Stuff I Don't Want to Pack

I think the title says it all. Though I'm not running out to the store for empty boxes just yet, I'm starting to consider what will be moving with me when the time comes. So far I've sold some items of furniture on Kijiji, and there are a few more large pieces that need to be listed, but first I have to drag them out of the dreaded packed to the rafters storage locker.

For now I'm assembling, tagging and photographing some vintage housewares to list on Etsy. See something you like? Use coupon code 'CherishMoves' for 15% off your purchase in my Etsy shop.

Roundup: This Week in Thrifting

Besides the awesome flower painting in my previous post, I found some other cool vintage items while thrifting this week! Here is a roundup of my latest thrift store discoveries:

It wasn't until after washing this assortment of mugs and cups, and placing them upside down to dry that I started to notice a theme - they were all made in Japan.


Isn't this mug cool? I like the footed style,
and the retro colour combination used
in the Tiffany pendant lamps.



This fun retro mug also caught my eye.
For some reason I always fall for the 1970's
colour combination of orange, gold and green.


The artwork on these Japanese tea cups is so pretty,
they need to be on display.
I came up with a few ideas for every day use.



These brass candlesticks bucked the trend -
they were made in Canada!!
They're extremely heavy, and the brass
has a lovely warm glow.


This was definitely a good week for thrifting!
