Thrift Share - Wonderfully Wooden

Instead of getting out and visiting some sales this morning, I'm being lazy and parked on the couch.  I'm feeling more motivated though, so after this post maybe I'll go find some goodies to share next week!
I picked up this wonderful wooden ice bucket a few weeks ago.  
It was Handcrafted in Haiti by David Auld.  Though I don't know much about the Artist, 
its a lovely piece and I love the design.
This cute little bird isn't marked, but his wire legs and wooden body are so sweet.  He'll make a great accent for many of my photo shoots, so I think he'll get to hang around for a bit!
I'm not quite sure but I think this wooden container is some sort of bottle holder.  I've not seen one of these before, and not sure if it's actually vintage or made to look old...
but it's still pretty cool in my opinion.  
So maybe not fitting in with my wood theme, but I found several books recently that excite me.  I began researching Artist Robert Irwin when trying to uncover the artist that made this Rabbi piece marked Irwin.  Needless to say, I was delighted to come across this book on the Getty Gardens. I also really enjoy the vintage fashions in the "How to Draw & Paint book".
Speaking of Vintage fashion...check out these amazing Prada pumps.  Perfect for a Spring Ensemble... & they'll be up in the shop this week! (Size 7 1/2)

Can't wait to see what other vintage delights were rescued this week, so you know I'll be checking out all of the links over at Selena's & Sophies!  Hope you do too :-)

Thrift Art Gallery - Beautiful Mysteries

While I have some pretty cool noted artists included in my Thrift Art collection, there still remain some amazing paintings that for now belong in the Tomb of the Unknown Artists.
Can you help me Solve these Beautiful Mysteries???

 I've had this beautiful painting hanging in both of our homes & I really love it!
36" X 36" Oil Painting Signed Sandoval.  
There is an artist Robert Sandoval in Taos, but I was informed that this was not his signature...

This wonderful Geisha has been hanging as a centerpiece over the flat screen for a few months now.
She's just stunning & so masterfully painted.

12 X 24 Oil Painting of Geisha signed MFR?

I found this mixed media piece at an Antique Shop in Torrance, CA. 
I was drawn to the whimsy & petina of this amazing assemblage on thick block of wood.
The faces are drawn on rocks, and the small rock at the bottom is signed IRWIN.
I thought it may possibly be by Long Beach native & famous CA artist Robert Irwin.
I've sent out a few feelers to research the possibility, but still haven't been able to connect any dots.
Any ideas?
*****UPDATE****
I believe I've uncovered the mystery of the Irwin piece, and oddly enough have also bought another piece of his work.  I found this photo online on a Skinner auction page, and it just has to be the same artist.

Maybe someday the other makers will be revealed too, but for now I love them each the same.  All of these amazing works of art are proudly displayed around our home.
