The Rare and the Unusual.....

We have lots of fun researching the items that come in....

Some are weird, some are wacky and we have lots 

that are just plain ugly but unusual.

It is amazing what you can learn about a piece when you 

search Google!

Anyhow here are a few items suitable for 

the hard to buy for, or the person who has everything!

Old Cast Iron Press .... can be 

used for flowers or books or 

could be an unusual doorstop!

Now this 1945s game is Australian, made by M & L Plastics

of Melbourne - called Race Play.

It is rare and can be found in the Queen Victoria Museum

in Melbourne. 

The idea is to pull all the horses out and then turn the 

handle to bring them back in - first in wins.....

There is Phar Lap, Windbag, Carbine, Bernborough, 

Peter Pan, Shannon and Flight.

It is made of Bakelite and as you can see there is

 1 Blue horse, 2 Red, 2 Black, 2 Green and a Brown.

Four of them have docked tails due to the passage of time 

and the original box is a little worse for wear 

but the set is in working order and great for the avid collector.

This is an old unusual Builders Chalk line - 

carved with Frog, Lizard and Bull.....

Anyhow we hope you are having a great week!

More goodies to tempt you.....

With Christmas rapidly approaching

 I have taken shots of the latest items in store now!

We are all tizzied up and ready for the holiday rush!

I can be quite creative when I put my mind to it....

so when I spotted some Deer antlers I bought the lot 

with decorating the shop in mind.... and after some 

tizzying with calico

Here is one of the pairs....

Would look great hanging from the mantle over a fireplace.

I have three of these in different sizes

and 5 singles.....

I also got my sewing arm on and, after seeing Judes bunting

www.judequiltcreations.blogspot.com

I learnt how to make them with the easy step by step guide 

http://www.myhomemadehappy.com/?p=54

thanks Josie Crafter!

So with the help (or hinderance) of my 12 year old son, Mackenzie

 (he had to do the sewing machine pedal)

I made two lots of 5 metres for the shop windows.

Here is the finished product with a set of antlers....

And the other window..... sorry for the glare!
