crinkle & pink

some lovely crinkly glasses and a saccharine-pink crown lynn bowl were recently found. fairy parties will ensue...

clothes

the clothes i treasure most are the ones i have found - in piles on the side of the road in Melbourne, in grandparents wardrobes, given to me by mum or her friends. These clothes are always beautifully disheveled, musty from long years in cupboards, delicately chewed by the tiny mouths of moths, stained relics. Their imperfections speak of a lifetime of wear, of contact with the body, i like the way luxurious silk becomes tattered, faded, it reminds me of all that utopian modernist architecture, exquisite - stark white buildings becoming stained and leaky, worn out over time.

I heart, heart heart...

as far as I can tell it's a first edition...

henny-penny

ah! I couldn't resist, look at this pretty egg-cup I found! hurrah!

thriftiness is next to godliness?

this handsome, autumnal crown lynn jug was found today at the antique alley on dominion road. ooo it would be lovely if it were an actual alley full of antique shops, alas it is just a charming little store. this jug will be used for iced water when I have guests... although I fancy if I one day buy a bottle of whiskey, I could also use it to put water in whiskey too... I found lots of other treats today, but if you'd like to see them you have to come over for tea.
