flea market finds: the secret word is "neck"
i have been enjoying summer and although i dont like to hang out at the beach here, i have been visiting it with the mister for walks and mindless beachcombing. and of course i've also been thrifting. recently, i have found stuff that centers around the "neck" (uncanny!). like these wooden-sculpted giraffes with their elegant necks that are just too cute to pass up. the lady manning the cash register said she would have gotten them herself had she known they were there cos she loves giraffes to death and almost everything in her house has the giraffe theme. they are about 5 to 6 inches tall and made of lightweight wood (am not sure what kind).when i got home, on closer inspection, i found out two of the giraffes have a missing ear each :( but its really not that noticeable :)(bought for .50p each!)another one that i found is a beautiful turquoise necklace and earrings set that is just absolutely hard to pass up! i bought them for £5 and when i looked them up online, they were a line from Debenhams which cost £25-£30! what a steal!this is a detail shot showing the bling ;)
