Thrifting - 2 epic finds Alessi Coffee press and amazing velvet blazer

-

 

In this post I show my recent 2 thrifting finds that I consider Epic. But I leave them for last.


This is a set of three candles that has been donated most likely because of its damaged box. It was originally sold at Meadows and Burns that is quality lifestyle and home goods retailer. Set is named coastline and the aroma is more to the freshly washed linen smell than sea smell. It is good, not overpowering fragrance.

 It looks like I was a in a smell sensory mood while shopping because I also grabbed this Ashleigh and Burwood London Oriental Spice diffuser.

My home is smelling gooooood 😀

How could I not buy this book when it has such a colorful and eclectic style represented. There are also needlepoint patterns inside. I doubt that I would try to do something so big myself. Still, this book inspires me and Kaffee Fassett himself is personality to behold. 

I love anything embroidered and textile and handmade.

Very cool.

I broke my coffee press ( no regrets as I knew that meant I can go hunting 😉). And whenever I went to charity shop I kept my eyes specially peeled for it. When I found this one...I almost left it behind...because it was dirty and sticky...really yaki. I almost put it back...but then I noticed the writing on the glass " Alessi". Ding-ding-ding. I took this sticky press and later after thorough cleaning sat behind the computer. 

This is Michael Graves Design coffee press for Alessi.

I consider this as Epic find.

Second Epic find is this Hucke Berlin blazer. It is not epic due to its value. I consider it Epic because I love it so.

It is the softest velvet you ever touched and the color - Amazing!

Event the buttons are amazing. 

I absolutely love it.

I cant find a lot about this brand. Could it be victim of Covid?

      Of course my thrifting addiction is fueled now. It feels so good to find something that you really love with bargain prices.

My Doirin Saurus ceramic collection

 Here is my fabulous Doirin Saurus ceramic collection.  First time I saw her work I was immediately drawn to drawings, colors and whimsy. All works are wonderfully wonky as well. She is now in her 70s and resides in West Cork, Fethard. She earns additional living by doing pottery classes. The most usual her items you can find in Ireland art galleries are mugs...bowls and plates are rare.  I am now aiming to buy 4 more plates but it is not easy. I know they are out there because I was only able to afford buy 2 plates in the beginning and there were more left in that gallery but when will people starting to sell them is a question...I think everyone keeps them because these are easily favorite things to own. I have seen also tea pots with the whimsy portraits and then there are abstract sculptural vases that I have seen, similar abstract pattern drawn on them as my smaller bowl here in the picture.  So, there is plenty of space to grow my collection. Hunt is on!
