Trash and Treasure Finds: Watermelon on a Hot Day!

I've left you waiting long enough to see what my mysterious Trash and Treasure purchase was. Well here it is! A 2 foot long vintage papier mache watermelon. It was probably a store display or a theatre prop, but the Mr said I could buy it as it was only $2.

Don't ask me where it is going to live because I do not have an inch of free space to put it, but I could not possibly leave it there. It was funny as I bought it from the local retired antique dealer (who I purchase goods from and he has purchased items from me) who lives just up the road. He should have dropped it at my house instead of lugging it all the way to Canberra. No worries, it made its way back.




Below is a beautiful vintage conch shell lamp that I forgot to show last week. It may be heading to my etsy store soon, though it does look pretty good where it is.




A few industrial woollen bobbins, perfect for making into christmas trees or memo holders.



Finally a hard to find addition to my Bonzo collection; a vintage postcard with concertina photo cards inside. A souvenir from the National Parks, NSW, Australia. If you are interested you can see my Bonzo collection here.
