CRAFT FINDS OF THE WEEK

prima piate

Yes theres a new craze at HML headquarters. As far as decoration goes you know we like to mix the high with the low, and we really really really love a bargain. Regular readers would also be aware that currently our shelves are full of strange ceramic figurines, the tables are clothed in a delicious selection of vintage cloths, the credenza is overloaded with west german ceramics and our couches are well and truly afghaned up the wazoo. We're almost at the point where every flat 'showcasing' surface has been gobble up with our craft finds, and yet we still cant stop ourselves.

So now, a few op-shops trips and excellent garage sales later our walls are slowly being covered in decorative plates. The starting point for this new fad was the rediscovery of a set of four very special Arnolds Diner inspired Barbeque Bowl plates... But of course you only really come across that kind of 60's RSL charm once in your life, so the genre has been expanded to include all manner of decorative plates from Beck's favourite decade... the 70's.


This here is the collection so far, but with a kitchen renovation in the offing, and fine weather coming we expect this collection to breed molto rapido. And of course it goes without saying that we're always more than happy to recieve donations.
