Get your Peter Brock signed Targa Hat here!!

Its that time of year again - Targa time!!

One of the many benefits of having the shop where we do is that we get to see it all: Accidents, Police Cars, Ambulances, Hogs, and now all the Targa Cars.

This week we have had a BMW motorcycle go over going around the corner, a green hyundai ran a red light and ploughed into an Examiner car and lots and lots of Targa Cars.

Now for the new pieces in the shop.....

here is a beautiful Jacobean Hall Table with Drawer..... the handles are carved wolves heads.

This is one of my favourite pieces and I would love to find a spot for it at my place!

An original signed oil in a lovely gilt and creme frame.

Two Jacobean Palm Stands.

A very early large glass fruit bowl.

1906 Noiseless Typewriter ...... not at all quiet.....

One of our new phones - rather cute don't you think?

They are both from the Automatic Electric Company.

This is a beautiful 1960's piece from Finland.

Antique Wheelchair - you can't do it yourself though!

World War 11 Military Helmet - really heavy and would have been horrible to wear!

Items of Interest......

Its's been a while, I know, but things have been busy in the shop and at home and there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do it all!!

George 3rd left the shop recently and he was the MOST magnificent beast we have ever had in. He was huge and gorgeous and had eyes that followed you (which was quite spooky) - it got to the stage where I had to say hello to him every morning just to make sure he wouldn't spook me throughout the day!

Here is one of our recent purchases ..... a nice simple Art Deco half round hall table.

The hen's head moves and pecks at the seeds all day!

This retro 50's/60's Wind Up Alarm Clock is a recent addition to the shop. 

A Wembley Flying Duck's Vase with a Vivid Green and Amber Glaze.

Very different and unique.

World War 1 Military Tank Headset of Australian origin.

This is one of our newest phone additions..... It is an ATM phone complete with identification plate with the date of use 1932.

It was made for use in the mines and to make a call you had to wind it up to get the exchange's attention. No number dials were used in those days!!

This Siemens House phone with Teledex is also from the 1930's and completely original.

Check out the cord!

How Retro and Bright is this?? Nothing like a Yellow Adler Tippa Typewriter to brighten up your desk.

In working order and ribbons are still available on Ebay.

These are a pair of Cast Iron Angel Lights or Sconces.

They are quite a size and would have held a lamp in the bowl section.

They are quite ornate and have the cherub playing a trumpet on the arm.

This 60's Japanese decorative plate with the scene of Mt Fuji is quite stunning and would brighten up any room.

The bushes and landscape seem to have been sown and could be a bunka punch creation.

Ever seen a highchair like this one?

It is rather unique with its rear cupboard.

Lovely finish to the timber - could be used for your doll or teddy bear collection.

One of our display cabinets with all its goodies!

This cabinet has our beautiful jewellery on display..... Some 9ct Gold...... Sterling Silver and Marcasite and a lovely selection of costume jewellery including clip on earrings.

Who forgets their Wedding Anniversary???? We do!!

Well thats what happens when you work 7 days and your husband is the president of the local soccer club and the seasons about to start!

So as I wrote out an invoice yesterday I looked at the date..... and wondered why it seemed so familiar..... and then it hit me..... we have been married 11 years.

Amazing..... how time flys when you are having fun.... ha ha!

Amazing..... how you still love the man as much and more than you did 11 years ago.

Amazing..... how he is still gorgeous (even for the extra pounds) and can still make me swoon.

Ain't love grand?

Religious Splendour....

We were blessed (good pun) to take in this Ivory covered Prayer Book.... no sooner had it hit my desk - it was sold!



It has its own Velvet covered case to keep it safe.



There is a Gold engraved medallion on the front, and in the back of the book there was an inscription to the lady who it was given to, from her husband on their wedding day!

What a lovely present.

Tasmanian Dance Card Holder Anyone??

Ok so now I am teasing you .... just a tad!
This beautiful piece of Tasmaniana/Australiana is not for sale!



It is one of the most amazing pieces I have seen. Imagine going to the local dance with your dance card and pen sitting in this holder and wearing it on your wrist like a beautiful piece of jewellery.



It is Sterling Silver and made by one of the oldest known Jewellers in Hobart - W Golding. The detail is fantastic showing the two city's and the Southern Cross is mapped out with the Turquoise stones.



I was lucky enough for one of my clients to bring this piece into my shop and let me take photo's of it to show you all. He was just teasing me with it .... but what a nice tease!

It's been a while... nothing like working 7 days!

We are now OPEN 7 Days! Monday to Friday 10 am till 4 pm and Saturday & Sunday 11am till 4 pm.

Recycled Relix's shop number is 03 6333 8866 or 0400 505 555.

Pop in and say hello!



Here is one of our special pieces - an Aqua bluey green Uranium Glass bowl.... very rare color!



Beautiful Victorian courting couples, glass and with brass frames.



Some more interesting bits!





Our front counter....



Through to the first room....



Through to the second room....





Some view's of our rustic room .... everyone loves its authenticity....






A few view's of the third or kitchen room....



Here is a view of the second room.... notice the new pieces?



Another new piece to the collection is a 1910's Cedar chest of Drawers. This piece was from an estate and had resided in the one house since it was purchased as a present for the daughter. Not often you could say that about a piece of furniture.




This is one of my favourite pieces - an Art Nouveau dressing table. The Harlequin pieces compliment it and Ralph, the Sylvac terrier, is gorgeous.



What a find this was! Marta is a biscuit barrel and is highly collectable.

Amazing what some new items do for the rooms.....

Our Miners couch has had some tweaking with new handcrafted, stencilled cushions and throw to match. And notice the beautiful Cordial sets in the window - isn't the cobalt blue one stunning?



Now I really don't have a dead animal fettish even though it seems so. These are my latest fashion items displayed on my new model.



This beautiful baby blue Art Deco cake stand is in perfect condition with an unusual black bakelite base.



Now for the unusual.... a vintage Waddy .... and an original Launceston Tram Ticket Puncher which still works.



Now here is a new animal for the shop.... we already have Fred who greets the customers at the front door, Pete the Parrot.... George (Fred's brother) and now....Max the spaniel.



Oh and I forgot .... Frank the Pheasant..... isn't the painting on glass beautiful!



Here is a french Vannes centrepiece bowl... stunning in real life.



Can you see all the new additions to the kitchen room.....



Sorry for the exposure.... but just had to show you some more of the kitchen room ... and the wonderful Captains Chair.
