It's been a BUSY Treasure Hunting month for me & Casa du SVJ is BURSTING at the seams....I've just spent the day processing the last of a MASSIVE haul & thought I'd show you the Treasures I've set aside for myself....I mean....A Junkers gotta have some 'blang' right....hahahahaSNORT....!!
** Pertyyyyyyyyy **
The FIRST Tea Chest I've EVER found in condition I'd be happy to have in my home....!
Dated 1976 it has GREAT typography....!
When I saw this BEAUTY I was smitten....I immediately started to calculate the price I would attach to it after cleaning & a possible visit with Poly....Then....The lady I got it off looked at me & said...."Are you going to do it up....?"
I replied...."No, it's PERFECT as it is....I'll clean it & maybe seal it so it stays that way forever...!"
And then she said...."It was mine when I was a little girl...." She had that look as she spoke of someone who was parting with something that meant a great deal to her....
And that SEALED it for me....This GORGEOUS tricycle will live here at Casa du SVJ with us.... :o) !!!!!
PS: As I was driving off I looked in my rear view mirror & her Husband was cuddling her....They were chest to chest in their driveway just standing there....His hand caressing her head....so YES....This tricycle aint goin' anywhere....!!!!!!!!!!
Gone....But NOT forgotten....!
Those who know me well KNOW I'm a suitcase HO....I have 27 x odd in my personal collection....The MAJORITY of which house my Vintage Christmas Collection....I've NEVER seen a small two tone suitcase before so this little SWEETIE's staying put....!!
It's been forEVER since I found this style of suitcase....Love....LOVE....L.O.V.E cream canvase leather trimmed pieces....**sigh**....
I was so HAPPY to found this HUGE glass jar....They make PERFECT display pieces when it comes to corralling smalls....!!
The PATINA of this wooden SLADES box is TO DIE FOR....The wood is weathered & smooth & just so SEXY....**wink**....

I am SO INTO these at the moment....I'd like to do a WHOLE wall with them....!!
OK so that's it for the time being....I hope you're all having a FABULOUS week....!!
