Hello there, I hope you are well. Sorry for the delay in posting but the weather has been a shocker around these parts making it impossible to take photos. Anyway better late than never I hope.
I had quite a good week last week on the thrifting front, a few good finds.I will share them with you once the weather picks up. Today though I wanted to share with you two of my favourites, both of which are from the car boot.
The first is a print that I fell in love with. I have named her Rosa because I have no idea who she really is, I shall have to investigate to see what I can discover. She reminds me of Pride and Prejudice, romantic, wistful and a little frail. All I need now is Colin Firth.....
Isn't she beautiful?
My second treasure is also a picture of sorts. I don't usually find nice pictures, it's usually frames that I buy to 'do up'. This one is maybe something that many people would find distasteful, my daughter and hubby included. I also find it a little distasteful but at the same time fascinating and beautiful. I also wonder where they might end up if I hadn't bought them? In tip somewhere rotting away and wasted. Who knows?
Anyway I brought them home and much to daughters disgust they are now hanging over the tv, here are my lovely butterflies....
I love them, even if it does mean that 'I have dead things looking at me'.
I hope that you have a good week. For more thriftiness drop by Sophies.

I like both of these. I'm "into" insects and botanical prints and things at the moment. i've even found myself looking at antlers at the fleamarket...sorry about the weather. i get daily reports from my sister in Ilkley, and it sounds like winter to me :(
ReplyDeleteRosa is beautiful, and yes a Colin Firth wouldnt be bad either! I do like the butterflies too. Hope the weather picks up cant wait to see what else youve found! Enjoy your week! x
ReplyDeleteLovely finds. I really like botanical type artworks. As long as it is all humane, of course! Have a lovely week. x
ReplyDeleteAt least the butterflies are being seen and not wasted, they are very 70's my mother in law brought some back from HongKong for me, you sometimes find them on coasters.
ReplyDeleteI really must post my treasure so I have an excuse for more :)

It is always wonderful to find such treasures, love that Print you found. Catherine x
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better, many recent framed butterflies (they've gotten popular again) are from butterfly conservatories at botanical gardens and museums, and they've died of natural causes :)
ReplyDeleteThe Butterflies really take me back to my childhood. They're beautiful and we used to see so many when we were kids. Not so now. My older brother had a fabulous collection when he was young and that's what came to mind when I saw your find.
