Thrifting watercolor art, artsy glass bead necklace and French Chateau Guide

 






Here is a wonderful art glass bead necklace that i found.
Super artsy and BOHO looking. I love it.

Underneath it is linen tablecloth...that I also have found in the past by - yes, you guessed it, thrifting! 😌















This is so charming watercolor Nasturtiums by Valerie A Lane. But I tried to find something about her and could not. Maybe she has changed last name (by marrying). It is original and very skillfully drawn. This picture whispers to my soul ever so quietly.












In one my earlier blog post I told that I have discovered Publisher Rizzoli. So, here is a second book that I found by that publisher called " One Mans Folly: The Exceptional Houses of Furlow Gatewood ". It is about our living environment and designing it.

When I was looking this book up on the internet I stumbled upon fabulous YouTube channel with these kind of books review. What a treat! Very enjoyable videos and here is link for the review of this book:
Other interesting book is Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay: French Chateaux and Hotels.
Yes, today one can find all that info over the internet but it is different to hold a book at your hand and look up carefully collected interesting places to stay in France. Specially Chateau's.

Thrifting Banksy, jewelry, Hilfiger, diffuser, Masai Copenhagen

  I had "guns blazing"  fun with thrifting last week.  This Tommy Hilfiger pouch bag fits under arm perfectly and is brand new. Does not seem to be never warn. I can see how this design is influenced by Louis Vuitton. Textile with initials but then having Hilfigers iconic blue and red stripe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Hilfiger   These are two costume jewelry pieces that I picked up. The earrings are interesting to me because these are like very thin mesh tubes that have tiny crystals in them. The ring is no doubt a statement piece. I think its the largest ring I ever had. This Banksy's street art depiction was fun find. What makes it extra interesting is that it is print on the glass not paper. In my opinion it brings it to high quality level. The frame works so well too with it. If I am not mistaken it us by this company: https://artdesigna.co.uk/collections/banksy?srsltid=AfmBOoq87xvnEg0hTFx2oSGZ5K7P0KKfTiejFdm1WVP9zpmkiTyPVWXD Panda with Guns originally ...

Last week thrifting finds

  This is a compilation of items I picked last week from different charity shops.  One thing I always looking out and picking from charity shops is colored tights . Why pay about 8 EUR in department store when you get them from charity for 2EUR. For me they are perfect to make any outfit more interesting. Look at that color and pattern. Its fabulous. Wonderful oversized pottery mug or bowl. It is not signed and it is heavy to lift. I think it is someone's handmade project. That is what I like about it. I served a salad from it and it brought instant artsiness to the table. Bonus is its lime green inside and dark green outside glaze. Then I found these Casa Decor drawer knobs . Very good quality. Currently I have bed side tables with boring wooden knobs. I  think I need to do a makeover, to paint my side tables with new exciting color and use these knobs. I think knobs require darker color to make them pop.  Searched them up from internet. Quality Indian home decor. ...
