Op-shop finds of the week

This week I thought I'd show you what an average op-shopping week is like in our house.

Me "urgh, what did you buy that thing for?"

Him Big, happy, eager puppy eyes.

Me "oh, ok, you can keep it, sigh *eyes rolling*"

Him "oh good cause it's a Grant Featherstone Taua dining chair"

(mid-century Aussie designer)

Me "ooooooooo, cool!"

Him "what did you get?"

Me "this"

 Him "what is it"

 Me "um, a cutesy table cloth with a small hole"

                                                                  

Him "oh, hmm, cool..."

Later in the week...

                                                                     

Him "look what I got!"

                                                          
Me "not more brown pottery, urgh!"

                                                           
Him Big, happy, eager puppy eyes

                                                                         
Me "what?"

                  
Him "that's an early Len Castle, a David Leach, a Warren Tippett and a Peter Stitchbury... "
(God of NZ studio pottery, famous UK potter and a couple of other only slightly less god-like NZ potters)

                                                            
Me "oh sheet, really, wow!"

                                                                  
Him "what d'ya get?

                                                                       
Me "This"

                                               
Him "a book about a talking hamster, urm...cool..."


And finally, yesterday...

       Me "oh my freakin gosh, that's a thingy print by Leo Bensemen, from that book, you know..."
