Out and about - have you been to Doug on Bourke?

Saffron Craig - Monday, April 25, 2011

I needed some old wooden fruit crates so I went to Doug Up on Bourke in Sydney. It is a treasure trove, at every corner I found some piece of nostalgia to make me smile and reminisce.

Mmmh these are real. Hoot hoot no more. :(

Huge choice of enamel signs, boxes and crates.

Theses were my final choices. When I sent this image to Patrick he replied "get them all." Which I did.

I love these boxes, they make my house feel so much more me. Now I own 50 year old boxes made from Australian hardwood that will be around another 50 or more. Stroke.
