New to the WAC this week....

Lots of new goodies this week at the WAC. 


Large vintage crucifix
Lovely glassware
typewriters

This one dates from the Second World War and was used in the repatriation office. 
Lots of new old soft drink bottles.
Cheeky Mexican

Plane cigarette lighter
Groovy speed skates
Old boxes and crates
Enamel industrial light shade. Great mid size. 
I really like this card box. It has a Renaissance theme which appeals to me. I can imagine in my Arts student, Uni days, wanting this. 
Even the interior is lovely.

Silky Oak stool with nice heart detail on the ends.

The stool is sitting on an unusual sort of preparation table that has a shelf underneath. 



Cuckoo clock
Groovy orange step shelf, perfect to jazz up a kids room.
Lovely old jars with glass lids perfect for collections of shells, buttons or lollies.
And I am very brave...coming up below......
....lovely West German Floor Vases!! Three of the beauties. I know,why am I not keeping them ? Well you know I have so many (sigh) and my mother taught me it was rude not to share. I love the caramel colour of the middle one...I love it so much I could just lick it. ( Don't worry potential buyers, I haven't actually licked it. ) Hope you are all having a good week. The weather is starting to cool down here in Brissie and the days are just glorious.

Retro Office ~ Typewriters

 I love the look and sound of old typewriters. Even if you don't use it they can look great on a side or office table to add a bit of retro charm to a room. I cleaned up these ones today.
                                             Fun two tone colours.


 This one is electric. Makes a good whir when it is on and has the classic gunshot sound when you tap the keys.
                                  I like the smooth shape.

We also have this Olivetti counting machine.  Hope you are having a lovely start to the weekend.
