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.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Sunny Days Eyewear//fashion , designer eyewear

T HE RIGHT ONEs Summer and the sun is something we all look forward to. Getting outside enjoying the sunshine but most important is to to protect your eyes! I have been looking for a new pair of sunglasses. Thinking I might get a pair of design ones, Chanel , Gucci ?? Well more importantly is to get a pair with a higher UV number . Apparently there is no difference from a designer pair or a pair from any shop . Other than the price.style or quality. Looking at and trying sunglasses checking fit is important . The style look and what suits you are all things to consider . The UV protection is what really matters also something I didn’t know was the side part of thin matters also. Why? If to thin UV rays can enter and effect your eyes. So the sides of sun glasse is something else to consider . Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
