Say hello to Robyn!

G'day and welcome to my head vase collection.

My name is Robyn Stirling and I live "down under" (Australia) in the city of Bundaberg which you may know as the home of the famous "Bundaberg Rum". Thankfully rum is not my hobby but Lady Head Vases certainly are.

Well my story began over one year ago when I was just a Lady Head Vase scout hunter for my husbands Auntie Carrol who has her own collection of seventeen ladies. I was not at all interested inc ollecting them for myself as I had my own cabinet full with my own collections which was mostly sugar scuttles and carnival horses at that time. Unbeknown to me the head vase-itis syndrome was bound to addict me.

One year later and I own a total of 20 head vases, mostly ladies which I have displayed in a small glass cabinet. I even give all my ladies names, my favorite is Kelley, my Relpo K1883 which was given to me last Christmas by my husband. She is pictured in the photo consisting of five of my girls, second on the left.

Ladies are very scarce to find over here so when you do actually find them they are almost always way to expensive so I prefer to search the net for better priced ladies, I would be lucky to even find one lady for sale in my state.

I would love to visit the USA one-day; I'd have a field day looking for ladies. Anyway,I hope that you have enjoyed my Australian story.

Happy Head Hunting,
From Robyn Stirling
