Old little tin

This little tin is old.  We've been in Australia since 1971 and I'm pretty sure my mum didn't bring it with her from where we were (Italy).  So that means she had corns in the early 70's in Australia and kept the nifty tin.  When the contents were used up my father started using it as a little 'knick-knack' tin.  Then finally it was passed onto me last year.

They aren't that rare, because I've seen a few on ebay sell for 99 cents!

Gold rose spoons

I found these spoons for $1 each.  Simply adorable but the photos don't do them any justice!



That says 'Rostfrie', which means 'Stainless' in German.


After a hard days work....

.... one needs a free funny looking neck massager to melt the stresses away.



After that, admire these free ceramic candle holders (and watch them pray, of course).

Serenity now....

Ding-a-ling

 A whole $2 got me this cute, perfect bell.  I'm still trying to figure out if it's made of glass or crystal.

Free Fake Nails

My mother passed on a packet of fake nails that she kept from the early 1970's.  What a groovy thing to have kept from all those years ago!  




Most of the time it irritates me that my mother is such a hoarder... but in some cases, I'm glad she is.

What's something that hangs from the ears?

They call them earrings.  I picked these up for $1, simply because I loved them.  And by the way, they were still sealed in the packet at the op shop - most important and hygienic!  And by the way again, that's the real colour of my hair and I'm proud of it.  ;)

Oh dear, more free lighting!

At the rate I'm going, I could open up a lighting store!


This one isn't pink... it's white milk glass.  There is a pink light globe making it look all pretty and feminine.  It was in the kitchen, until the one below came along.   Now it shall be placed in the laundry room.




This one is a heavy boy and looks magnificent in the kitchen.  :)
