Things on our walls and in our windows.


Here are some of the lovely things that adorn our walls and windows in our home. Some were gifts, some bought at garage sales and markets.

Below is a mermaid from the Apollo Bay market made by a local artist. I think she is exquisite.


Below is a wooden carved mermaid found at an op-shop.

Below: a Noah's Ark wooden hanging that I bought for our 18 month old as a first Christmas present.
I found this great '70's glass piece at an op-shop many years ago before everyone wanted this stuff and it is a fantastic thing, I think.

I got this glazed pottery flower at a church garage sale. It's also a '70's piece and it was about $2.00.

Below is a plaque that hangs out the front of our house, given to us as a gift.

My favourite plaque below, a '70's piece I think, that I bought at the Camberwell Market more than 10 years ago for about $2.50. I loved it, but had to convince my husband. He understands now.

Below are some of my collection of beautiful tiles. Some are Delft tiles and others are from Italy and England and the mermaid was made for us by an artist. I use them as pot stands and have them sitting looking pretty on my kitchen bench.

A lead light hand holding balloons. I love this.
