second-hand finds

Here are some of the things i bought second-hand during November. I love to go flea-market and op-shopping very much. But these days I think pretty hard before I buy things, because I'm aware of how many things I already have. Also, how many things I have that I don't really use. You know how it is. 

So these are my new (old) things:

1) An Albrecht Dürer print of a rabbit. I'm sure my late Nana used to have one just like this on her bedroom wall. My Mum has an acquilegia print.

2) Haberdashery. My favourite thing to buy second-hand. Supplies like these always tell me what they want to become.

3) A little handmade pottery jug. I really didn't need it. But I love it anyway.

    I love the Durer print and well all of it. I’m trying (a little bit) to stay out of the op shops too, I’ve got more than I’ll ever need really. But who could pass up such a pretty jug?

    i hear you on the stuff…but who could resist the Durer rabbit and sometimes it is the very thing that we don’t really need that brings us a smile when we most need it. x

    yes, Durer, oh. I have ” the great piece of turf” on bathroom wall.
    I just came home from a near by thriftstore with a bag full of zippers, for 1 euro!
    I think, that a thing one does not need, but is just beautiful, can be the most important thing there can be. Beauty heals souls and lighten hearts and makes days better.

    lovely things – esp the print – I love it when things ‘speak’ to you, it’s just the most wonderful creative connection isn’t it! Cx
