garage sailing

there's nothing like a good garage sale to get me excited. 
i'm sure my fellow junk, i mean vintage collectors out there understand what i mean. 


a yearly event at one of my favourite old homes in the area. always good stuff to be found & a bargain to be had. the garage and beautiful old garden were filled with some amazing old things. unfortunately not much in the way of furniture this time.

these are my fabulous finds piled up on our sunny deck in the weekend sunshine. i added my shells and succulents & thought this would all look right at home at bondi markets.
a couple of vintage crates, a rustic old lantern, a kitsch gold pineapple, bottles, a turquoise frame & fabric to make a cushion with, a hat to add to the collection & a vintage bag i thought sophie would like.




see you later!

  22. So glad you found some wonderful things. I had a bust of a morning out looking. Nothing to be had. The good news is I came home with all my money and I had more time to clean everything I had already brought home last week from the worlds longest yardsale. Happy hunting!
