Garage Sale Heaven

Election day was the day for garage sales. Where there was a polling booth there was a garage sale and I was in heaven. Here are just some of my finds.


When I saw this painting covered in dust, I nearly fell over in my haste to snatch it up. The frame is lovely but the image is divine. This looks like water colour and pastel and the date is 1920. I paid $3.00 for an original piece of artwork. Unbelievable!

This 1950's dress is made of soft cotton, just perfect for the warmer months.
I just need to loose a kilo or two.

How cool is the leather on these boots, and such a pretty dusky blue.

This small case is a real gem. The girl I bought it from said it was her grandmothers who used to travel a lot. It looks like it might be from Bali in the 1970's. I just love it.
