One of the my most treasured finds is this screen-printed hanging found at a local Vinnie's shop a little while ago for a pittance. I'm not sure what the plant is but I love the artist's lines, colours and texture of the hessian (or burlap).
The design is signed Rodriquez. Upon further research, I discovered that this is an Australian second generation family business that is still designing and screen-printing tea-towels, particularly for the tourist market.
Do you remember the IKEA buffet that I gave away earlier this week? It has now been replaced with this vintage teak sideboard found at the Woolloongabba Antiques Centre. While not exactly at flea market prices, I am more than happy with it as I had been looking for a while and it is in excellent condition. It is now storing all my table linens and family photo albums.
This ceramic little fella was found at a thrift store while I was living in Ontario, Canada for a couple of dollars. His eyes are ridiculously large but I love him. He is in fact a money box. Check out more thrifty finds here.
