Before heading to Inch Beach we called at a carboot sale. Just for a change.😄 You never know what you will find and being part Womble and part Jackdaw we had to go and have a look. I am not a fan of decluttering and minimalism. I like to collect and why not?
This is what we bought:
I paid 5 Euros for it and it looks quite old.
The angels Gabriel and Michael are hovering on both shoulders.
I am not much of a regular church goer these days. I do still believe in God and I do like visiting old churches and graveyards, especially when I visit England.
I hung the picture up in the bedroom and I woke to an amazing sense of calm and peace. Perhaps I will start collecting Christian pictures? I have a framed picture of Jesus in a suitcase that I must get the glass fixed and hung up again. When I do get it repaired I will post it on here for your perusal.
I also bought a Leonardo Collection cup. You can buy them new online.
It's subject is London in dear old Blighty or England even. There is the Post Office Tower, Saint Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben and a red London painted on the cup.
I like it and it reminds me of the old country and it is added to our collection:
A London Mug.
See you tomorrow. It will be a potatoes planting post.
Had to read "Jesus in a suitcase" twice!!
ReplyDeleteYes. He's in a small suitcase of old family photos Sue.
ReplyDeleteYou would not like our home, no clutter, we are not minimalist, I do like ornaments, just not too many.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of stuff we have collected over the years and inherited Marlene.
DeleteWhen we moved here 16 years ago we started sorting stuff, it's been very rewarding.
DeleteThat's good. We have a lot of sentimental stuff like my parents ornaments that I could not let go. My dad loved collecting from carboot sales and flea markets and I like to do the same.
DeleteI have colourful puctures of Jesus all around me here in my windows!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to your potato post tomorrow.
I saw a lovely big framed picture of Jesus and thought it would look perfect in your church house JayCee. It can rain now the seed potatoes 🥔 are planted.
ReplyDeleteJesus in a suitcase? I didn't think they had suitcases in those days. I think one of Harry Houdini's tricks was to scrunch up inside a suitcase before making his escape.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be a great name for a rock band YP?
DeleteWe have half a wall of oldish looking icons in our bedroom. But it's the tradition here. Can't say I've felt any peace because of them. May you always be calm and find peace of mind. Working in your garden will help with that too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a blog post idea for you Linda. I would like to see them please! Totally relate to what you say about working in the garden. My mind set or mood even after an hour of walking. I think my pictures subject originated in Greece?
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. It is very serene and has good detail with the angels Gabriel and Michael and some words. A good purchase Dave.
ReplyDeleteI knew you would like this Rachel. I thought it was beautiful and needed bringing home. Thanks Rachel.
