Bell Primary fete and Golden Mary fete

As it's close to Christmas, most of my purchases this weekend were gifts, so unfortunately I can't show them here. My one purchase for myself was this gorgeous enamelled teapot. The lid is attached to the handle with a chain




it's from Yugoslavia - $2

However, I did have an extra addition to my house...




...with the introduction of my new housemate! She bought this in Newcastle a few years ago for $2. As you can imagine, I have lots of stuff. Enough stuff, in fact, to fill a 3 bedroom house. This means that there isn't much room, for others who live with me, to add stuff to the shared areas of the house. Control freak, Me? No!

I might take a break from Garage Sailing/Fete-ing for a while as it's been a bit full-on these last couple of weeks. I'm feeling a bit guilty about the amount of consumerism I'm partaking in. But, we'll see. I may not be able to hold myself back!

nice teapot from a country that has blown apart into many fragments- was the chain symbolic of the tito era?
from what i remember of the garage sailing season, it all dries up after xmas. therefore you canNOT afford to slacken off just yet!

WHOA! JUG! That is exquisite.

Hey Anna, saw your submission to Craft Victoria.

I have this thing for bushrangers, the reasons for which may become clear in time, but just wanted you to know that it gave me one of those attacks of covetousness.

Beautiful.

I know, I know and I probably won't be able to stop myself anyway. And thanks, Shula, I haven't been to the auction yet but I'm heading up today. I'm about to post some more images to Davenator of more of the tin lids.
