Cheerful thrift haul

I like this haul from about a month ago.

I start to notice that each separate time pickings are going together harmonically. Or I imagine things. But I assure that it has never been intentional. I just pick items that I like.

The fish

Its ceramic and can be hanged on a wall. Mine just leans against books on a bookshelf and it gives very cool artsy vibe.

I think that it is souvenir from Spain or Lancarote. But I love it. I managed to broke its tale when unpacking but little superglue and all grand.

Here is the signature on the back. I can read out OLARIA ?IN(?)A (or is the second word AIOVA? since the O letter seem to be small on first word) LACTE ( I think it might be short for Lancarote )...but this is all just guesswork. When to Google Olaria ceramics it results to many Spanish ceramic studios.

Watercolor print " Summer days" Donegal by Philip Gray

I love this print ( would love to own original ), it is light and bright and reminds me my trips to coast. You can find views like this all over Ireland coast.

Frame of this print is also real beauty. Double matted too. All together wonderful piece.

Porcelain ashtray with a bird

I liked this tray, it has a good look and it was crisp. I think the the stigma of using items for what they were intended to be when produced is starting to lift. Since I am not smoker, I still like it and I'd find different uses for it. Snacks can be served from there...some Soy sauces can be mixed in there, etc.

I listed it in my Ebay shop https://www.ebay.com/itm/266308809661

Metal or Bronze hare

He is just cool decorative peace. I will have him around for a while to enjoy and then to list it.

I love the print and just look at those sleeves.

I am already wearing it and it is comfy.

Elena Miro top

What a find! It's silk or silk fusion, I have already wearing it a lot, specially with hot days it just cools down your body.

Cool artsy look is a plus of course.

Thrifting Banksy, jewelry, Hilfiger, diffuser, Masai Copenhagen

I had "guns blazing" fun with thrifting last week. This Tommy Hilfiger pouch bag fits under arm perfectly and is brand new. Does not seem to be never warn. I can see how this design is influenced by Louis Vuitton. Textile with initials but then having Hilfigers iconic blue and red stripe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Hilfiger These are two costume jewelry pieces that I picked up. The earrings are interesting to me because these are like very thin mesh tubes that have tiny crystals in them. The ring is no doubt a statement piece. I think its the largest ring I ever had. This Banksy's street art depiction was fun find. What makes it extra interesting is that it is print on the glass not paper. In my opinion it brings it to high quality level. The frame works so well too with it. If I am not mistaken it us by this company: https://artdesigna.co.uk/collections/banksy?srsltid=AfmBOoq87xvnEg0hTFx2oSGZ5K7P0KKfTiejFdm1WVP9zpmkiTyPVWXD Panda with Guns originally ...

Last week thrifting finds

This is a compilation of items I picked last week from different charity shops. One thing I always looking out and picking from charity shops is colored tights . Why pay about 8 EUR in department store when you get them from charity for 2EUR. For me they are perfect to make any outfit more interesting. Look at that color and pattern. Its fabulous. Wonderful oversized pottery mug or bowl. It is not signed and it is heavy to lift. I think it is someone's handmade project. That is what I like about it. I served a salad from it and it brought instant artsiness to the table. Bonus is its lime green inside and dark green outside glaze. Then I found these Casa Decor drawer knobs . Very good quality. Currently I have bed side tables with boring wooden knobs. I think I need to do a makeover, to paint my side tables with new exciting color and use these knobs. I think knobs require darker color to make them pop. Searched them up from internet. Quality Indian home decor. ...
