New Stuff!

Oh, how I love a good dress form.  This one is covered in soft silk and has a really cool metal stand.  Swoon.  If it makes it to the River Market Antique Mall, $98.

More cool stuff.  The gas mask pouch is $24.

I have non working instruments all over the house that I couldn't play if they were in great shape.  So much personality!  This is a Menzenhausers Zither Guitar, $86.

Such a Colonial looking pewter candle sconce, $56.

This five-arm chandelier has some cool art deco features, $110.

I also picked up some things to keep!  I love a good, old, threadbare rug.  Perfect for the half bath.

I collect old group photos like this Victorian era Tri Delt class.  Everyone is so slim and trim and the collars are high.  No beer bongs or marijuana being enjoyed in THIS sorority!

Step Into My Parlor . . .

I met a man named Craig the other day at the River Market Antique Mall.  He has a booth just near mine and has been at the mall for about eight years.  We talked about some interesting stuff and when he showed me pics of his home all done up for Halloween, I knew he was my kind of people.  I like to decorate, but Craig and his partner go ALL OUT!  These pics are from his home, but you can find Craig's treasures at the River Market Antique Mall, second floor, straight ahead, booth on the end of the second row right across from the glass cases.

Craptastically Yours

It's fun to go treasure hunting and find off-the-wall, really bad stuff like this "Elvis" bust.

Barb's Bargains.

 Painted shells.

This old cash register was really cool.  There were some tickets still attached and it was hard to tell what kind of business it was used in - maybe a gas station?

That's it!  Elle should have been a nurse.

My grandmother and aunt had these exact glasses when I was growing up and my aunt drank Dr. Pepper out of them.  I used to love to watch her put her makeup on and smoke cigarettes.

This gypsy boy and girl are headed to the Mission Road Antique Mall.

 As is the biscuit tin.

Cool little garden bench or shelf.

I loved the beat up nature of this cherb mirror.

This tin is destined for a "pinup" mosaic.

I was in desperate need for buttons and found some jars.

Future chalk holders for mosaic chalk boards.

Love it!!!

Thanks so much to Todd and Trever for opening their home to everyone for the River Market Antique Mall holiday dealer party. In a word, their home was AMAZING.













And Andy ran away with first prize as sharpest dressed in my book . . .
