I am passionate about reducing landfill and recycling beautiful old pieces that have had a great life story to tell. I seldom buy anything "new" anymore and try to avoid "Made in China" as much as possible. It's easy to buy cheap, new items that everybody has. There's nothing like a unique vintage item or items in your home (that NOBODY else has!) to add interest and appeal to yourself and your vi
sitors alike. Quality vintage pieces are like an investment or asset. They will NEVER be created EVER again and they only become rarer, more unique and and more in demand. These pieces were made to last and with the right love and care, they usually stand the test of time!! Although they may be replicated and copied in a factory in China, the original pieces can never be repeated or reproduced!!! I simply adore buying items from beautiful old people who have loved and cared for their belongings their whole, entire life and consequently treasured and looked after these items intently. I love to see these items passed on to someone who will in turn love and treasure them all over again. The older generation were definitely not in the mindset of "disposable" and when they bought items, it was usually a lifetime investment. I love finding items that have obviously never been used (although kept in a cupboard for a lifetime!) For example, crockery, plates (special items) that are still wrapped in their original boxes and probably never seen sunlight!!! Maybe these were Engagement or Wedding Gifts and were kept for life but never used. This is just so sweet. To think that an old lady has kept them safe and sound but probably too special to use. This is simply gorgeous! It makes me sad to witness the "consumerism" and "commercialism" that goes along with the cheap, disposable items sold today. They are definitely not made to last! I adore vintage, retro items made right here in Australia. There are sadly very few (if any) items made here in Australia anymore. So I hope you enjoy my page and maybe one day you may spot something that takes your fancy. I will endeavour to take you "back in time" and bring back a few childhood memories. I love spotting items that evoke childhood memories. I also source specific items for people. So if there's something you are after and you don't have the time to look, I can try to source it for you. (I may not always be successful but I can try!) In turn, if there is something you wish to sell, I may be interested in purchasing it from you, so please get in touch!
