Cuckoo

This little cuckoo clock was by far my best find this week. I spotted it at the Kirribilli markets on Saturday.  It is German made and hand painted in the sweetest floral. The little birdie is a tad loud popping his head out every hour so we have tucked the door closed.......(poor little guy).  It will be heading into Rosa's room but for now I'm quite taken with it on my kitchen wall. I bargained the guy down from $60 to $45.


A mix of buttons, vintage sewing fasteners, a french tape measure and milk glass vase were all only a couple of dollars each........


For a bargain price of $10 I spotted this shell light fitting in Vinnie's. I thought about it for a day and decided if it was still there when I got back I was meant to have it. It is either too ugly for anyone else or just my lucky day. The yellow is going to go perfectly with my yellow birdie cushions in our new back room.


And of course my weekly op shopping adventures would not be complete without a piece of pyrex in my favourite colour.


What did you score this week?  Check out Sophie's for some more fab finds.

  4. Oh lovely finds - that shell lampshade is not ugly at all, and that pyrex bowl is very pretty too. Cuckoo clocks are great fun, but I don't blame you for wedging the door closed!

  5. I love the shell lamp! I have a large one with translucent shells and rusted fake copper in my living room and a smaller pink shell one in my foyer.
    Great hawl!
