Compact #37 - Vase and Flowers Compact

Compact #37 - Vase and Flowers Compact - This is not technically a compact, well it is but it isn't. It is actually just a mirror but it is antique and it's cute so it made it into my collection. I got this in NY too, it looks quite 70's.

Cape Town Wooden Figures - Working Men

These wooden figures depicting traditional working roles aren't really anitque but they are collectible and sit proudly in the middle of my fire place. I bought these in Cape Town in 2007, I think they are an engineer, a soldier, a doctor, a tobacco company owner and a pimp although I am probably wrong ;) I am kidding I am not really sure what the last two are supposed to be protraying but they certainly look stupendous. To think that a group of South Africa's work full time carving and painting these little guys. I can think of worse jobs. I do have another figure but I drilled it to my fence to stop my dog getting out and to look decorative. It didn't stop my dog getting out but it does look cute on my fence.

Compact #35 - Gold Clock Compact

I suppose a compact with a clock would come in handy, I guess you would use it much like we use our mobile phones these days. Gold Clock Compact in good condition. I purchased this in New Yor in 2007 when I was there for my honeymoon. I only spent 6 days in NY which was not nearly enough time, I saw all the main highlights and did a little bit of shopping but I could have stayed for a good month I think to really see everything I wanted. One really cool thing about NY is the pop culture references that spring up around ever corner, so many movies, books, tv shows have been set in this fantstic city so I kind of felt like I had been there before. Heaps of choices when it came to compacts too which is a plus.
