During my last visit home, I asked mum if she had any "old stuff" I could pilfer. Her first response was,"Paula, we're not dead just yet", then she took me to the shed to see what we could rustle up. Well dear web friends, I'm pleased to report that a Santa sack load of goodies made its way back to old Sydney town. The "vintage objects" inventory now sports:
- A brown 'Globite' school case
- Two petite perfume bottles
- A pair of long evening gloves
- A handmade lace bedspread
- Two ladies headscarves - one white lace and one black lace
- A set of metal measuring spoons
- A rusty blanket box key
- A copy of 'Paradise Lost' by John Milton
- A delicate pink translucent bag
- Two Aynsley (bone china) cup and saucer sets
This school case is certainly one of the highlights. It belonged to one of mum's older brothers, is in great condition and the name sticker is still intact. Can't wait to take some more photos and share them with you.
