Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice: The History of Spices and Seasonings.And, laid out on the table like some ancient tapestry was the puzzle-box… Or at least, not for the prices they were asking! I don’t go ‘ooh’ unless I get a good return on my investment!Ĭhugging home, we passed through a small-town antiques shop. But nothing was there that made us go “oooh…”. We perused the market and saw many interesting things, took pictures and bought a couple of trinkets. Whatever exists today is whatever hasn’t been thrown out, smashed, trashed, lost in floods, fires or tornadoes, and which has been lovingly stored in someone’s attic or basement. We never made this stuff, we only ever imported it. I remembered seeing such a box at the previous year’s antiques fair, and went off today in hopes of finding one. And I figured I’d like one for my own long-bobbin Singer 128 sewing machine. I’ve been mesmerised by these things ever since I saw pictures of them on the International Sewing-Machine Collector’s Society (ISMACS) website. And in the 30’c heat, we almost bonded permanently! Phoof! It was hot! We went to the annual Fryerstown Antiques Fair. Today being Australia Day, we did what all red-blooded Aussie blokes do! My father and I went out antiquing today.
