Saturday I went with my dear friend Eric, we have very similar tastes in things, except when it comes to lamps. I know I am partial to really tacky lamps, I dub them "so hellish they're fabulous". Eric thinks I'm crazy. I came very close to picking up this insane lamp - it was a squaw with a papoose on her back, carved from wood, about 3.5 feet tall without the lampshade. It was so wrong it was right - Eric absolutely refused to let me buy it. I suppose cooler heads prevailed.

| Individual covered butter dish -- HOW CUTE IS THIS? I had to have it. |
 |
| I have a weakness for cute bird figurines, and that warped deer was pretty cute, too. There's a better picture of that GORGEOUS tin behind them. |
 |
| Paper Blanks journal - I love any kind of Buddhist art, and this is also sparkly in some places, even better. |
 |
| Melmac serving bowl - in phenomenal condition - LOVE! |
 |
| I bought these for my friend Steve who collects owls, but they're so cute I want to keep them. I'll be nice and give them to him anyway. |
 |
| At this amazing estate sale I was told to pack a box full of craft supplies for $10, and it was a HUGE box, I was just stuffing rick rack and other great things in there, and when I unpacked later, I came across these amazingly adorable wood mushrooms. |

| Mid-mod snack tray with wooden handles, I just LOVE this! |
 |
| This tablecloth came from a flea market a few weeks ago, didn't post it then -- as I was handing my money to the lady at the table, she told me this was a Vera tablecloth. I didn't see a signature or a tag, but either way I fell in love with the bright graphic flowers, so Vera or no Vera, I love it. |

| Barometer from Air France Concorde...how funky is this? |
 |
| My Craigslist white metal Daybed in the studio, also a vintage wooden sewing box stand I picked up for $10, right now it's FULL of unopened vintage rick rack. |

| Two flowers for my hair and a barely used guitar strap - the colors are amazing. |
This weekend we are due to go to a Motorcycle show up in Rhinebeck, NY. I am hoping to either thrift or hit a few sales in that area while we're over there.
I'm linking with Apron Thrift Girl's Thrift Share Monday.
The melmac, the mushrooms, the owls - love 'em.
ReplyDeleteI'm not as nice as you, I'd keep the owls for myself.
I adore the owl creamer & sugar set-- I think that company made a whole line of owl items as I own a very similar toothpick holder & spoon rest.
ReplyDeleteThe wood mushrooms are amazing too, any ideas on how you'll use them?
I have a few ideas for the mushrooms! Some have floral wire attached, some don't. I might incorporate some of them into one of my art guitars. I was also thinking about using some in a woodland themed "fascinator" for the hair. Maybe earrings? Right now I just like lookin' at them :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the Melmac serving bowl. I picked one up similar to that and love it. I also think the mushrooms are adorable and the little bird figurines. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteThe owls on stumps are sooo cute. You ARE a great friend! Sweet score on the Barometer. I love those old Airline goodies.
