Its official, I admit, I have good expensive taste

I came back from this charity shop being most excited about this pottery terrine, but...continue reading.

Pottery terrine

I don't know if this pots rustic and worn look has been intentional or it is old but it is a look that is so appealing to me. All it's nicks and few chips add to the charm. As if my grandmother would have given it to me. Its not signed so no idea who its by.

Look at this beauty! 😍

Silk (?) scarf

I am not 100% but I think its a silk (there is no tag ) and I think its hand painted because I can see that the lines are not perfect...it has done by loose hand. I love these soft muted colors and the Egyptian lotus flower kind of pattern. I also found an splash of color that most likely spilled when someone was doing it and might be the reason it was donated. I don't mind the spill...it even adds to the story. It could be used as scarf or layer the tablecloth to decorate the tablescape.

My gut feeling tells me that both these necklaces are Natural Stone bead necklaces.

Lapis lazuli and the other might be Agate. I am no specialist...but one characteristic that is in my brain is that natural stone feels cold at hand...and they both do. In addition these necklaces feel heavier than acrylic would.

BCBGMaxazria top

I am now referring to the first sentence of this blog. I was excited about my found pot but only when I looked this top up for the blog, I realized that this is a big score 😃

I never heard of the brand, I liked the heaviness of fabric and how it falls, colors and patterns were appealing to me too.

Interesting as this is long run company founded 1989

And look at the shop...their prices are high.

I think I can call it official: "I have good expensive taste". I am tapping on my shoulder.

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. ...
