Flea Market Chic
Do you ever buy something on a whim, not because you need it but just because it suits your fancy? I have been known to indulge myself, but usually only when visiting charity shops or the flea market. My photo includes an example of each, resting on a chair I have been told belongs at the charity shop. It’s over 40 years old and I’m not parting with it just yet. The little glass pebbles were sitting on the “free” table at work where people put things they want to give away.
I think this collection qualifies for the daily challenge at “We’re Here!” -- “the wabi-sabi aesthetic”. The wabi-sabi aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, and typically includes asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, etc.
And for the Weekly Theme Challenge - “What Suits Your Fancy.”
This is my image for category 56, “Imperfect Beauty” in the group 120 pictures in 2020.
