Made and found

At long last I feel like things are under control work wise. Things spun out of control there for a while. I took a few pics over the weekend of new things around the house. More made items to follow tomorrow, lots of new dishcloth experiments to share with you all.


The poster above, found in France, bought from a teeny antique store owned by a very sweet french version of a Brooklyn hipster.


 The zig zag chevron carpet that still has its newness creases in it.


Some Mozambican certificates pilfered from hubby's mums garage that I stuck in a vase.


Found these two wonderful cream ceramic things from the Hospice store that I have big plans for but for now will be candlesticks. The hand painted yard stick in the back round from Falksons Tent Makers.


The gold cage lamp that I photographed and then promptly dropped and broke (luckily just the bulb) boo hoo...


And this old beauty! Imagine traveling with a set of these. The luggage tag still has the owners name on it, a greek surname and an address in Hyde Park JHB, maybe I should track him down and see if he has the rest of them.

    Hey, I've also got some of those ceramic things that I picked up in the Karoo. Apparently they're used on telephone poles.
    Ps. Very beautiful blog and photographs
