Great haul mix of everything

-

 

This haul is from one charity shop, I call my honey hole :) 

I got two tops, very nice quality silky material.

Not worn, probably donated by retailers.



I specially love this AVOCA Anthology top. The pattern reminds me 1970s illustrations. The material is silky to touch and it does not wrinkle. The decolte is beautifully done. What a great find with bargain price when retail price I could not afford.

AVOCA is a big name in Ireland. Business has started off as weavers mainly working on wool items but now it gas grown to every possible area:

Avoca Design, Avoca Bakery, Avoca Bakers, Food Markets...just name it. Take a look at their website:

This top is from V by Very

It seem to be UK company having their own brand but at their website they retails other brands too.

 I like the patters and the contrast of black and salmon pink.

I have now worn it at +34C and it is great since the air floats under and you wont sweat as much 😆😅

I loved the look of this mug. Its a bit wonky and rustic looking. Size is a perfect for hot chocolate...it has wide opening so perfect for marshmallows.







This medium size vase is wonderful pottery and signed underneath initials and  '95 

If I am not mistaken the it is vintage Louis Mulcah

I love to find signed pottery.

 

All in all...a very nice haul, good variety of items.

Charity shop haul

  Here you see a picture of charity shop finds from my last hunting. It is a good representation of my taste. And I can't believe that I found all these from one shop.  Framed print.  I have no clue who the artist is. It is signed but I cant read out the name. I don't know...it appealed to me. I find it quirky and cool. Its large, so it makes a statement in the room.  The vase with flowers. Pottery, pottery, ceramics. My current obsession. I am so attracted to ceramic. Texture, glazes and a fact that it is handmade. The vase with flowers is by Suzanne May , Irish Dublin based ceramic artist. About her   Her workmanship quality equals with another great Irish potters like Louis Mulcahy and Colm DeRis. Although I love it, I listed it at my Ebay Shop as I collect money to buy myself a home.   Bowl   Bowl is not signed but I liked it rustic rough look and it gives me artsy vibes. I've been using it and find it good size for soup and I also had grapes served from there. Pitche

Houston Llew

 Houston Llew from charity shop Couple of weeks ago I went treasure hunting to charity shops on weekend as I often do. On the table there I noticed a book shaped object with attractive Tango dancers. I lifted it, it felt heavy and looking at it it seemed like decorative peace. It had nice quotes on each side. When looking it backside it said "glass on copper" among other information. Yes, please! As I love anything craft or art related I grabbed it fast. At home I had a closer look and Googled. I love when this happens...that the art world unfolds for you with something new that you did not know existed before. All because of a find from charity shop.  Here is link to his website: https://www.houstonllew.com/  Isn't these fabulous? Houston Llew is so talented and he deserves success. I have listed this Spiritle in my Ebay shop with reasonable price ( profit goes to my "buying my own home" fund). It has a lot of viewers and watchers and yesterday I got first bid

Galway Potters Market 2023

 Galway Potters Market. It is usually held one summer weekend next to Spanish Arch in Galway.They are doing it annually since 2011. I've been trying to go each year I think since 2018.  Insta Galway Potters Market This year I rallied my friend to tag along. I think she liked it, at least I saw her smiling when looking at all the ceramics. Maybe I will convert her? In previous years I've always bought a Dee Quinn's piece. I have small collection already. Unfortunately she was not there this year. I will make a different blog post about her and the pieces I own. I recognized artists from previous years and I think 2 to 3 new artists I have not seen before. Of course I had to buy something.  I ended up buying Turnstone ceramics Robin and Clare Butler ceramics earrings. I had another favorite but it was out of my budget range. I have a very expensive taste.  After the indulging ourselves in ceramics we headed to have a stroll by the river. It is a nice walk across different
