November 10th Trip

My finds from this trip :)

2 large abalone shells:

I love these, they're so beautiful.

I found some forgotten Captian Kirk and Spock action figures, and washed them up:

They still had some caked-on dust on their shoes I had to go back and get later.

I found this fun sheep from Pier One:

It's about a foot tall/wide. It has a bit of wear, which is fine with me because I love to paint stuff, and this is perfect for customizing, since it already has been and isn't valuable or rare.

I almost got this desk clock (minus the clock) from Australia, but ultimately turned it down for some reason (I think Other Half urged me to not get it and now I regret having done so):

Adobe Painting

One of the finds from today is a beautiful painting of an adobe wall. Adobe, or mudbrick, has been the favored building material here in the American Southwest for hundreds/thousands of years. This lithograph is on a matting that is 8x10. It came in a frame I didn't like, so that was immediately donated back.

Fairy Door

One of my finds from today is this cute fairy doorway. The 'stained glass' in the doors is not opaque, so if you put a light behind it, it lights up quite nicely. It's about 8 to 10 inches, I estimate.

This photo was taken before I cleaned it - I know I tend to post pictures that are taken before I wash/condition the item - that's because I tend to forget to take an 'after' picture, because once it's clean, it tends to get put away in its new home. When I just get home with it, I have my camera with me and I can just take a snap of it.

Wedgewood

Today my Other Half found 2 small Wedgewood trays to add to the collection. I didn't photograph them after I cleaned them - they came out looking brand new. I'll try to get a picture of them clean at some point.

Birthday!

Today is my birthday, and I like to overdramatize that I'm getting old (at 31, I know I'm not really that old). I came across this cute little fellow and took a picture. "Just like me," I joked, "complete with a coat of dust!"

La Dolce Vita

On this trip, I came across this Dolce & Gabbana clutch for 4 dollars. I try to grab whatever D&G I come across because my first and last initials are DG. I like to take the logo and repurpose it. I am not a fan of them as personalities. The anti-gay family controversy broke out immediately afterward.

Madonna

On this trip, I found this awesome little mannequin wearing one of Madonna's iconic stage costumes. As a fan, I had to have it. Come on, vogue!
