Thrifting Spode's Christmas Tree plates and a beautiful art glass plate

-


 

I found three Spode "Christmas Tree" range dinner plates.

As I come from Estonia, I had no idea about this popular Spode Christmas range. When I saw these plates at the charity shop, I instantly loved the illustration. Turned plate around and it said Spode. I did know about the Spode...so I grabbed these. Coming home I Google and learned that this range has 85 years of history. Since it instantly spoke to me without knowing about it...there is a proof that it is a timeless range. Happy with my find.

I loved this thick glass candle holder. Looking around in internet, other people say it to be for Kavanagh Giftware  Kilkenny Living range.

This is yet another tablecloth I found that was brand new and is cotton or linen...does not have any tags on it but feels good. I cover my tables with tablecloths and in use they get stains etc that does not come off sometimes so having a pile of them ready is handy. This one has lovely muted greyish blue color that I liked and goes well in my living room.



                                                                                




Six embroidered napkins with cute crochet rim. I dont know their origin but anything embroidered, I love and how lovely touch they will make on table.


Maybe I fold them as in that YouTube video but I think I would prefer to leave them on the side of the plate and put cutlery on the top.






I think this is my favorite find followed closely by Spode plates.
This glass plate it special because it is by artist Eva Kelly. It is signed and dated 2001.

I love the matted glass that has other pieces of glass infused in it and the blue rim is a cherry on the icing.


It was well hidden in between of usual kitchen plates, just spotted the rim in between them and what a rush I felt when I took it out and saw signature. 😍






I picked this necklace because it felt quality and those oblong beads are glass and have a moonglow on them. In addition it is name tagged Jasper Conran.
I havent heard about him before and here is what I found out:


What a talented designer!  Cool side of thrifting is that I can learn so much from the items I find and like.



And then I found this wonderful wool woven pillow case. These are popular berber Kilim carpet patterns and specially loved in boho eclectic interiors.

I love it!

Look at this video. Its fabulous!

Splurged on Etsy buy from Iwo Rynkiewicz

  Etsy. I think it is many art lovers shopping location. I really like to purchase directly from artist because I know that every sell makes a difference and lifts artist spirit. I myself sell there my art. For a while I had this sculpture on my favorites list. As you can see I bought it. It is titled " Hieronymus II " and I liked it from the first moment I saw it. It seem to me that the Kids series that Iwo sells on Etsy are more popular and don't get me wrong I love them as well. But this one I liked more. What appeals to me is mix of modern shop mannequin, Greek and Roman characters. Little bit futurism mixed in as well. And as picture show...I am pottery mad! I enjoy my Hieronymus very much indeed. Here is Iwo Rynkiewicz homepage . I have another sculpture to show by different artist but that would be another blog post soon. Iwo's signature. When I was unpacking it...he reminded me the fallen Statue of Liberty from sci-fi movies.And the thrill that went through m...
