Hard Rubbish is the place to be....Kerb shoppin' is the life for me....!

(Poached from Greenacres theme song....!)

Hard Rubbish is the place to be.
Kerb shoppin' is the life for me.
Streets spreadin' out so far & wide.
Keep your antiques, I preFER the junky side.

At home is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic sittin' in the van all day.
I just adore a DVD or two.
Darling I love you but I have better things to do.

...I'm bored.
...I SCORED.
...Death stare.
...DON'T care.

I am your wife.
Good bye, peaceful life.
Hard Rubbish we are there....hahahahahaha....!!
 
When the first street I drove in saw me score this little red tool box....I suspected I was gonna have a GREAT afternoon....!



And I DID....When I pulled up several hours later to take pics 'cause I was losin' the light my van looked like this....** happy happy HAPPY dance **

AWESOME industrial drawer unit....'Little Red'....Two VERY sexy galvanised bins & 1960's toy pram....WOOHOO....!!

The sense of balance has been restored to 'Tamarah world'....hahahahaha....

Two 3 x tiered metal stands, 2 x bird cages, 2 x BRILLIANT wooden ironing boards with green metal legs....'Oh HAPPY day...!!'

Cream metal vegie stand....FUNKY green wooden tool box with drawers....Sweet little blue wooden box....Green Vacola canning thingo....Glass sweets jar, Japan coffee cup & wooden spool....!

Cream persinware scales WITH YUMMY green plate....!

Willow carnations rubbish bin....Milk bottle & assorted vintage jars....Chisel, spatula & scissors....!!

INDEED....I feel like balance HAS been restored....Now I'm READY for another FIVE at 'the pesky day job'....!!

I'm off to find a glass of wine, finish answering some questions & catch up with my blog mates....!!  Wherever you are, I hope you've enjoyed a relaxing TREASURE filled weekend....!

Cheers for now,
Tamarah :o)

  8. Morning Tamarah :) I had a crazy a$$ dream last night that you had a booth set up at our local library (of all places) and I got there too late!..the plant stands were already sold! They must have been playing on my mind last night...hee hee...that and the herbal tablets I have been taking for my liver (the wild yam in it gives me crazy dreams!)

    I might have a look into flickr...sounds interesting.

    Have a great day at work :) Tamara

  9. Hi Tamarah, So very pleased that we can all check out your hard rubbish once again. The hard rubbish angels were surely following you around on Sunday. What a great stash. I nearly started making my monkey noises, it was all so good. Can't wait until next week.
