Thrifted - Finds of the day


Some random scores from the thrift shop:


"Communication" Jackson Beardy 1975

Beautiful framed serigraph by artist, Jackson Beardy. Signed in pencil. 

According to Gilmore Gallery of the Arts, "Jackson Beardy, an Ojibway artist, was a leading Native figure in the late 1960s and 1970s, advocating both politically and artistically for the rights of the peoples of the First Nations in Canada."

Tivoli - Lars Bo 1979

 Framed Tivoli print from Danish surrealist artist, Lars Bo.

And just for fun, a vintage wooden bird whistle. I do not know much about it, but it appears hand-painted, and makes brilliant sound.


 Honestly, the best thing about thrifting is the utter randomness of it. You never know what you may find. I love it.
