Taking husbands to garage sales is not a good idea

As you can tell from the above heading, I took my DH garage sale-ing with me on Saturday. Bad idea, very bad idea. I'm normally pretty good with what I spend (really, I am - lol), but having hubbie peering over my shoulder every time I picked something up was very off-putting. He kept muttering "how much is it?" and "haven't we got enough junk?" Will these men never understand, you can never have enough "junk" as they call it.

Anyhoo, I was a good girl, there wasn't a lot about anyway, the weather was lousy & I think some of the sales got cancelled, although I did get some goodies for ebay.

But the really good thing was, we ended up in Leura, which for all you who don't know, is a gorgeous village a little higher up in our beautiful Blue Mountains. So I got to have Devonshire Tea in one of my favourite Antique stores, Beautiful Bygones.

They have a little restaurant/cafe right in the middle of the store, which is a beautiful old turn-of-last-century home. Nothing in there I can afford though. And yes, guess who forgot to take her camera, again!

Oh well, I promise to next time. But I can tell you that the scones, jam & cream were delicious.

So, this is what I bought.

This is actually a table which has been padded, covered & used as a seat. I quite like it the way it is. My pic is at an odd angle though, I wanted to show the fabric. Very French Chic, I think. This is off to ebay.

I just love this , she looks soooo elegant, doesn't she. It's on canvas. Very tempted to keep her, but she's going to ebay too.

Got this lovely old shabby frame too, I think I will keep this one, maybe another coat of paint & then rub it back a bit.

These are some of my things on ebay at the moment.

Gorgeous vintage cake plate just covered in the prettiest pink roses, daisies & tulips.

This was a daggy old silverplate dish which was past it's prime, so it's had several coats of Satin White & now it looks lovely & fresh. It's decorated with gum nuts, leaves & ferns. Very Aussie. Guess who made the cuppies?

Don't you just love this pretty pink & rosey tray. I have a thing about pretty trays, I just loooove 'em.

So, now I had better go do some blog hopping & see what all you other gals are up to.

Have a great day.

Hugs, Coll :-}
