TREASURES or JUNK?

I have always loved to rummage around flea markets and auctions. We would go some weekends to have a look. Like they say, 'Another mans junk; is another mans treasure.'

 I enjoy finding one of kind things, plus its a way to keep things out of the landfills and reusing things  Recycling is one way to do that.




RECYCLING FINDS

Pair of metal lanterns  have the rustic look with chipped paint, but i liked them the way they were for now;  maybe later will repaint them.  Something like this or in black

A wicker basket    is really useful to carry things outside on the terrace. I use it to take wine bottles or anything needed for dining al fresco.  A small piece of the wicker was missing around the handle so i wrapped twine around it, but will stain it to match.   A wicker basket is always handy!


A large bamboo tray,  also needed some repairing but its great and holds a lot of things. I use it for serving, or placing items to keep things organized in one place, i.e. the bathroom, creams, soaps, products.







Yes the things one can find while out is amazing and they are useful too. So a BONUS!


Are you a fan of flea markets or like to find things to recycle ? What are some of your finds or treasures?


NOTE: I always wash items first in hot water, bleach and liquid soap, to make sure its clean and fresh.  Now it is especially important to disinfect things.

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

 POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months.  One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face  when it’s windy outside.  It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days .  A pop of color is nice to see during the winter  season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice.  The Accessories .  I love to add a few accessories also.  Bracelets add a little interest to the look .  The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good  , as well as the multi twist bracelet.  Ps  The photo does not show the true color .  It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull .  After a few retakes no change.  Camera issues. 

DRESS. It up//fashion style

DRess It Up A simple grey knit top  is something I had been looking for sometime. Grey is not usually my pick,  but I thought time to try some other neutral shade.  The top is tunic style and loose fitting . Definitely a comfort piece.  I decided to add some different accessories to it.  This shiny silver piece just a bit of interest to the plain top.  Accessories are really a great way to give an outfit a different look.      Love this multi strand necklace . It suits this knit top, not to delicate but fun and an interesting piece.
