Fun & Games

A dozen gorgeous hand-painted clay eggs from Honduras.

Outdoor twisted metal votive candle stakes.


Beautiful blown bubble glass lanterns with woven iron handles. Perfect as a lanterns or flower vases.


Hand-made wooden limes from Haiti.


Surf's up with these mini rustic metal Kombi vans.


A whimsical set of fox hunters and hounds made from handcarved wood.


Set of three large rustic clay pots with black and antique-white stripes. Hand-crafted in Honduras.


This great over-sized metal megaphone would be perfect for calling everyone to order at dinner time.


Aren't these pieces from At West End just adorable! I think the vintage surfie Kombi vans with surfboards on the roof are my favourites. Takes me back to being a 17 year old in my teeny tiny string bikini on the beach at Moana with my girlfriends during summer. Our collective & fervent hope was that the gorgeous surfies would look our way & maybe we would become of the surfie chicks sitting smugly in the front seat of the Kombi with our heroes by our side!

  1. Millie...Is a Kombi the same thing as a VW bus? All the items you picked to show us are very nice. Thanks. The lemons and limes look faux real! ;-) ♥Rosemary

  3. Millie - those pots are scrumptious! I don't even garden but that certainly doesn't mean I wouldn't buy them ... I am sure I could use them as props! Such a sucker for some hand drawn stripes always! Happy week xx

  4. Absolutely adorable Millie! Those wooden lemons & limes look so real & love the pots. Its probably a good thing for my bank balance that they do not ship to Australia!

  8. About 15 years ago I had a boyfriend who drove a Kombi - I used to cringe with embarrasment everytime I got in it! But I do think these Kombis are adorable, and you know I've actually seen them in Adelaide somewhere. I was almost tempted to buy a red one for my son's room, as he has a red and white and navy room with a beach theme.

  9. Rosemary - yes a Kombi is a VW bus! Not sure if it's an Aussie word or if the Germans actually marketed the bus under that name here. Now I'm curious to know what Kombi means (or stands for).
