mt eden antiques fair.

I went along to the Mt Eden Antiques Fair last Sunday, the sort of thing that's right up my alley! I am more than happy to pay $3 to fossick through treasures of all kinds - antique toys, linen, books, china, ornaments and jewellery to name a few.

I was pretty chuffed to pick up this old manual Brother typewriter for $20. I saw a very similar one in the window display of Iko Iko on K'Rd which I so lovingly longed for. It's in top condition and only needed a ribbon change. This takes my total collection of typewriters to 3 (I have an electronic Brother and old Consul), although one may get the boot very soon as storage at our house is at a minimum.

Great for sending in requests to the North Pole

Previous owners assignment on dinosaurs found tucked in the case pocket. Ha!

And these pretty cats, the set $2!

a sweet find...

A month or two back I went across the road to the Mt Eden Antiques Fair. Boy was that fun! I picked up this little '70s recipe folder. Now the little girl illustration has a name, the seller told me it and I wrote it down somewhere, but for the life of me I cannot remember...

Recipes for Candy! A little pouch to pop your recipe cut outs in.

The previous owner left their recipe for fruit puffs. How thoughtful...
Looks like it could have been from an Edmonds packet or something.
