Junk Weeding

I am a horder...ok, no apologies or anything but yes I do seem to amass an astonishing amount of old crap. Heres some of the lastes rubbish (or treasure as I think of it!)

I have a real thing for enamel light fittings, I just LOVE them. Look at that shade of green, how quintessentially Brtish is that, its like have a little slice of English industrial history hanging in the living room! 

This angle-pose lamp spent years in my dads shed (it came from a car boot sale, see its not my fault buying old rubbish is genetic!) Sadly Dads not here any more so I have taken if from his old shed and will use it to light my art desk, I like to think he would approve.

More boot sale bargins, another butterfly to add to my collection, a cute Roberts radio for Rich (it will go with the ned kitchen!) and more oak picture frames, we'er artists we can never have enough picture frames.

Ok so the reason for this post wasn't to gloat about my latest treasures, Rich and I have decied that we actually have too much old stuff, so some time in the next month or so I will be setting up a shop (probably on ebay) to sell off some of the stuff that we cant for one reason or another use, for anyone interested below are a few of the things that we will be parting with...

Look at that bad boy! We ended up with 2 of these, one is slightly smaller and we will use it in the kitchen, this one is the larger of the two and for our rather low ceilinged little cottage simple too big. It would look amazing in somewhere with high ceilings, or a loft apartment.

I love this deco light fitting, looks like it may have come out of a pub or something, the white milk glass is lovely and its actually surprisingly light weight considering the size (again big!).

I have rather a lot of these beautiful old paint tins, yes I am a painter but theres really only so many one girl needs. I really hope these find a new home as they are just lovely, they even smell good! All painty and oily with a bit of white spirits thrown in (ok I realise I may the only person who actually like smells like this!)

So there you are a little taster of our soon to be up and running shop, keep an eye out for more goodies soon!
