Friday's Finds : Cute Kitsch


 Today I thought I'd show you my latest finds from
junk shops and car-boot sales. 


I enjoy browsing through dusty shelves and 
scattered stalls, and find myself drawn to the 
small, hand-painted creatures with chipped ears, faded 
colors, and crazing.


These little figurines aren’t just objects; they hold 
the gentle echoes of their past owners, perched 
on mantels, or gifted in moments of joy.


There’s something achingly beautiful about them.
Once cherished, now forgotten, cast aside as time 
marched on. Yet, in their worn features and 
delicate forms, they whisper silent tales 
of childhood wonder. 



I wonder who held them last, and 
what stories they silently witnessed. 



Now, they sit before me, poised on the 
edge of a second life, waiting to be loved again.



All these can be found HERE in my Etsy shop.
