Yeah...It's great but there is only so much you can display...I think we have too much stuff now...
Oh I forgot to mention 50's and 60's bathroom things...like old pink scales in stones.

A garage sale would quickly raise enough for another Kombi -maybe even a splittie Cool

I should get some pics too...

I can even recognise things that we have too...I love those old electric kettles (we have a couple too)....I also have an almost matching Japanese silk teddy bear...I imagine you would find matching things in our clutter.

What is your very favourite collection or item?

My favorite collection would be to sell it all on ebay. I have heaps of tobacco tins. cathy has the rest. She makes all her own witches and dolls and bears etc and spends anything up to 50 hours each making them at a cost of a couple hundred bucks each. She dont see what i put here as she aint into computers etc. But i would love to chuck it all on ebay. Her greatest collection is, that she has every card that was ever sent to us going back 37 years for kids being born etc. Every card i or the kids ever gave her ie xmas, easter, aniversary, birthday. you name it and she has every card. I just go along with the collection. Tea pots are her favorite i think, she has one worth 600 bucks, the others are also worth dollars. she normally pays about 200 each for the english ones. The kettles, thats a different story she loves them too and has about 18, the dearest one she paid 85 bucks for at a antique fair in warnambool. that was the specled bird shown some where.
