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.
