A note from Erina - Friday 3rd September 2010
I have an interesting item for you ... and Lesley may recognise it
Have been going through a heap of stuff and found this ... and I think it is a Beauty Case from around the 1960's
Both my Mum and your Mum had one each and this one is your Mum's ... my Mum's was greyish and 'it is lost' !!
Have attached a few photos and the shot with the cat shows the size
It's about twelve inches by eight inches
You are welcome to this one,
otherwise it's going with a load of other things I am going to sell at the North Adelaide Retro / Vintage Fair
Our house is 'chocka' as you know !!
Cheers ... Erina

Reply from Sharon
Hey Erina
I would like that case ... thanks !
I have just the place for it ... not that I need any more stuff either !
It's a good idea to sell some of your stuff at that sort of Vintage Fair ... it's more likely to go to a good home

Another note from Sharon to Erina - Friday 10th September 2010
Hi Erina
Wow, that was quick ... the case has arrived safe and sound
I really like it ... and except for the rusty hinges and bits it is still quite sturdy and in good condition
Hope you had some success at the Vintage Fair ... I liked the sound of that place !
Thanks again ... Sharon
