Dust and rust


I don't know about you but I love a good vintage shop. I spotted this one in Murchison earlier this week but sadly it was closed.

Aptly named dust and rust it looks like judging from the objects outside, it lives up to it's name.

Nother more satisfying than rooting round shops like that. Even if you don't find anything you want the sheer enjoyment of looking happifies me.

A very nice find indeed and I love the entrance. Very unusual for a wooden building.

That's the sort of place I love. Lots to look at even if you have no intention of buying anything. Great pic of the old rust bucket.

A very nice place. I never go inside such places but I would love to take photographs of the exterior and the things they have scattered around.

This is certainly an inviting-looking shop. Makes me wish I weren't so averse to flying these days, else I'd be out your way looking for this. I have a Pinterest board devoted to "Rust and Rusticity"--and this is such a great example. Thanks for sharing the lovely photo.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
