Sometimes the GLOOMIEST weather unearths the BEST Treasures....!

Hello again Shabby Vintage Junkin' Friends....!

Well....It hasn't occured often since I started blogging but I'm back with my SECOND post in one day....With my trip to the US & Junk Bonanza looming (I leave on the 14th....!) I'm ENDEAVOURING to clear the slate so I can concentrate on blogging about my adventures while I'm away .... :o) !!

Now because I managed to get quite a bit out of the way EARLY yesterday, I rewarded myself with some EXTRA time out in the HR....The weather was MISERABLE & it rained on & off however, it was mild & the Treasures were PLENTIFUL....!!

I'm REALLY happy with this line up....Wood, metal - junky industrial.

DELICIOUS green enamel light shade....Very YUMMY vintage suitcases....Wicker baskets, bird cage & picnic tin.  ALWAYS pick up the LARGE plastic buckets for Mr SVJ....They come in handy in the work shop....!

I have THREE green enamel shades now....I've found ALL of them this year & have outlayed a TINY $10.00 in total....!

LOVE this industrial metal cubby on wheels....!  ANOTHER galvanised Willow bin....You can NEVER have too many of these....!  The metal trike is a SWEETIE & the weeny terracotta pots were a GREAT find....I have SOMETHING in mind for these....You'll have to come to the NEXT SVJ Extravaganza though to see....  :o) !!


AWESOME black enamel camping pot....SERIOUSLY SEXY wooden drawer & hand drill with red wood top & handle.

Wicker fishing creel, turquoise typewriter, wooden artists box, a couple of wood frames with mesh screens, blue metal & wood ironing board, couple of metal tubs, GORGEOUS wood cabinet & 3 x army green steel lidded drawers....!

All this YUMMY piece needs is a couple of pieces of trim up the top on the sides & it's GOOD TO GO....!

Well that was MY Saturday & today I SKIPPED the Market (Was that a collective GASP I heard just now....hahahahaha....?) so I could spend the day making lists, making piles (of things to pack for the US) & CLEANING all my finds....!!

Now I'm off to find a glass of wine & catch up with all my FAVE blogs....!

Here's hoping your weekend was filled with WARMTH & Treasures too....!

Cheers for now,
Tamarah :o)
