A nice lot of toot this week - though I attended one car boot where I didn't buy a single thing, imagine that. Here's what I got elsewhere.
The sweetest little jumper for a kid - I like that it's good colours, none of that pastel crap: no pink or blue, just characterful stripes.
Some more characterful stripes - switswoo.
Is it a hanging basket? Or is it a drawing? . . . it's both.
And here's another with it's arms still attached, I love them. Something about hanging baskets (were you around when
this one turned up? That was a long time ago)
A sick-up swan for the
Pileas.
A 70s dressing gown in nice patterns. And what's that next to it? . . .
Oh it's only the best damn Christmas decoration ever. I feel this Chritmas I might finally decorate the house, after many years of feeling a touch too nomadic to make a real effort with any abode.
A slightly chilling Goofy mask.
And a painted basket - I love it when folks give wicker a thick coat of garish gloss, it makes such a wholesome and rustic looking material seem so Pop. And I've not seen one example of it done tidily to date - which is part of the charm. (Like
Craigie's pink cabinet)
Talking of charm: here is my Dad modelling the new
Gansey I got him.
that tree ornament is perfecto.
ReplyDeletefor a brief moment I thought the Gansey was going into the shop!
ReplyDeleteLucky your Dad!
That dad needs all the jumpers he can get - he's always making holes in them.
ReplyDeleteI love the ornament, I considered making some more in the same style but I don't think it's the same when I make things all rubbish like - someone else has to do it.
lovely findings!
ReplyDeletei like the little blouse,
has nice color compination.
& the christmas tree ornament
is so cute :)
your dad should start thinking
about modeling :)
very nice gift!
I shall pass your comment on to him!
ReplyDeleteswooning for that swan and the 70s wrap. Looks like your holiday decorating is complete already the little demented tree looks so charming on the wall
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. I have a thickly painted wicker chair of great loveliness x
