Arts Addict

  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.  https://www.joules.com/about-us 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. https://www.next.ie/en/shop/womens/jewellery Very long yellow faceted glass bead ...

  Underneath of all finds on main photo I have this tablecloth or maybe it is even bead spread...who knows. Its thick and good quality and has elephants on it...Indian? I think the thread might even be silk? There is no label and I am no textile specialist but it looks and feels fabulous.  Stunning find. This is fabulous red candle holder. It has carved eagles or cranes carved on the sides. It has also incised makers mark "Taelstone 1999 C " I could not find any info about but it or maker but looks beautiful quality to me and is heavy to hold one long candle and not fall over. Handmade turned and carved mango wood jar. Very nice indeed, to store anything inside really. 100% silk scarf by Tie Rack. Hand turned and stitched edge tell the quality oh it and I love its colors. The silk items ( like ties and scarfs ) were made in Italy.   Company is currently for sale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_Rack I could not resist this grumpy looking Santa. It is hand painted o...

  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...

  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. ...

  I cant be happier about my this weekend thrifting haul.                                                                            UGG EVER AUSTRALIA shoes Scored with this find. Big time. These suede leather shoes scream quality and seem to be warn only few times. They have great artsy look and vibe, they go well with skirt, dress or jeans. Prices for those if new is over 100 EUR. On the Outlet store around 50 EUR, I paid 12 EUR 👏 Yaaay! https://theuggshop.com.au/pages/about-us REFLEXAN LAUFKOMFORT SHOES These sneakers do not have any ware...there is no dirt anywhere, they are brand new. I cant find this brand homepage but what I read out from different online shops is that, it is German premium quality produce. I agree...I have not warn them yet but their ...

 I had so many cool finds this weekend that I need to divide this blog post to two. In addition what you see on this picture I also got 3 art pieces. I'll blog them separately. What got your attention when you looked at the photo. Red book? It got my attention all right. It is a large format hardcover book. Price brand new 30GBP. I got for 4 EUR. Weidenfeld & Nicolson Published. It has some stains on the side but I dont mind. It is the history of The Rolling Stones - according to the Rolling Stones themselves. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have come together for this remarkable book. They have also opened up their personal and band archives to include many rare and intimate photographs that are interwoven with their great stories of forty years of making music together.  "All music is connected especially in a little place like England. Nothing comes from nothing at all" - Mick Jagger "Music is a language that doesn't speak in pa...
