Zirgs! / Horse!
May 23rd, 2013
Tā bija absolūta, necerēta un milzīga laime.
Otrdienas vakarā, stiepjot gumiju pirms vēl darāmajiem darbiem, iegāju Etsy. Un tur priekšā – zirgs. Bez astoņiem kustoņiem, bet zirgs. Turklāt tāds, kādu vienmēr esmu gribējusi – kā no tiem karuseļiem vecās filmās. Turklāt tādā izmērā, ka droši varēs apmesties uz dzīvi manā dzīvojamajā istabā.
Ar to stāsts vēl nav galā. Maksājot par pirkumu, ieraugu, ka zirga pārdevējai ir dikti latvisks vārds un uzvārds. Tik ļoti, ka sākumā šķita – man nudien rādās. Izrādās, Inese dzīvo Nīderlandē, Amsterdamā, un no turienes priecē tādus kā mani ar visādiem senlaiku brīnumiem.
Īsāk sakot, ielieciet savā Etsy favorītu listē arī Ineses vintage veikaliņu.

It was pure, unexpected and absolute happiness.
On Tuesday night I was procrastinating and browsing Etsy on my iPhone when suddenly it was there. The horse! A horse I’ve been dreaming about and hoping to get myself someday, some happy day. A horse from the carrousel in those old black and white pictures. And this one came in just the right size for my living room!
And that’s not even the whole story. At the checkout I took a good look at the seller’s e-mail and suspected the girl being from Latvia. Her name and last name was so Latvian I simply couldn’t be wrong. One message later the truth was out there. Ines or Inese (her name in proper Latvian) is currently residing in Amsterdam and providing the world (and me) with great vintage finds.
The final note here – please, do yourselves a favour and add Inese’s shop to your favourite Etsy sellers.
