I adore them! I thought it might be fun to talk about our big treasure finds. 8 years ago I was at a church rummage sale when I found a painting of a butterfly that I really loved for a buck. The painters name was Gabriel and was obviously a hobby painter. I adore it because the butterfly is very um.......not cutesy, but it captures the flight feeling really well.
So, a few months ago I was digging through some paintings at another sale and I find this other butterfly painting I liked. I took it home and hung it in the same room, stepped back and realized it was by the same painter! The style was the same, the brush strokes, the medium.....it was obviously the same painter.
What are the odds of finding two paintings, by the same non professional painter, 8 years apart???? Pretty low right? It's a rummage sale miracle!
Also one time I found a real vintage Loiuse Vutton purse for a buck! In good condition too!
What have you found??
