Those sort of shops are interesting, but sometimes a little bit creepy. None of it would fit in my house although I quite like the French motorbike.

That’s amazing! I was there the day before you. Well…as you didn’t get to step inside, I’ve covered it for you! I hope the fish and chips were good.

Oh boy! All those animals, they all look terrified. These surely are pieces one looks at, but never buys.

No wonder you guys never made it elsewhere, Charlie. They would have had to ask me to leave because they wanted to go home. That’s the kind of place I could get lost in for hours and there’s no telling what you’ll find. You sure did show us an eclectic assortment. The Batmobile? Well that puts the cherry on top of that sundae, doesn’t it?

What a fascinating collection of antiques although I suspect you would need a very deep pocket to shop there!

Awesome stuff indeed Charlie! That tiger is amazing, but I’d like it to look like it was curled up asleep so I could give it cuddles without being freaked out 🙂 littlej has her own ‘museum’ in her room, but the various animal skins were roughly cured by my dad and are certainly not as pretty (or as nice smelling) as those ones xox

What an interesting store! Do people really spend that kind of money buying that stuff though? I guess so, look at the bat mobile guy! My hubby isn’t a browser…he hates these kind of shops. He much prefers a shoe shop….I am not kidding.

I agree with Kari’s comment–how delightful to see that they encourage donations to an animal shelter. They obviously feel much as you do–what’s done is done, and these examples of using animals as “art” were at one time examples of fine and exquisite taste, although it’s almost impossible for me to even imagine. I love to browse through shops similar to this, but I have never seen a collection like you’ve shared. It really is a museum! I have seen a “Batmobile” on the streets of Los Angeles, but I guess you never know where the Caped Crusader is going to show up. He must have been needed in Mittagong!

Mittagong was rocking last weekend. I’m with Carl on the browsing in old shops thing. It’s a splendid way to spend a few hours. Love it. Thanks for bringing all those pieces of interest to us via your blog.
