The Old Spice shaving mug and small statue-ette are the last two items
of Monday's $2.68 splurge. (Remember, I also got two pair of men's slacks,
some doilies, and a linen towel included in this price).
My Protestant friends may not understand (I'm not sure I do myself)
my fascination with these objects. I don't even know their proper names.
(Above) See how my newest one is dwarfed by St. Francis already in my cupboard?
Here are a few others in my collection.
On a different subject...
I'm coming to realize I may not return to delving into
Boheme' or Wabi-Sabi style further.
I've concluded that I'm quite eclectic in my style
and will probably never tame or categorize it perfectly.
(I still can't get enough of Dawn's style, but I think I'll
always just be a wannabe.)
Some more thrifty treasures! You have great style and personality why try and put it in a category!! Enjoy all those wonderful treasures you found~Love Heather
ReplyDeleteThat Old Spice mug brings back memories of watching my Dad shaving when I was tiny!
ReplyDeleteI'm not religious but I do like the statuettes, there's something so tranquil about them x
I love your little collection there esp. the St. Francis statue and I'm sure I remember that Old Spice mug! Bonnie
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca: Just buy what you love and surround yourself with those items. You already do that so good for you! Have a sweet day. Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLoving your scores... and I too, though not Catholic, adore Catholic Religious pieces, they are Beautiful & remind me of my childhood since for generations we have had such Spiritual objects surrounding us regardless of denomination *we are a Family of diverse & blended Faiths*.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Organic Gypsy Post... yes, I do carry on don't I?! *winks* The Queen of Excess in ALL things I am... *LOL* More is NEVER enough, NEVER...

I was always fascinated by these statues Rebecca and I AM Protestant!!!
ReplyDeleteOh. I'd have bought all of those things too. No idea why. I don't even ask myself anymore.
ReplyDeleteI too love the statues. It is fun to explore styles and actually fun to come back around to discover you have your OWN isn't it?

Nope I am not catholic but there is something beautiful about the crucifixes and the Mary statutes. I can not resist buying them when I see them. Now with my house on the market, I have had to drastically clean out, but some things I will not part with. I am so glad you are still joining me on my journey. I will be back to blogging now. Thank you. I love your pieces.
ReplyDeleteI'm not catholic and I have a couple of rosaries. I just have them somewhere in a vase. No reason, just liked them, so I understand about your collection.
