It's no secret that I don't do clutter and I've successfully rehomed several items lately via the various free options open to me. However, it has its downsides in that being on such sites means that I see things which take my fancy. It's not helped by the fact I am a maximalist when it comes to my walls...in fact anywhere that is an upright space where I can hang my interesting treasures which is.exactly how I found myself with these two lovelies.
This one was lurking in a box labelled 'please help yourself' outside a house that I run past. After a clean it's come up looking refreshed and fits in happily with the folkart style of our bedroom.
As for this one...it was on complete impulse. Our local free group moves very swiftly so you can't hang about if something appeals to you. To be quite honest I didn't really expect to be offered it and this style of fantasy art is a long way from what I'd normally go for. However, something in the colours and the image just spoke to me. I didn't even know how big it was...turns out it's quite large. After many years David is quite used to my quirky ways...he just smiled and asked if I knew where I was going to put it. I had no idea, but it has a home now. It's devilishly difficult to photograph so please forgive the less than perfect images.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

The folk art wooden panel is lovely and your dragon picture is amazing! Sometimes impulse acquisitions are the best 😊
ReplyDeleteAnd here I have this fear of putting things on walls and too much clutter elsewhere. Both are unique finds.
ReplyDeleteThat folk art piece is gorgeous, I bet its a souvenir from Morocco, I'd have snaffled that, too!
ReplyDeleteLike you, fanatsy stuff isn't by bag but that is rather mesmerising.
Thank goodness for men who appreciate our left of centre tastes. Imagine being lumbered with a bloke who insisted on grey walls! xxx
Some things just speak to your heart. My Mum bought a ceramic dragon a few months before her death. It wasn't her usual thing but she said that it had such a sweet face that she couldn't resist it. I bought it home with me after she died, intending to sell it, but it got to me too and sits happily on my shelf, reminding me of her and making me smile every time I look at it.
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoy looking at it then it’s not clutter! X
