.
I am in love with this girls face.
Another statue of Mary.
Sweet Brownie Downing Cup and Saucer. Hope you all have a great day. Remember if you see anything on the blog you love you can email us at

Katherine, I'd love to see what you swap out to keep the West German vase. That would be extremely interesting to see. Thanks for a great day too. xx

ReplyDeleteFabulous finds Katherine! I can't stand that you're so far away and I can't just stop by your shop! xx
ReplyDeleteI just got rid of a Subaru boot full to Anita and now you have a dining table top stuffed full of things I just have to have :P
ReplyDeleteLots of great goodies! That ashtray is scary!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe neither you or ANita took pics of Jo's home. You were both obviously too excited!!
What a fab haul! Love the German vase - hope he likes his new home. Sounds like you had a great day yesterday - pics next time please! Michelle

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell
ReplyDeleteand gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
"You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the
shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

it would generate any positive results. Thanks.

Hi, I think your website might be having browser
ReplyDeletecompatibility issues. When I look at your blog site
in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted
to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
ReplyDeleteI mean, what you say is important and all. But think about if you added some great images or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could
definitely be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Superb blog!
