VINTAGE PERPETUAL CALENDAR

A sweet, perpetual calendar from the local VdeP - €2. I saw it, left it, went back two days later and was delighted to find it still there. Birds, blue, old - what's not to love?

YELLOW BIRD PLATE

It's got a bird; a yellow bird. It's a plate. Maybe Italian? I couldn't resist. €2 in the VdeP in Athlone :)

The painting was an eBay find that I had framed locally.
I love its lush brightness, it makes me happy.

BLUE & WHITE CERAMICS

I love nautical things. My new toothbrush holder.
€2 in the local NCBI shop 

I can't resist willow, blue and white or Arklow. €2, local VdeP shop

TOAST RACK

Latest Athlone find: a heavy, silver-plated toast rack. €1.
