Well I made it through the first day back at work, blimey it was yuck. I am already planning the Christmas holidays :)
As I type the Mr is flying to Queenstown, New Zealand, for a conference. The kids and I are all alone until Sunday, I already feel pooped! Hopefully he will take a few photos.
I did go out at lunchtime today to the tip shop and came home with an armful more.....

Wow, what an awesome lot there Tam,love the bickie tin and the yacht mirror in particular.About the grandfather pic-I once saw a handpainted portrait of a small child in an opshop. How could someone part with that? Hubby wasn't too keen for work on Monday morn either and I've found all those missing dishes!
Love your treasures. Specially the yacht mirror and wooden office organizer.
Great finds - glad you adopted grandfather!

I had to do a double take when I saw that fries phone. That is SO cool. I can't believe you find such good stuff at the tip shop. I love the yacht mirror too & the wooden organiser. I always feel sad too when I see old photos of people, but I guess there maybe no one to leave them to. I hope the week passes quickly without your Mr. I'm sure he'll LOVE Queenstown. Xx
Adoro i barattoli!Baci,Rosetta
Hi Tam...hope you're not missing your man too much and are enjoying the change of pace...as always you've found the BEST vintage stuff EVER...the french fry phone is an absolute stellar find...lOVE it...also yes it is sad when really old photos are just thrown away...l'm sure he's happy to have been found by you...The bridal flowers and old roses tin are a dream.
Your red white and blue theme has a decidedly British feel with the bulldog portrait on the wall.
