The 50c cool thing from The Salvation Army

Lovely with lemons.
Lemons, it's time for your closeup!
Holidays are the best time to scour the op shops; work gets in the way of a good trawl.
So, Rex and I dropped into Salvos on the way to the second-best coffee in Tasmania yesterday, and I found this thing.
I looked at it and thought 'nah' (someone had artistically(!) painted two-tone green fruit, grapes maybe, on it), then I looked again and thought 'yes. I will buy you, only if I get rid of two things I already own'.
So, that's my new thing, buy to replace, not add to.
Plus, I sanded the grapes off.

Cool thing and lemon-coloured lamps. Mad synchronicity!
Then, later in the day, I looked here and saw the same thing - the cool thing.

Penguin takes flight


Futurama cafe machina
Lovely pressed tin ceiling.
Eiffel chairs.
Original tiles and beautiful lead-glass windows.
Penguin's Thomas' family store was salvaged from developers and it's been lovingly divided up.
A small, but lovely new space, by the lovely Tanya, is now on Main St.
Just up the road is Nest, a cute homewares store run by the lovely Natalie, formerly of Mason & Mason, which stocks my favourite Glasshouse Fragrances candles.
Ah, Penguin.

Oh deer(s)...



Feathered friends


Lovely feathers from the lovely Tina's daughter's pet bird (gathered from the bottom of the cage - the bird's cage not Bianca's). Will be made into fabulous jewellery ASAP.

Oh Vienna!


Cool haus on NY Times' website.

Orange crush

Good morning (windows need a wash).

Nice wheels and a nice price, but bathroom renovation comes first (pics to come soon - YAY!).

Chic dining in LA LA land


A cool-looking room from The Selby.

Terrazzo toes


Best feet forward with my studded-bag-carrying sister, not to be confused with this sister.

Nothing to MONA about...

Destination MONA. The coolest ferry terminal going 'round.

All aboard the glamour ferry.

Tickets to ride to MONA land.

Art work on the floor.
