Vintage finds...



I had a great weekend as my sister was down to visit! We had the best time and got to hunt through some local antique shops. I found a gorgeous little mirrored tray, an old chinese vase, and the sweetest sugar pot in the world (pictured above). I also found this woollen shawl in an old suitcase after rumaging through all the other scarves... I was stunned to find this beauty! I absolutely LOVE them all !!! Now I just need to find new homes for them... My sister got some fabulous pieces as well including some crystal vases and a gorgeous crystal perfume bottle! We also went to the American Impressionsism Exhibition which has travelled from the MET in New York. It was so amazing and was a great way to spend the final hours of our weekend, topped off by a glass of wine overlooking the Brisbane river :-)

Arty weekend...

Caged 2009 by Claire Stening

Well, it's finally the weekend! I am thinking of maybe visiting some local galleries and seeing the work of some amazing artists that I have admired for a while now. First stop would be the Edwina Corlette Gallery to see Claire Stening's STUNNING work! Then on to Gallery 2120 to see Lisa Rink's work. I also can't wait to visit the Queensland Art Gallery and see the American Impressionism and Realism exhibition which is only coming to Brisbane (very exciting!!!). Whatever you are up to on the weekend, I hope it is refreshing!!
