Avoid Hangovers, Stay Drunk

jess — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 11:37:28 +0000

Avoid Hangovers – Stay Drunk. What a great sentiment from these dapper bar-keeps. It’s a bar utensil holder, but who on earth only has 3 bar utensils?

Clown Cookie Jar

Did anyone actually ever use a cookie jar for keeping cookies? Wouldn’t they go stale? This clown would be enough to keep my hand out of the cookie jar that’s for sure. It’s no wonder I was the only bidder at auction.

His skipping rope hangle comes off. Y’know, incase of emergency. Marked ‘Japan’ underneath.

And on writing this post I now realise I have at least 6 cookie jars, and not a single cookie.

Dutch boy ‘thing’

What is this? Can you help? It’s obviously a dutch boy, but what is it for? Holes all over it. I’m guessing something kitchen-y, but who knows. What I do know is that his empty holes of eyes completely freak me out. Something nightmares are made of. In a nice way of course.

Face Bottle

This. What do I say about this? It’s a bottle. With a fluffy cuff, engraved leather neck piece, and silver lips. Don’t ask. I didn’t.

Made in Italy and marked underneath. ‘D.R.L Solaro Italy 075′. Still has its corked lid. I’m hoping that if I open it a genie might come out.

Sadly I’ve not been able to discover any info on it. Yet.

Dog / Girl Egg Cup

She has dogs ears and a girls face with a funny little body. I’m not really sure what she is, apart from being an egg cup. Made in Japan. Cute.

Yellow Bubba

Such a wee little thing. Cherub cheeks and hand-painted yellow onesie. Who wouldn’t want a cute bubba like this?

Cowgirl

Yeeee-hawwwww! What a demure little cowgirl this lovely lady is. She’d been living in a vast and fabulous op-shop in Wellington NSW before she was lassooed away to the Central Coast.

Booby Barrel Mug

jess — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 09:37:10 +0000

Wow, what a mug! I found this corker at a local garage sale. How ANYONE would part with it I cannot understand. Her boobs swing to and fro while you drink, and her hand poised daintily over her lady bits. Brilliant! Why aren’t all mugs like this?

Markings on the bottom of the mug are ‘PATENT. T.T.’ Made in Japan. 1960′s I am led to believe, and others seem to be going for quite a pretty penny on ebay. I won’t tell you I paid 4 bucks.

African Lady Ashtray

What a pouting beauty. But doesn’t she know smoking is oh–so bad for you?

African Warrior

jess — Fri, 27 Sep 2013 04:39:44 +0000

Ready for battle. Or maybe ready for a little flower in the top of his head. I’m not entirely sure if this guy is a vase or has some other purpose than to stand to attention on my shelf 24/7.

Señor & Señorita Bobbleheads

jess — Fri, 27 Sep 2013 04:38:22 +0000

These two lovely Spaniards bob their heads around every time someone walks past. They are truly gorgeous. I can’t remember where I adopted them from , but they are happily at home on my shelf.

Jewelled Girl Pepper Shaker

This little lady is a pepper shaker, bejewelled and ever so pretty. I think she is by Lefton ceramics, but can’t be exactly sure.
