Thrifting and finding some fabulous items

-

 

Here are my this week findings. 


Childrens Book: "Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to The Fantastical World Around you". I have only heard about this book series but it is after my childhood. I fell for the illustrations...as soon I opened the book to browse my jaw dropped. That's how beautiful it is.

The book writer is Holly Black and illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi.

This book is designed so beautifully, some pages can be unfolded to bigger format pictures...it describes fantastic creatures and the illustrations of them are amazing.

What a fabulous find with 3 EURs. 

I am thinking to watch The Spiderwick Chronicles movie now...and as I looked into it there is also TV series that I was not aware.

Then I came across this Atlas of Wine. 

It is about all wine producing areas that there are around the world. Showing even wine bottle labels etc. 
Amazing book to have for 2 EUR in pristine condition.


Maybe I am under influence of this movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15282746/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk



When out thrifting, I always keep eyes peeled for tablecloths and bed spreads.

This one was tagged as tablecloth. It is linen in my opinion but I am not sure. When unfolded this cloth is double bed size...very large. I have red striped curtains in my living room so I will see how well its going to play out.










I found this sculptural vase and its fabulous. It has sticker attached on the base " The Pier" . At first I thought it is Pier 1 but now after little Googleing...It seems to be sold by UK furniture shop that is now taken over by Myakka.


It has been wonderful treasure hunting week. Looking forward to new discoveries.

  I think star find from this haul for me are these Kickers boots. I love the color and they are so quirky.  https://www.kickers.com/en/content/6-success-story This black bead necklace has so many strains that I cant even count them. Very effective and elevates any outfit. Two shawls. The wool tartan throw is by Abercromby & Fitch so soft and warm. I love the colors too. https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/CustomerService?pageName=brand-protection&storeId=19159&textKey=LEGAL_BRAND_PROTECTION&catalogId=11556&langId=-1 Other shawl had cute foxes on it that I could not resist. I love history and anything about Rome Empire fascinates me. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35403647-caligula Looking forward to read this and I hope its not disappointing. This " The Gilding Book" is a reference and good " How to guild" sourcebook.  Great coffee table book for inspiration. This is cool large wooden bowl, has also makers mark initials underneath. T G.

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!
