Thrifting artsy stuff and fabulous Albert Hadley book

-


 This haul consist stuff from different charity shop finds that I have popped in on different days.

The book is from the day when book gods smiled at me in one charity shop. I think I bought four coffee table books from that shop on one go. I will spread them in between blog posts to keep a variety of items.


These Keith Haring canvas trainers are very cool looking and on closer research I believe them to be Primark collection.

I don't think they are worth a big deal but anything artsy...I like.

Thomas Ferguson's Irish Linen production history goes back to 1845. That is incredible in itself.

The linen produce is finest in the World!

It just screams quality. Bonus is Celtic pattern. Of course I crabbed it. Never used, still packed. Fabulous!

These framed artsy tiles show seashells and are perfect for decorating bathroom.

I am not sure what company they are made by as I see on internet them sold as home decor, I am guessing no big value there but cuteness and charm value. That matters more than money. 





These earrings are plastic but I love the yellow accent color in otherwise neutral design. 

It reminds me 1990s and I was in my 20s then. Prime age and prime earrings.







This bronze sculpture figurine caught my eye. It is heavy and on the marble base. It is not signed. So I did Google Lens search and got AI answer that it could be by Dutch sculptor Astrid Veldhuysen Koppen. But I don't believe that is the case. Her works seem to be a bit different to me. 

Since it is not signed, I believe it to be home decor figure.

But cool piece anyway for art lover.





This coffee table interior designer book is absolutely fabulous and in pristine condition. It has cost 65 USD. I got it for 2 EUR.

Amazing! In addition thanks to that book I learned about Rizzoli New Your Publisher. They publish amazing art and lifestyle, interior design books! I want them. The hunt is on!

Sadly Albert Hadley is no longer with us. Born in 1920 he passed 2012. This book is amazing and shows his designed rooms and sketches that are very inspiring. He is considered as one of the most important American designers.

  I think star find from this haul for me are these Kickers boots.

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!
