op shop show off....no typo!








I could not leave this little blue beauty behind. Even though she is rusted, discoloured and beyond saving, I fell in love with her.
I didn't find her in an oppy but my adorable local florist was selling off some of her shop props and lucky me just happened to call in to the shop that morning!!. 
the perfect addition to my Christmas present from my lovely wife....which is the new to me retro sideboard which I will annoy you with in another post!
see that sweet little jug up on the shelf.....a gift from my darling jane....im so spoilt!.
when max posted about her gorgeous typewriter I knew I had to show you mine!
a great start to another year of treasure hunting.

  2. Oh she's just beautiful, you lucky thing great timing to score here. Talking about scoring, you have the best wifey to spoil you with a retro sideboard. But my live you must hurry up and bother us immensely with a look at it. X

  3. Love the colour ... she's a beauty.
    I thought this might have been a post warning us against going to Typo ... the shop. At which point I would have had to admit that it was too late ... and that I have a bit of a secret crush on Typo ... the shop.
    But it wasn't ... so it's all ok ... carry on ... as you were ;0)
