Match-making

One of the most enjoyable aspects of treasure-hunting in thrift stores is when serendipity conspires with persistence and rewards unites two things long separated that were clearly meant to be together. Once such example is these two wooden sculptural bangles, bought months and miles apart. I came upon the brown wood bangle first, in a Sacred Heart Opportunity Shop in South Melbourne, and then many months later, its candy pink mate, in a Savers thrift store in Berwick.

It was a delightful surprise to discover how well their twisted asymmetrical shapes blend. They are, clearly, quite cumbersome however, so are not practical workwear; they are still waiting for their night to shine.
