My new FAVE Treasure....At least for now....hahahahaha....**wink**....!!

Hello Junk Lovers EVERYWHERE....!

I hope wherever you are you are enjoying FABULOUS weather like we are here in Melbourne....!!  It seems Spring MAY have come early as we're enjoying our FOURTH consecutive day of GLORIOUSLY mild weather for which I am ABUNDANTLY grateful....Bring on Summer I say....!!!!!

I'm at home today working on some pieces to take to The Vintage Shed tomorrow morning so I can't stay for long....I just wanted to pop in & show you a piece I rescued from the HR last week....I LOVE it to bits....It has the PERFECT patina....I can use it in EVERY room & it was FREE....Well....Aside from the 6 hour stint behind the wheel & the $30.00 worth of fuel my van guzzled as we pottered through the streets that is....!!!!!

A utilitarian piece with an industrial vibe, this piece was originally a drawer from a workbench & at a guess, due to the pitting evident  inside the pigeon holes, it was used to store nails....

So PERTY.... 
It's now a coffee & tea station on my kitchen bench....! 
Mason jars filled with JOE & special tea blends sit on top.... 
While my collection of THRIFTED glazed coffee mugs from the 70's reside inside....! 
**sigh**....It REALLY doesn't take much to make me happy.....! 
....Not REALLY....!

Well I must get back to it & out into the sunshine....!!

Cheers for now,
Tamarah  :o)

    Gorgeous! Great find, lovely to meet you - your stall looks absolutely gorgeous! I may just bump into you one day down at the Shed! I have lots of work to do at the Squiggly Stall - part of the saga of it being part time to my studies! Enjoy this gorgeous day!

    A coffee and tea station....I love it!! That drawer is perfect for your glazed mugs. The little bits of color on the outside of the box are a perfect match with your gold glazed mugs. Old boxes and drawers are a favorite of mine and this ones a beauty!!
