  First thing I noticed on the bag rack was color. This is such a beautiful green and then I looked at the condition and quality of the bag. All the metal hardware is flawless, the handles hardware rings have Charlotte Reid London engraved to them, all zippers are functioning and textile inside is flawless. This bag looks brand new to me. Here is info and other handbags I found online: https://instylefashionhk.com/collections/charlotte-reid-london?srsltid=AfmBOoq5-E3g9D7_KFUtHG-BJIThpY9LPkAQQ7bCv3_hUpiaE4I8HidD I was charmed by this Manga girl pendant. This girl holds Teddy Bear in her hands and she herself has animal eared headpiece and cute dress with  big bow on the back. Also cat head slippers that she wears adds to the cuteness. So Kawaii ! I adore her! I believe she is available on www.Temu.com I am not 100% if it is Kosta Boda plate or not because this glass plate have grapes and vine leaves pressed on the glass. But when I look around internet...other plates don't have...

  I' we been thrifting as usual in any possible occasion, just have not gotten around to document on blog. I shared this pic on Insta so here is quick post to blog. People who love pottery know Nicholas Mosse. He is renowned for his ceramic sponge wear. When I saw these, I immediately knew what these were and of course these are stamped on the bottom too. Maybe there is another collection starting? Who knows. These are such lovely pieces...although a bit granny cottage style, in same time they do have a sophistication to them.  https://nicholasmosse.com/pages/our-story They transfer their patterns to textiles and other objects too. I just had an idea that maybe I should go to visit their Mill during this summer as a daytrip. Second find was as lovely...very sturdy Millefiori wine glass. Quick Google lens and I think it is made in Murano and retailed under Leonardo brand. https://www.arnotts.ie/brands/leonardo/   I have found some amazing interior & lifestyle coffee ta...

  I found three Spode "Christmas Tree" range dinner plates. As I come from Estonia, I had no idea about this popular Spode Christmas range. When I saw these plates at the charity shop, I instantly loved the illustration. Turned plate around and it said Spode. I did know about the Spode...so I grabbed these. Coming home I Google and learned that this range has 85 years of history. Since it instantly spoke to me without knowing about it...there is a proof that it is a timeless range. Happy with my find. https://www.spode.co.uk/the-edit/post/into-the-archive-85-years-of-christmas-tree                                                                            I loved this thick glass candle holder. Looking around in internet, other people say it to be for Kavanagh ...

  Last week picks are from different charity shops.  Last week only home deco item was this glass vase. I love its design...two glass tiles with delicate iris picture infused. It has tube like vase in the middle so it would fit only 1 to 2 flowers. But I like it, its dainty and gives me Japanese vibe. It does have artist initial on the right below corner. I Think its A and E. Is this fused glass art ? Steven Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow " The Grand Design". I have not read it, I have only heard quotes from it and about this book. It's time to read it and wonder about Grand Design of things.  https://youtu.be/CMJFfaKZXRs?si=WPPbXm0j5klb9Hxj No surprise here. Jenny Gibbs " Interior Design" book. Written for interior design students and aspiring amateurs.  Yes, I am the latter 😀 It is interesting book. Advising on look at architectural drawings of the building, to take account of locations of doors and windows and how the light flows in the rooms...to create a moo...

  OMG. I loooove this lamp that I found at charity shop. It is not signed but it is European origin because of its EU plug...looking at the cord and switch it looks vintage 50s, 60s. I did Google Image search and 2 options...one almost identical was sold in the past at Poshmark and titeled as Murano. Sadly didnt saw the price it was sold for. Other similar lamp picture came up and said it was Polish origin. If its Murano...Wow. I consider it Epic find anyway because its so beautiful how those blue and green swirls show from white glass when it is lit up. Photo does not do it justice. Other art glass find on same day. Cute and beautiful color small Mdina glass bud vase.   https://www.mdinaglass.com.mt/en/aboutus/aboutus/1/about-mdina-glass.htm . Then I found this amazing coffee table book "The Painted House" by Graham Rust. He is a master of wall murals...so the book shows his designs. They are AMAZING. Found interesting video from YouTube  https://youtu.be/zb3nO5krsA...
