Hello Precious Friends !
Hope and pray that you are enjoying your wandering in the market of the world and choosing carefully what you
EXACTLY NEED
and avoiding successfully what is unnecessary to you !
Shopping is NEED for people who have limited money in hand yet know so well
HOW TO USE IT TO FULFILL THEIR ALL ACTUAL BASIC NECESSITIES !
they consider their money a "Shelter " which protects them from harmful seasonal effects of life!
Shopping is Torture for those who have NO CONTROL OVER THEIR Wishes and wild DESIRES and always FEEL SO LESS AND HELPLESS when they come to shop!
Shopping is FUN FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EXTRA OR UNLIMITED MONEY and find it an exhaust fan which releases their negative energy
Sharing some stuff that i bought during our recent previous visit to Islamabad ,hope you will like it,
This one is most favorite due to it's theme of "relaxation" which is lacking in my busy life right now
Found this painting fascinating ,talkative and gloomy ,ruins and sunset are telling the s story of life and time !
I found myself hidden inside this little girl waiting for her father ,holding candle which reflects hope faith and little bit of fear
Though painting has sadness of disappointing waiting night with off candle tired closed eyes yet it has delicacy of love with hug of teddy bear
This beautiful valley reminds me my native lashing village :)
whenever i look at this i remember my childhood enchanting days
shopkeeper was giving me exactly same vase in 600 rupees but i bought this one with very minor defect in 200 rupees
This one is not from antique shop
Graceful lady from village and with farming stuff
Choice of my youngest son :)
very much liked by my heart an old wise sweet and kind lady :)
you can call me Mad for blue so i bought this wondering lady
Hubby 's choice ,i find it nice too
Since we are back we are so much busy as kids studies have started and monthly tests of youngest son keep e busy with him in my free times
we have also bought a brand new Samsung bigger t.v of 50 inches to amuse our weaker eyes few days ago from Sukkur. Our previous one was 24 inches .
i will buy flowers for my vases in my next visit to sukkur city ,though i hung the paintings .
next month i will also visit my doctor for throat bleeding which is quite better and reduced to almost nothing but hubby is not satisfied with occasional less bleeding specially when we eat outside or fried stuff.
weather has started to be little kind and air is singing the songs about coming autumn which hurt my neem tree and he drops some orange tears :(
Life goes on and until we breath each moment is gift ,which we should not only accept it but embrace it cheerfully :)
God Bless You All!!!
Some nice finds! And you'll enjoy that much bigger TV -- so easy to see!
ReplyDeleteSome very nice acquisitions. I love to my used books. I also like to explore used bookstores. I highly recamend Thomas Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd. I am currently reading his Return of the Native.
ReplyDeleteYour finds are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely additions to your collection. May you enjoy them in good health and happiness.
ReplyDeleteLittle girl with candle is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see your "finds" Baili and sure they will find a wonderful new life within your home. I also prefer to buy recycled books because so many are deserving of another read. Your introductory observations on how different people regard shopping was very interesting. I enjoy shopping but get more excited about used items rather than new. That said, your larger new TV does sound like it will bring your family much pleasure.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fun you had shopping, thanks for sharing! The books look interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour choices are perfect. My favorites would be the 2 quaint villages.
ReplyDeleteEstimada amiga, menuda compra has hecho, todo muy bonito aunque me gustarÃa destacar esas novelas y revista, ya que soy un amante y coleccionista de prensa y libros viejos.
ReplyDeleteCuÃdate esa garganta y ten cuidado de no caer en el consumismo, tan habitual por estas tierras y de la que la televisión tiene mucha culpa, con tantos anuncios publicitarios.
Un cordial saludo para toda la familia.
I like your artistic choices. The vases really caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteYou have got some very nice finds there … enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
What a wonderful treasure hunt...beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteUsed books are fantastic deals. You can almost tell how good they by their condition. Dog-eared pages usually mean that they have been read many times so they must be interesting to read!
Hugs Baili❤
Those are such pretty items! It's always fun to find treasures in those shops.
ReplyDeleteYou will love having a big TV. So much easier to see as we get older :)
You did have fun lots of lovely things there, I saw the movie Far from the madding crowd many years ago when I was a teenager and have the book somewhere but never got around to reading it.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures.
Merle............
I love all the paintings you have chosen. They all have their individual stories to tell :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have some nice "companions" there to think about now, and I hope you succeed in the organic gardening. I'm glad about the improvement in throat bleeding and the new TV sounds terrific! Enjoy the weeks ahead with your new possessions, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you shared your wonderful finds, Baili. I have a feeling the "hunt" was lots of fun.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your throat condition - that it be reduced to absolutely nothing, that it be gone by the time you return to the doctor.
God bless you.
You will enjoy the larger TV very much. Thanks for sharing your shopping.
ReplyDeleteI love antiques.
ReplyDeleteAnd have a lot.
Watches, jewellery, books, paintings, pottery,...
Here and in Portugal.
It is interesting to see what draws other people's attention in a store. We are all different with different tastes! I do like your vases as I seem to be attracted to all kinds of vases even though I rarely have flowers in them.
ReplyDeleteI hope your throat continues to improve, baili. Good luck at your doctor visit.
i just love reading your posts, dearest Baili! thank you for sharing these photos...so interesting to see what shopping looks like for others! you have some great finds there! all my love to you...<3
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see the things you chose at the antique shops, the painting that reminds you of your village looks like it might be a Constable. I love farm scenes. I am worried your throat is still not completely better so hope you will see your doctor and resolve.
ReplyDeleteYou got some very special things! All very beautiful! Have fun with your books! Please take care of your throat! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely treasures you got! My favourites are the books, and the painting of the little house with the horse drawn hay-wagon and the ducks. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a cheerful weekend, my friend! Enjoy your new TV! :-) Hugs!
well written with a lot of beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeletehave a great day
I love the paintings and the pretty vases that you chose. Thank you for sharing your photos. I hope your throat feels better soon and that the doctor is able to help you. I'm behind reading blogs, but I am getting caught up now finally. Wishing you a happy weekend, my friend! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, cool post. I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real hard work to make a great article… but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though.
