Tibetan antique

I want this one, I want this one, he said, with a big smile.
I think he found something he likes, said his mother, Jessie Wilkes. We better rein him in before he freaks out.
This years fair, which runs through Sunday, has a little bit of everything, including exhibits by local artists, agricultural shows, amusement rides, games, contests and, of course, food.
With special activities on the docket, such as live music, wrestling, a petting zoo and an antique motorcycle show, event planners are hoping people will flock to the fairgrounds off Howard Street.
More than 52,000 people came through the fairs gates last year.
Its one of our biggest events of the year, said Keith Taylor, member of the Spartanburg Lions Club, which has run a food stand at the fair since it opened in 1946

If this is Monday it must be Bexley, in the Rockdale council area. Greg Nabke, his grey hair tied in a ponytail and long beard grown past his chest, drives a 15-year-old trusty Mazda truck running on biodiesel and scours the footpaths and nature strips for treasure among the trash.
His volunteer colleague, the laconic Tait Burrows, who hit the snooze alarm twice this morning before tumbling out of bed, sits in the cabin beside him, wearing wrap-around sunglasses and sipping a large coffee, scanning the opposite side of the streets.
Oh, the things Sydneysiders will throw out on council hard-rubbish days: kayaks, acoustic guitars, kitchen sinks, antique dressers, wardrobes. And how about that 1950s chunky dentist's chair left in the gutter, only to be eagerly bought by a dicey looking brothel in Marrickville. Who knew tooth extraction could be kinky?
This morning's first find: a white windsurf board and its sail, still intact. That should find a home when it is taken back and priced at The Bower, a nine-year-old co-operative centre at a former army base in Addison Road, Marrickville. Its shopfront, in Sydney's first commercial building made of strawbale, is open to the public.
The Bower - 'traders of the lost artefact' - has a strong reuse and recycle ethic
