a day in sydney

today i picked up the the chairs that i had left an absentee bid on at Mitchell road auctions , they are fantastic , Cintique Milano 1960s very original , made from coachwood with cane inserts they have have a very long seat and are one of my favourite ever chairs made in australia .the timber frames are in mint condition but have been badly upholstered so will have to get some neutral fabric to finish them off ....we decided to grab some vietnamese in hurstville and then to venture home , council cleanup was on in sylvania and we got quite a haul , including a casala chair 2 yellow retro mirrors an art deco mirror , an italian lamp base . 4 timber kitchen chairs and a few other small items , yippee i love garbage throw out .......a quick stop off at sutherland vinnies late and i grabbed a small laddreax shelving unit for $5 , my lucky day ........
