Anyone who has visited Gum Valley Patchwork will know that the shop isn't really that big. It is a challenge to display the ever growing amount of stock that I just can't help but buy......lol! So last week I decided visit Mailors Flat Demolitions and Antiques........I took the ute just in case I found what I was looking for..........a pigeon hole display cabinet. Lenora jumped in for the ride.......(sorry for the doggy smelling ute!). You could spend hours looking at all of the antiques and bric & brac but as we were on a time budget we wove our way way through the aisles and then I saw it..........yay..........it was perfect. I was lucky as apparently they aren't all that easy to come by and this one had not long been in stock. Loaded up I headed home with my purchase (after saying goodbye to Lenora :)).
The next challenge was getting it into the shop........it was a heavy mother of a thing........but between Russell and myself we did it with only minimal swearing.
As we are still waiting on the builders to come back (a little problem with the wrong coloured roofing iron ordered.....dooh!) the new cabinet may be shifted to another spot in the shop. But in the meantime I have started filling it up with lots of bits & pieces which has been fun.
Now I just have to fill up the empty spaces on the tables.....lol!

How perfect LInda! The shelves look brilliant all stocked up. Welcome back to Aus. Loved your Quilt Market posts. What a great trip! Amazing to have met Polly Minick - very special. Still getting over your photo of the dog biscuit shop - definitely to be filed under 'you've got to be kidding me'!!
