Hidden Treasures- Around the house

It's that time again when I share with you my latest finds from local thrift shops. I would say I have definitely scored yet again. My poor fiancé who has to put up with all my vintage finds around the house. 

Cool blue Chinese pottery that creeps out my fiancé, reminds him of an urn. Ha.

 A very pink Buddha statue that will fit in nicely with the Buddha & elephant statue family I already have back in Quebec City.

 Vintage crystal decanter liquor bottle, heavy duty yet stylish.

Delicate yet detailed salt/pepper & sugar dish.

Best purchase ever, half a set of Aynsley China...now to find the other half (you know what that means more thrifting)!

Hidden Treasures- Handbags

So we have seen from my previous Hidden Treasure posts I love all things vintage. Well I am here to tell you it doesn't just stop at jewelry, books, or dishes... it is also handbags! To be honest I would say I have over 40 vintage bags I have collected throughout the years. Sure I like designer handbags but I love vintage ones. There is nothing more rewarding then finding a bag in perfect condition with an unbelievable price tag. It is always fun to open them up and see what Edna (ok I don't really know the names of previous owners I just pretend) left in there. I have seen anything from kleenex, to lipsticks, to toothpicks. Here are some of my favorites.

 Black Sequin detail

 Cute purple structured clutch. Perfect option when you want to easily add a pop of color to your outfit.

 Crazy shape, hand detail, snakeskin pattern, I died. I had to have this sexy thing in my closet.

 This guy is actually a dark green, beautiful leather, & extra long strap (great for cross-body wear).

My go to going out bag. The grey goes with everything & I can wear it cross-body (my fav, easy to drink & dance).  

 Gorgeous smorgeous structured brown leather cross-body bag. The inside has crazy compartments to store pretty much everything.

 Soft Black leather fold-over clutch. Summer luncheons? Date night? so many options.

 This is my biznas looking bag. Messenger-like blue bag with awesome gold closure detail.

Aww love love this buttery soft camel leather Hobo bag. I usually prefer smaller bags but when I need to lug around lots of things I am glad I have this secret weapon. It is also perfect for travel; it fits my Ipad, snacks, & all my mags.
