Saturday thrift - Star Wars, jewelry, Joules dress, books, aroma therapy

Its been while since I posted - does not mean I haven't thrifted. I have. But today I felt like making a post again as I am thrilled with my haul.

When I saw this dress, I was drawn to it because of green color ( in my Green period currently 😆). Next it felt so good to touch. 100% Cotton. Brand new, never warn. Only at home I looked it up from tag. Joules.

I never heard of brand but I am thrilled to learn that it is considered a very good British quality brand.

Happy days to find this dress for fraction of their retail price.

Bright red cube ring. No idea who retails it but I really like geometric form jewelry. It looks, modern, crisp clean lines and artsy at the same time.

This one is fabulous necklace by Next. I believe the discs may be colored coconut shell. Not sure. But the color and look is fabulously artsy - and that is the look I am always after.

Very long yellow faceted glass bead flapper necklace. Can be warn two stranded or let it fall as long it is.

Feels quality.

" The Mighty Book of Boosh " appears to be by hosts of last decade british TV show.

I never seen this comedy show. I was drawn by the artsyness ( again...) and creativity of how the book is illustrated and put together. Very creative.

I think I need to look the TV show now as well to get the full understanding of their humor and creativity.

"Glaudius: Living, Fighting and Dying in the Roma army" by Guy De la Bedoyere. I am a sucker of ancient Rome so had to buy this.

In Goodreads some historian reviewer says its not accurate. I take that as a note but I really like history and even I enjoy reading fictional history as it is a food for fantasy. I give it a go.

This is original Disney Star Wars Boba Fett helmet mug. I do like Star Wars franchise and have seen all that's been on screen.

Mandalorian was super. Still, I am not so big fan to keep this mug and this one goes to my Ebay shop, and if it sells, it covers the rest of my spending at charity shop.

PS! I was delighted to sell Disney's Cheshire cat figurine recently - so hoping maybe mug will sell too 😊

Fingers crossed!

This is a aroma therapy set and good smell is welcome at my home 😀

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. ...
