Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Coming across something I haven't seen before is one of the best perks of thrifting. I am smitten with this set of Asian ladies and the intricate details of their kimonos. Have you ever seen anything like them? The delicate faces appear to be hand painted and the silky fabric gives them a three dimensional quality, but the backing is tagboard. The red cords would suggest they may have been intended as ornaments, but I think they would be so lovely in a framed display. Available
This charming little tassel angel is pretty enough to display year round! Available
I love the sweet embroidery on this handmade apron. I am still pondering how I might use it.
How gorgeous is this crocheted runner? It's a keeper, for sure!
That's all folks--until next time, happy hunting!
MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR FEATURING THIS POST:
Those Asian ladies are unique for sure. I love the idea of them framed. I notice that you do what I do after thrifting....keep at least one treasure for yourself!
ReplyDeleteLove the runner! Looking forward to seeing how you will use the apron too :)
ReplyDeleteAww, that sweet little apron is precious! Love the white angel too. The set of Asian ladies is quite interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe Asian ladies are unique; I've never seen anything like them. The apron is charming - will it fit Your dress form? Great finds Cecilia!
ReplyDeleteOH my Goodness...I think I have tea towels that match the embroidery on the apron. I will have to check.
ReplyDeleteThe apron and runner are fabulous! I would have swiped them up, too! I have a similar angel ornament, so cute. xo Kathleen Charm Bracelet Diva {At Home}
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like those Asian ladies. They're quite fabulous! Love the apron too. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the ladies, the apron and that runner! Great finds. Nothing here as all of Oregon (well, almost) is trapped by snow and ice. Not the time to be out and about.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, 25-30 years ago, I had some ornaments almost exactly like those Asian ladies! I had ordered them from a catalog (can't remember which company) and hung them on our Christmas tree for a few years. I agree they would look great framed.
ReplyDeleteFun finds Cecilia ... love the apron and crocheted piece. That will look pretty on your table. The Asian ladies are so very unusual.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

That apron is just darling; you might consider framing it?
ReplyDeleteMy grandpa was in advertising, and in the 70's he had a TON of those Asian ladies. We had some of them mounted on stuff paper and hung in our hallway as decor for many years. I don't know why he had them but they must have been part of some advertising campaign. He lived and worked in Baltimore at the time.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue bird on the apron
ReplyDeleteI use to embroidery when I was in my 20's a life time ago
What a fun collection! I could definitely see that runner in several different tablescapes.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds this week! The Asian ladies are beautiful and I agree they would be beautiful framed. That apron stole my heart with all the lovely embroidery especially the bird. Thank you for sharing at the Snickerdoodle Create~Bake~Make link party! I am featuring your finds today at the party.
ReplyDeleteLove the apron!
