thrifting.


as i put the finishing touches to a small collection of eames screen-prints, i am also juggling the fun job of editing photos of my latest treasures. you could almost call it a part-time obsession, this treasure hunting business. it's up there with my passion for making art & baking cakes and it definitely takes me to my happy place. one of the main reasons i started writing a blog was to share my latest creations together with my thrifted treasure. sharing the second hand love is a beautiful thing and why i decided to take some time out on this productive sunday night to share my latest finds with you. found anything uber delicious this weekend that i ought to know about? have a good week!



one of the perks of living so close to germany. this beautiful and bright west german vase is now the centre of attention in our lounge room. a wooden pineapple plate that's a little slice of home, now rests by my bed side.


snagged a couple of floral tablecloths at the local market yesterday. flower power baby.


picked up this beauty from a gorgeous belgian couple at the last swanmarket. they had a caravan full of treasure and reminded me that the belgians really know their vintage.


a round floral tablecloth that will soon adorn our new tulip table. 


it was a lucky stop at a new opshop a few weekends back. i filled my bike basket with these enamel/tin beauties for a bargain price.


pattern LOVE. who knows what i'll make out of this but for now i'm happy to just adore it. 


an unmarked treasure that i just couldn't leave behind. had nothing to do with the 50c price tag. ;)


oh vintage floral. you will always have a huge piece of my heart dedicated to only you.


a retro photo album containing photos of a 1975 fleamarket. talk about perfection.


there are no words. but a #coasterperfection hashtag makes sense.


i foresee a valentine's day photoshoot. <3 nbsp="" p="">
