Have made two tiny purchases of late. Firstly I got this tray from my favourite op shop (I will not be divulging that contact). It reminds me of the Mad Men era.
It's so awful, that it's wonderful. I was born with an appreciation of kitsch.
This morning I picked up this very rustic little pottery bird from Green Tangerine, which is right next to the Paddington Antique Centre. I think it's from Mexico. They have a selection of colours and birds and are $22 each.
I just sprayed the old iron bed I'm using for a daybed on the front verandah. Hopefully, I'll be able to put it all together tomorrow.
Want that tray - it's so masculine, you just need a couple of chivas on rocks to go with!
ReplyDeleteOh those red bulls on your tray... I remember them well, my mum had them displayed with pride in our home when I was a child. Fond memories.
ReplyDeleteThe El Toro red bulls are worth a bomb these days, and they're very hard to find.
ReplyDeleteI love those birdies at Green Tangerine - I bought a pinky one and a lovely yellow lantern.

Those bulls are most likely Aldo Londi Bitossi bulls from Italy. The orange ones are harder to come by ... I have seen one at the restaurant Peasant.
ReplyDeleteIt is easier to come across the teal-coloured ones. The Bitossi company still produces ceramic bulls and other stuff.
