Yesterday was a perfect day for thrifting. There were so many great pieces and even the sellers seemed more motivated to sell than usual and I got some amazing deals. The market wasn’t too crowded, the whether was mild and it was just a little overcast (which makes it easier to shop and also photograph the pieces). I love all the 70’s wool stuff that I saw (like that owl, the hanging planter, and the wall-hanging) and how about that blanket with such unusual yellows, oranges and fuchsias? (It would have been mine but it was a bit stained-up.) I also fell in love with those three planters– what perfect colors– (they were a little pricey at $65 each.)
I came home with a lot of really great finds for myself and my clients and not only did a score an enormous, beautiful rug for a client in exactly the right colors and size, but I found a colorful Moroccan Wedding Blanket (Handira) for myself that I felt like was an engagement gift from the thrifting gods–but more on that later.
I hope that you all had a fun, relaxing weekend.
