Bangalow, New South Wales, is a charming little town tucked in the lush hills behind Byron Bay. It plays host to some beautiful boutique home ware stores and food junkie outlets. As often when away from home one has the time to wander and stumble upon some gems.
Heaths Old Wares is one such store. Behind the main drag it is literally a shed full of treasures and trips down memory lane. The store is so well laid out that makes navigating it easy with all items neatly stored and not just a junk dust gathering arrangement.

Old milk vats, these could be so good as a painting.

Being a farming area there are some lovely old milk vats, fruit boxes, rakes and other agricultural implements. These and old ladders leaning against walls help conjure up some gorgeous country home, hearty soup interiors.
Take a look at some of the shots below. I bought some old beautifully shaped green bottles for some single flower arrangements next to the bed and in the bathroom.

The beach at Brunswick Heads on a very wet day
|
The other fun thing we did up there, which was pretty rained out unfortunately, but would make for a fun day out was the 'old and gold' market at Brunswick Heads. Early June every year the town empties its homes of all sorts of bits and pieces and holds a town big garage sale.....good to see what some homes have held onto all these years
