Sunday Wrap Up....Treasures abound....!

It was a GREAT day at the market for me today....! I scored a STACK of Treasures & had myself a ball talking to vendors & bumping into buyers that visit with me when I share a stall with my friend....!

I spent around $200- with the most expensive item being this beautiful pine hutch....It would originally have been part of a larger unit however, the cupboard part is long gone..... ** sigh ** It was $60- & will look FABULOUS when I'm finished with it....Just a FEW minor tweeks needed....!

*** Don't forget to click on my pics to make them larger. ***

LOVE the sensual lines of this vintage wrought iron planter & this sweet little red trike is ADORABLE....!!
I SO have a THING for galvanised pieces ESPECIALLY buckets....LOVE peely red ones....!!! The stool is so sweet....Black rusty metal.....I'll introduce him to my friend 'poly' & he'll get a new hardwood top which I'll leave plain for an industrial look....The brackets are DELISH & the slate was a LOVELY piece to find....!

I actually found the rake head in the HR last week but it was still kicking about in my van so I had to show it too....!! I can NEVER resist the old metal door handles & if they're painted & chippy they SO have my name on them....The box you see here has TWELVE knobs & a bunch of plates....Projects Projects PROJECTS....!! Some more brass hooks & another can of Pick Up sticks....Now I have TWO....Red AND blue which will be used in my office as fun storage.....! The kewpie dolls are TOO SWEET & celluloid to boot.....LOVE those..... :o) !! Then these little finger puppets are just TO DIE FOR.....I really don't know how I'll part with any of these pieces.....!!


A handful of Christmas ornies....!!!

A FILTHY baking tray.....For small buns I think.....It needs a GOOD SCRUBBING but once done....SO many uses.....!!!

I've ALWAYS wanted a croquet set & now I have one....This is a BEAUTY & the patina....Well....ALL I can say is BE STILL my beating heart....Just LOOK at those chippy balls....If I didn't have to go to work tomorrow I'm sure I could just sit & look at them all day.....hahahahahaha.....!!!

I'm actually going to run the Felder (mouse) over this piece just lightly....There is some yummy blue & cream paint under the white so I'll see how it looks afterwards & go from there....If it doesn't look 'faux'....I'll simply give it a clear finish.....Then I just need to decide what to do with the shelves & find some ply to back it with.....!

Well I'm POOPED....ALL of the pieces above with the exception of the baking tray, have been cleaned & now it's time to refuel so I'm off for a glass of wine.....AND dinner.....hahahahahaha....!

Hope you had a GREAT day....!

Cheers,

Tamarah :o)
