Vintage draws: Part 1


I'm an old soul in certain ways.

Vintage and antiques,
I find pleasure in adoring.

Stained glass.
Absolutely, absolutely in LOVE with them.

I'd look at those in my bedroom, tracing the intricate designs on the colourful slates till I fall into deep slumber. It's inexplainable how much comfort I find in them.





Mosaic tiles are another favourite of mine.

Sharing some that I traced my steps on in Ipoh and Taiping, Perak.





These black and white ones are rather contemporary.




I like these because... they're identical to the ones at grandma's.




Very coffee shoppish. Kopi kau, satu! :)




Blues... blues..... blues~~~




Randomly placed orange pieces but still so pretty.




During one of my previous Penang trip, I found some lovely mosaics too....

Earthen and light grey paired with blush pink mosaic...

Note the 3D effect. Charming.




Monotone yet psychdelic.... intriguing.




There were so many others that i regret not taking now.


Well, there's always room for a next trip. :)
