Today a friend and I enjoyed a lovely morning at the WAC.
Coffee, tea and cakes in the retro cafe were consumed after wandering through the myriad of shops looking for treasures.
I purchased a sweet chair from Sandy's shop 'Paint me White'.
I spied this telephone on my wanderings through the antique centre and remember when my parents bought one of these trendy (at the time) telephones when I was a child. I thought I had the grooviest parents!
And here is the quaint fold-up chair in the shade I'm loving right now. I placed it in my living room for now but do feel it is the perfect size and design to be situated anywhere in my home.
Much fun was had playing around with cushions and books and best of all it will be a versatile addition to my home.
Thanks Sandy, your wares are lovely and so very reasonably priced.
Isn't it fun bringing a new furniture addition into one's abode?

You're so lucky - where I live, there's nothing like the WAC. That's a pretty little chair you picked up, I love the colour!
ReplyDeleteIs your town devoid of charity thrift stores too Sulky? yes nice shade on the chair.
DeleteOh what a lovely day out, and your chair is the perfect find. You simply cannot have enough of these - they are so darn useful, and this is such a pretty paint effect. We have a roll-top bath that you can't put anything on, so one of these chairs nearby is ideal to keep your gin & tonic handy LOL! Any other uses? xxx
ReplyDeleteA shame you don't live closer Mrs E as the chair had a twin. More uses.. hmmm? Will let you know!

ReplyDeleteKnew, not new. I was too excited while typing and it gobbled up my comment just as I noticed the typo! xx
ReplyDeleteDidn't notice the typo :)
DeleteWhat a lovely day. Breakfast looks tasty and that shop is adorable. I have never seen a phone like that before.
ReplyDeleteI like the color of that chair and it looks great in the corner.
This model phone was oh so trendy back in my childhood and maybe only unique to Australia Adrienne?
DeleteThanks A, the chair is very cute!
Without the typo - Oh it's perfect! So impressed with your vision. You knew just where to put it! A-M xx

DeleteOh good grief I'll start again...am getting chairs and ginger jars confused.
DeleteYes the chair looks right at home near the plantation shutters.
I forgot to tell you that we have started the deck renovation! We (as in C) have already switched over the railings to nice marine wire and the builders will be raising and angling the roof and putting brand spanking new solar span on it! It already looks five times bigger with the new railings! We (again I mean C - I project managed) also changed a few light fittings and put up some shelves - I LOVE home improvements! You little chair is lovely!

Bravo L & C you are now well and truly on the road to home improvement domestic bliss!
DeleteMarine wire will open up the area beautifully and top marks for installing solar.
Last week we had solar installed. Great minds.
The chair is lovely.
Hello Annie, so pleased my beachy blue chair made it into your home. I was at the counter when you bought the chair shame I didn't introduce myself. Have a lovely weekend. Sandy x
ReplyDeleteOh what a shame! Would have loved to meet you Sandy.
DeleteThe chair is fitting in very nicely.
Hello Annie, Isn't Sandy's shop lovely, the nicest one in the WAC. And I spy you in Sandy's mirror - very clever photographer! The blue chair is perfect for your house, and beautifully painted like all Sandy's things. The retro cafe at WAC is fun, too. Hope you are enjoying the long weekend. xxx
ReplyDeleteWell spotted Patricia because I didn't realise my reflection was captured, that was not cleverness, purely a fluke!
DeleteSandy does a superb job that's for sure.
Looks great, I especially like that old retro phone! I remember those too but we didn't have one. We just had the old normal creme ones. Mx
ReplyDeleteI certainly remember the old dial up versions M, in fact several of those were at the centre too. Interesting what people find collectable.
DeleteLovely chair :) Oh and hello :)
ReplyDeleteand Hello right back at you Annieb!
DeleteI love shops like that! I'd love to find one of those telephones. It would be perfect for our Mad Men parties!
ReplyDeleteHi LR, oh this phone would be a fantastic party prop. I'm a bit tempted to return and get that phone..maybe use as a paperweight? Hubs thinks I've lost my marbles lol.
ReplyDeleteI love retro cafes like that with pretty china and yummy cakes!
