The three original 70s macrame plant hangers (front) are from our lovely 70s family home in Sydney. The three Australian House and Garden magazines from 1974 (middle) were a present from my lovely sister and her husband; as was the amber glass fruit salad bowl set and the Maw and Co "Real Ceramic Drink Mats" in their original box (behind the Australian House and Garden magazines).
We picked up the Australian Home Journal magazines from 1978 (left), along with four other magazines from a bookshop in Holbrook on the way home. The titles are Exciting Ways with Floors and Walls (n.d.), New Ideas for Luxury Look Bathrooms (n.d.), 25 New Bedroom Designs (1972) and Room Decoration, 25 New Schemes (1972).
The Biscuit canister and the salt and pepper set (right) are pieces from the Hornsea Heirloom series. We have been collecting this series for ages and these were two of the very few items we were still missing (and have just joined The Hornsea Pottery Collectors and Research Society—there is only one other HPC&RS member in Oz!). They came from a great antique centre in Blackheath called Victory Theatre Antique Centre, which we visited with my sister. It was one of many we sped through in a one-day whirl-wind tour of antique shops in the Blue Mountains.
We will do a series of posts on the Hornsea Heirloom series very soon. After all, this blog is called "Our Seventies House" not "Our Weed-Infested Garden"—though, that might be a more accurate description right now …
