Oranges and Lemons Omnibus and don't forget to check out the skips

I took these Giant clam shells to the garden centre on Saturday, I thought they looked great with lemons and oranges in them. The one with the lemons in them sold yesterday so in future all I will buy is two bags of lemons for display rather than a bag each of lemons and oranges for variety.

Retro metal phone table and patio setting that came from the same groovy, retro, house as a bar I have pictures of below.

I love old typewriters...

and old books.

On to the WAC.....

Super groovy bar with lots of fab features,

like the tea towel holder and cupboards,

like this fab pull out drinks tray.

Recliner mid century chairs, pictured is one of three pairs.

The windows at the WAC suited last weeks weather....full of umbrellas. So clever but hard to photograph.

  We went to a house last week that already had two full skips in the driveway. Always remember to ask the people if you can look at what they have thrown away just incase you can use what they have thrown away.

This was the first piece that caught my eye, fortunately this old art deco gal had no chips from being thrown away.

This beswick horse saldy was not so lucky and had to be put down.

Also remember (but for some you would have to be a hard core vintage lover like me to attempt ha) to check the bins when you see full skips, as folks often fill them up at the same time when clearing an old house.

This is how I found this bin when I opened the lid.

The treasure trove went all the way through (yes this meant I had my head in a bin...not for the faint hearted) it was like they moved the black bins into the lounge room and emptied the china cabinets straight into them.

Here is just some of the items I salvaged.

While a lot was broken, from just being thrown in, it was amazing what survived intact

Of course you cannot break old collectable tea towels

Hope you all have a good week.
