Flat out like a freakin' lizard drinking....Some pics of my US Treasures to tide you over....!

Hello Junking Friends everywhere....!

I woke this morning to find the GORGEOUS Margo had commented on my previous post, "We need a junkin post, I know you've got a lot to sort through but... Do i need to come down there and take you in hand to get you started-Again????"

Now for those of you who know Margo KNOW that you'd better pull your finger out & get movin' when she 'says' somethin' like this or your likely to find yourself in the middle of a 'junkivention'....hahahahaha....!!

Unfortunately, since my return to 'the pesky day job' on Monday I've literally been flat out like a lizard drinking & have had little time to sit still long enough to give my US posts the attention they DESERVE....I PROMISE to recitify this shortly & as my 100th post is JUST AROUND THE CORNER, there'll be a FAB giveaway to make up for my recent lack of posts....!!

In the mean time....Here are a few more pics of the Treasures that followed me home....!!






I found 10 YUMMY black & cream clocks during my travels....!







Around 21 graphically STUNNING pharmacy perscription boxes & 21 metal letters....** purr **







10 x HUGE DROP DEAD GORGEOUS enamel light shades in SCHMICK NICK...!!!







Cash register flags & wooden molds.







Metal letters & numbers, 100 x black & white cardboard numbers from a Church, typewriter keys & creamy dominoes.... ** sigh **







Sweet TINY Treaasures for my jewellery making....I had SO MUCH fun finding these trinkets....!







A girl can NEVER have too many 'bits & bobs'....!!







Printers blocks....WOOHOO....!







Childrens blocks....LOVE these....!!




Wooden shoe lasts, glass knobs, mason jar lids....




Another SWEET Terrier to add to my collection....I ADORE this little fellow....!!


Well there you are....I hope you've enjoyed seeing a few more of my Treasures....I WILL be back REAL SOON with my updates & DON'T FORGET my giveaway to celebrate my 100th post....!!!

Cheers for now,
Tamarah :o)

  7. Oh Tamarah, the little terrier is so cute, I miss seeing your collection on your header. Hope the 'pesky day job' isn't snowing you under too badly.

    Nearly the weekend! Woohoo!! Time more for hard rubbish :) While driving home the other day I saw an old chunky tv and a crap chair on the side of the road..I chuckled to myself and wanted so badly to take a photo to show you (I didn't have my camera). This is the extent of the hard rubbish around here.

    Have a good one, Tamara

  22. Yip blow the day job girl! Quite handy that most of your treasure was actually pretty much non breakable...no heartbreaks at the other end! We went to a Church fair last weekend & amongst the bits & pieces I found was.. a stack of vintage biscuit cutters (oops cookie cutters ; )..anyway bought them for a song for my nephew for his playdough..but one he did not get, why? because it is a terrier!! haha so I figure I better send him on to you so that you can make your blokes some friends for Christmas!! Can't stick a pic on here but email me if you have a sec (that's if you want him!!) rafiki@paradise.net.nz Love Catherine

  24. So Aussie Gal..How the heck did you get all your amazing finds back to your isle??? That was a good amount of junkin goodies to lug home, but ever so WORTH IT!!!
    I remember when you told Debbie your lizard pharse at Theresa's booth & she liked it soooo much she wrote it down. You must tell all your friends how much we all loved your Aussie sayings!!

  30. Tamarah!

    It's been a long time since I have had time to leave a comment. I've been quite busy. I spent this morning catching up on your travels to the US and your SVJ event and enjoyed it very much. I am so happy for you. I love what you are doing and hope very much that your visions for your event continue to grow beyond your expectations.

    Have a great day!!
