Thrifting star find Mary Southard vase

-

 

Lovely haul from the weekend.



I found this old original oil painting that charmed me. It is really old based on the back as I think it is painted on board and the frame is old and secured with nails. I love this naive scene of children at the mill wheel. I can imagine someone spending their time painting it...and Id say its from 1900s.






Lovely boho bangle on brass and colorful chips on the black back round. Wearable with anything really.







Another boho vibe candle holder from Safi, Morocco.

It is known region for pottery for centuries.

I found this interesting video on YouTube

I have a quite collection of Interior Design books by now. But I so enjoy to browse them so I keep picking them. I still have little more space for them...but soon I need to start listing them on Ebay.

This one is by Carol Meredith

The Star find: Mary Southard signed vase.

It is just so appealing to me in its simplicity but she is a beauty. Her back has long scarf falling to bottom rim and she will be hugging the flowers I will add into the vase.

I looked up Mary Southard (there is plenty in Google Images) and seen her doing even life size sculptures not to mention paintings.

What a talented lady! What a find!

Epic charity shop pottery haul

 I have a "honeyhole" charity shop. All these ceramics is from one go. Why I titled this post "epic"? Majorly because of the lamp but all items are fab! The lamp I was drawn to it as if it was a big magnet there on the table. It's abstract artsy look is amazing, it's colors and it is tall and big and a statement peace and with very good price. Yes please, thank you! I had a quick look in the shop, it is inscribed and additional sticker remain.  McCluskey Pottery. Artist Sean McCluskey, Limavady in Northern Ireland. Have to tell you I had not heard about him before. Sadly when looking him up, he seem to have passed 13.02.2011. But his works live on their lives. Can use your imagination what travels this lamp has seen since its birth. Looking around internet there is not a lot of his work around and I would say from the things I've seen so far...this is the Crown Jewel of his work. I am so pleased of this find and I plan to enjoy it myself for a while unti

Anna Glodek

I was excied and happy to find this painting and even afford it. Here is what seller wrote about her: Here is a beautiful, eye-catching painting by Maryland artist Anna Glodek.  It is framed and although the sticker says 8" by 10", it is NOT it is actually bigger at 13" by 10" and the painting itself is larger than 8x10.  I believe this was painted in the early 2000's when she was showing in local galleries around Maryland.   These photos really do not do justice to the art. It has a wonderful, heavy texture.  The painting itself is in excellent condition with no damage. The The simple metal frame has a couple small scratches.   This is a real gem of a painting.

In addition I got idea from her to create my own initials monogram and use when

Thrifting highlight: Judy Greene's pottery

  So, I have been thrifting this weekend and here is the haul. Judy Greene pottery. Its from her Connemara range. Here is her website: https://judygreene.wixsite.com/galway Now, on closer inspection I am not actually sure that the plate is Judy's although the glazes and colors are so similar. The incised mark on the plate is different than on the mug. But they go well together and I like their rustic look a lot. So, plate still remains a bit of the mystery. Bracelet and necklace Lady in the charity shop said it is graphite bead set. I never heard of graphite before...but it has dark grey and metallic look to it.  Wikipedia says:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite Sure looks like it. Also...what I know about natural stone jewelry is that natural stone feels cold to touch and this one surely feels cold. This jewelry set gives me modernist, futurist vibes. This metal candleholder brought smile to my face instantly. It is produced in Sweden by "Bengt and Lotta". I was so
