Garage sale goodies.

I have such a sore throat, It feels like tonsilitis. I blame the bank.

On the way to work this morning dad and I passed a garage sale. We stopped in and got the following goodies for $8 about 3 quid in total.

Green Metal Jug

Gumball Machine

Pink Lamp

Orange Lamp

Bag of Pearl earrings

2x Japanese Jewellery Bags


1950's salad set


Green rooster Ashtray

Set of Vintage tin Coffee, sugar and flour cannisters

Dad found this retro telephone seat which is in perfect condition by the side of the road. Here every month or so, each suburb is allowed to put out 2mtrs of large peices of rubbish ie furniture ect to get picked up by the council for free. This is mine and dad's favourite time (and unfortunatly alot of other peoples!) and we go around hunting for things. We've found some amazing things like antique meat safes and our computer table which is a vintage sewing table for free. I have already one of these, but its good now cause we can have one in each longue!
On the 2nd day stevie was here, wavell heights a suburb between mum and dads house was having theres and out jumped stevie grabbing everything in sight! He keeps on asking when near by suburbs are having theres. He's got the bug!

I am going with mum to Marions markets tommorow, which is where I got the art deco plates, as shes having a stall. We're going early so I might find some goodies then.

This week I put over $800 of home things on lay by as Kmart (like wal mart) was having a huge sale, some of these included a 7kg washing machine, retro red mixer and blender, red toaste and kettle, set of 10 teflon red saucepans and fry pans, a teflon wok, an iron, 4x large towels, 2x bath mats, a retro drinks dispenser which was reduced from 75.00 to 16! its in the shape of a petrol bowser!, a huge selection of red kitchen cannisters, a whole set of pink melamine plates and bowls, 2x small green japanese bowls,a stanless steel microwave and more things I cant remember!
Dad's friend is giving us there fridge, which is handy as I want a smeg fridge which are like $2500 so it allows us to save up for one!



Apart from the telephone seat, dad found a set of 12 art deco like lanterns to put in the garden, two swingback chairs in perfect condition for the verenda and an old fashioned drinks trolley which was in great condition, he sanded down the gold handles and painted them a lovely yoke!
