Collection every couple of days#75

Hi Everyone,
does two constitute a collection?
I think so.

So I'm guessing most people know this book Rubaiyat of  Omar Khayyam (clearly spell check doesn't like this).
Yes it's a classic and I look for vintage copy's with great graphics which I like.
Do you have a copy?

Hi Everyone,
Vintage hand made gifts don't you just love things that are hand made particularly vintage things.

This little collection is from many estates and were all carefully wrapt or boxed witch makes me think they were gifts to be given or gifts received .
Pretty blue garters, hand crocheted compact cover,shoe lasts pretty lace collar and a blue bag that I can't figure out what it's for!
Just pretty things to complement other collections.
Cheers Lyn.

Collection every couple of days #73

Hi Everyone,

This collection came in one box and this is it .

I picked it up from a garage sale a couple of years ago and paid a fair bit of money for it too,but seriously it's fabulous!

If you haven't figured it out yet its a Vintage optometrist kit complete with all of its parts ,lenses of different sizes and strengths and all the glasses to put them in .
So I've decides after hanging on to it for quite a while that its time to sell it,so it will make its way to the Vintage Shed on Thursday.
Sob sob

Hi Everyone,

How do I describe this little collection,mystic and religion?
These fortune telling sticks were found at a deceased estate many years go and I loved them immediately they are very old and I assume probably from the 1920s or before maybe even Victorian.
They were imported by the Myers Emporium and are great fun to play with.the other two pamphlets are of a religious nature and are beautifully written and have fantastic graphics.
I suppose strange things to keep ,but I like them.

Hi Everyone,
Miss Graces vintage toy collection.
These pretty little tins and toys have been collected over the last six years at estates and garage sales for our daughter Miss Grace.

 At the time of photographing the new cat in our lives Princess Chloe decided to photo bomb the shot!

So I kept it !

Cheers Lyn.

Hi everyone,
So now I've almost exhausted all of our house looking for more collections to share with you friendly folk,I remember the advertising pieces that I have in the bathroom.
Well we all spend time in our bathrooms at some point in our days it's always nice having something fun to look at.

The two counter adds came from my friend George at the old Mornington antique Centre ,while the Aspro sign came from  a garage sale the girdle cylinder cane as a lucky opp shop find.
