Like a card table with four chairs. Great for card games with
friends. Even better when you have young visitors to feed, and
no room at the dinner table. $30. Tucked behind it, a table that
folds up. $20, it’s 150 cm long (5 feet). Useful for crafts and
folding the laundry.
A set of dishes with pretty blue cornflowers around the edges
brings to mind a summer’s day. $30. On the shelf above them,
a collection of cornflower crystal. Various prices.
Two umbrellas from Indonesia. The black and red one on the
upper shelf is a Balinese sacred umbrella. $15. The one
underneath which is mainly red, is $10. Both are in very good
condition.
Add style to a neglected corner with a pendant light. Its origami-
inspired metal and glass panels cast soft shadows and good
light. $5.
Weather forecasts are pretty accurate these days, thanks to
computer modelling. But if you want to do your own weather
report, you need a barometer. By reading atmospheric
pressure it can tell you whether a storm’s on the way, or blue
skies are ahead. Our barometer is $12.
Lots to see around the cashier’s area. In one of the display
cases, a small collection of vintage Lionel 0 gauge railway set
pieces, including 3 rail tubular track (8 curved, 3 straight), 4 rail
cars (caboose, oil tanker, coal car and open car), and a
multi-volt transformer (in AS IS condition). $25 for everything.
A sturdy solid oak coffee table with a drawer for $35 is next to
the train display. On the table, a hat that combines geeky with
cool. It’s made with Nova Scotia tartan. $4.
Behind the cashier, two dolls’ tea sets. One is decorated with
tiny blue flowers for $6. The second has charming animal
scenes painted on the teapot, cups and saucers. $5. If you
purchase them, be sure to ask the cashier for the Boots box
they came in. There is only one box. It’s vintage so it has
some damage.
In the jewelry case, a couple of necklaces that can transform a
ho-hum outfit into something worth a second look. One is a
rich mix of chunky black, honey coloured and gold beads. It’s
worth collecting as well as wearing. $7. The second is a multi
strand black seed waterfall necklace. The decorative spacer
bars and small button fastener, give it an ethnic feel. $7.
Elsewhere in the store, two richly hued velvet cushions in teal
with white beading and embroidery are $8 each. Three
artworks to remind you of the seaside. Two are paintings with
turquoise and tan areas, and there’s a sepia toned photo of
rocks as the tide goes out. $15 each.
A vintage nylon string acoustic guitar with a PRO label stuck on
the front. The guitar seems to be in good condition but it needs
re-stringing. $20.
A new use for a drinks table. Instead of w**e bottles, roll up
your bathroom towels to store them in the rack underneath.
Maybe you can come up with a creative way to repurpose this
handsome piece of furniture. $25.
In children’s, a selection of fairy dolls. These little personages
have gossamer wings, wonderful outfits and beautiful hair. 50
cents each.
If you love animated films, check out “The Art of Madagascar
Escape 2 Africa”. It’s a behind-the-scenes look into the
production, creative process and visual effects of the
Dreamworks team who made the movie. By Jerry Beck, an
authority on the making of modern film, the book is full of
artists’ character sketches, scenery and insider knowledge. In
the book section at the rear of the store. $12.
A final note before you make your escape 2 the Daisy..puzzles
