vintage finds | back to vintage, baby

well. refrain oneself from thrifting and one finds oneself pretty soon in again, not? ☻ what with the summer sales on i love to treasure hunt in proper stores too. clothes, mainly. basics, if possible. and since i'm prone to suddenly have well enough of running in and out of shops, thrift shops do get thrown overboard for a good month. which results in a very happy return indeed, round about now.

it's all textiles these days with me, probably because i do need to get some skylights sorted out with fabric. this piece made my vintage heart swoon.

and a few gobelins seduced me for their colour schemes.

yep. back on track, i'd say. i'll be shopping your windows, oh, and go see sophie's too.

    Nice fabric selections. Fabric is certainly a weakness of mine.

    Hey! That's a work from Goya...I mean the drawing of those embroideries. Look:

    again, coincidence on us! I learnt this year at school about those tapestries he painted.
