Blogtoberfest 19 ... today I fell in love ...

 These glass fronted mail boxes stopped me dead ...

out the front of ...

ned on King Street, South Newtown!

Aren't they amazing?

 I remember them in blocks of flats ...

when I was a kid ...

I was so tempted ...

 then inside we saw ...

 this gorgeous haberdashery counter ...

inside some of the drawers ...

was old buttons & threads ...

 I quietly cried when I saw the price on this ...
a couple of years ago I sold mine for a quarter of this price ...

 this gorgeous gem was mind boggling ...

 you know how I adore drawers HERE ...

these sent my heart a flutter!

I had to keep reminding myself ...

more drawers = keeping more stuff  ...

today was stupendous in so many ways ...

watch this space!

Hope your Saturday was too!

Blogtoberfest 7 a theme = My Favourite Things = Drawers ...

... one of my fave things are sets of drawers!

The set in the middle bottom row ...

were built by my Dad in 1950s ...
when I inherited these ...
I was surprised & thrilled to find ...

my Dad had collected much of the same stuff I collect now! 

Top left hand side set ...

came from my Grandma's Singer sewing machine.

Top middle row is a bargain find ...

112 cms tall cabinet with 24 drawers.

Sets of drawers become treasure troves ...
as they usually end up holding treasures ...

that you sometimes forget you owned!

Hope you're having a lovely Blogtoberfest weekend!
