Exciting finds Waterford crystal, Diem ceramics, Louis Mulcahy, wool tweed

Its been a while since I blogged my thrifting finds. It does not mean that I have not been doing it. Oh, I have and have found good stuff too. Its just I recently started working at new company and that work and learning new skills and ropes of the job has me squeezed empty and abandon the blogging for a while. I am feeling it today to make a blog post as all the staff was at hand to take a photos of some of my finds.


What a fantastic necklace this is. Its most likely costume but in fabulous modernist style that I love. Brass tone and tiger eye faux stones.

At home I made a Google lens search and found a earring and necklace set was sold at Ebay for 70 USD or so. I dont have earrings. But love the necklace when I only paid 6 EUR for it. 

Seller describes it as VTG Brass Artisan Modernist Faux Tiger's eye necklace.

I wonder who produced these? This is yet to be discovered.




Here is another cluster of jewelry. Most usual looking of them is silver tone pretty simple ring. But I liked the simplicity and clean lines of it. It does have tiny pink rhinestones. I am convinced that it will look fabulous on sunlight and go well with the lovely pink nail polish that I have.

Then this large crystal heart pendant. At home looking it up, turns out to be Waterford Crystal. 

It does not seem that they produce it anymore and I am seeing people listing it and saying it to be vintage. 

Waterford crystal is a thing since 1783. Wow!

Ant that necklace is so unusual. I havent seen before. Its so artsy. Great find! People say it to be Debenham Deco. 


Another necklace. I think its acrylic beads but I loved how dainty the beads are, specially love that light green color long tube beads. 











Flawless Thomas Diem ceramic pot for nibbles. Put in there olives, salted nuts, serve dessert...anything really and ceramics is my weakness :)

This one has fabulous melted crackle glass inside at the bottom of bowl.

Another pottery find. I believe it to be Louis Mulcahy. It is signed and dated 04 below. Only the signature is unclear to read out. Bowl is large, perfect for pasta serving or just keeping fruits in it. In perfect condition.
















A wonderful brass picture frame. It was charming so I could not leave it behind. 

all of the finds I laid out on the top of Tweed Wool blanket. Irish woolen mills are know for its quality and this one is no exception. You just know only looking at it and I love these autumnal colors. Blanket does not have a tag, so I am unsure by what woolen mill it could be. 

And on the main photo I have also fashion tights, that I am always picking up. Happy thifting!

  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.  https://blackholly.com/   https://diterlizzi.com/ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/277187.Arthur_Spiderwick_s_Field_Guide_to_the_Fantastical_World_Around_You 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.

  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 ...
