Text of the page (random words):
l stuff that i wanted to share one of the things i love to find is cool mid century lighting now the thing about lighting is that if there are any issues with the wiring you have a situation on your hands a bad one so i always make sure that the wiring is good and replace it if necessary it is a good thing my brother is an electrician because he is always on hand to advise me i have been looking for a cool atomic lamp for our bedside table actually i would have loved to have found a pair of lamps but anything was better than the crappy 80s brass faux stiffel lamp my husband was using did i mention he won it in a poker game well game on anyway i grabbed this awesome lamp at a flea market for 3 it was marked miller 1955 on the turquoise ceramic part it was also covered in mouse poop and super nasty yeah that bottom is supposed to be shiny metal i think i actually hosed it off with a pressure washer clearly it had to be re wired in addition to completely cosmetically restored i took it apart and repainted all the metal parts with gold spray paint instead of going to the hardware store and buying a 10 lamp kit i went to the thrift store and bought a donor lamp with a good socket and cord for 99 cents after putting it all back together and testing it out success it was time for the fun part trying on shades i may be a bit of a vintage lampshade hoarder i really wanted the larger tiered shade to work but it sat too high i may try again if i can find a smaller harp i ended up going with the green fiberglass shade on the right i actually like the look quite a bit and to my relief the light in the room is not actually green since we have a lot of green including the bedspread in our bedroom it works well my second lighting score was just the other day i went to a thrift store i haven t been to in a while basically they price everything vintage ridiculously high like 3x ebay prices so i just haven t bothered going but for some reason i decided to go and whadyya know i actually found a something i bought these two mid century modern pendant lights for a song they even have their original ceiling plates after doing a little research it looks like they might be by designer paavo tynell they would be so cool in someone s mcm house so i listed them in my etsy shop here s hoping katy perry buys them lol i did test them out and they work great now my third adventure in lighting is a little bit different no fab modern pieces here just trying to update a fixture on a budget we have a bit of a rustic vibe up at our cabin at least i have been trying to get that going and clearly this fixture above the sink that my mother in law picked out was not working for that look she picked out all the finishes for the place about 15 years ago after she retired from working at a bank where she was in charge of the appearance of all the bank branches i tease her that her house even looked like a bank maybe it s because i grew up in the 80s but i cannot stand that shiny brass look so now that the place is all ours i have been doing what i can to get rid of it but without spending a lot of i discovered rust o leum hammered bronze spray paint and painted all the shiny brass cabinet knobs last year i figured why not try it on the light fixture as well so i took it down lightly sanded it and painted it i left the frosted glass globes off entirely and swapped the bulbs for edison bulbs i think it came out pretty well and definitely cost less than a brand new fixture posted by susieqt at 2 34 pm 4 comments labels 50s lamps cabin etsy store flea market found objects incandescant bulbs mcm mid century modern restorations friday january 9 2015 a red letter day hello friends it s good to have you here i know i ve been a bad blogger and haven t updated in a while i hope you are still reading i have been getting out to the thrifts again after taking a bit of a break in december i just have way too much stuff and when i got the holiday decorations out i realized i have to clear some stuff out so a lot got donated things that didn t fit or had issues and i couldn t sell them for what i needed to get there are some that believe in thrift karma that is when you donate good stuff you get good stuff well i think that was the case with today s excursions i took a bunch of stuff to the thrift store and came home with some better stuff it was a banner day for mcm as you can see but first the pyrex as always i have not been finding a lot of pyrex lately mostly because i know some of the thrift stores i frequent have been putting it all on ebay which kind of sucks because that is what primarily gets me in the door right now if you put it all on ebay i have little reason to come and shop the rest of your store but some always slips through the cracks and dinnerware is a prime example of that the lime plate is actually a chop plate or a platter and i don t have anything that size it s over 12 diameter that s a regular dinner plate in front of it below so i bought that i would like to find more lime plates to mix in with my turquoise i love that color combo these turquoise melamine dishes are russel wright i love this style and have a few other small pieces but nothing close to the whole set it would take me forever to collect it most likely so i may let these go but right now the little handled bowls are getting a lot of use holding snacks for the kids at one of the thrifts i went to someone had donated a whole mickey mouse collection including a lot of older pieces from back into the 60s i picked out this gumball machine and will try to resell it in my booth we ll see how it goes all right i know you all are here for the finel bowl so i ll get right to it but first i did get a fire king blue heaven custard cup isn t it cute hehe ok so i have been seeing these online for a long time and loving them the graphics are so amazing on all the finel arabia bowls and the heart one is so iconic i read on the recycle ista s blog about her finding one after imagining she would and it got me doing the same thing i was reading her blog thinking that s so cool that she found one just like she had been hoping for wouldn t that be neat to happen next time i go into a store and what do you know there in the middle of the valentine s display it sat i have never seen one in person so i was surprised at how large it is but now i have one and i promise you i am already dreaming about my next find and hoping that dreams will come true all over again posted by susieqt at 8 02 pm 8 comments labels enamelware finel fireking melamine mid century modern pyrex tuesday november 4 2014 pyrex finds hello friends it s good to have you here as mentioned in my last post i have been finding and acquiring some really nice pieces of pyrex so my apologies to those of you who do not share my fascination with dishes this post may not interest you sorry but for the rest of you afflicted with pyrexia we will carry on i don t know what i ever decorated with before i had pyrex my friends and family always are shocked by the fact that i have so many pieces of pyrex that i can created color themes with them hehe frankly i m sort of shocked i can do that too fall themed display why yes let me get out all my red yellow orange and black bowls and casseroles the black and white casserole on top was my most recent pyrex purchase it s a jaj english pyrex haymaker my son saw a picture of it and begged me to buy it because he wants to be a farmer and it depicts people loading hay into a wagon and when a nine year old boy tells you to by dishes you listen so i did and promised him he could have it when i die lol i don t think i ve ever spent that much on a casserole dish and probably will never spend that much again because you all know i am cheap and would much rather find my stuff at thrift stores so this stuff i actually thrifted much more my style the big yellow bowl is called pineapple party and actually fades from yellow at the top to orange on the bottom it is really pretty i got it at my favorite thrift on a thursday then stopped in at a nearby rummage sale for the orange mugs and blue mason jars pineapple party is actually a chip and dip set with a smaller bowl and bracket i didn t have much hope of ever completing the set until i logged onto the pyrex trading group and saw someone had posted the small bowl for trade the very same day we worked out a deal and i had the set put together in just a few days it s funny how things can work out sometimes i also made another great trade that week and was able to acquire one of my most wanted pyrex pieces a saxony casserole i traded a couple things i had thrifted for it so the cost to me was reasonable i doubt i would have ever bought it if i hadn t been able to trade for it this last group is one of my best ever recent thrift finds i am lucky to have quite a bit of friendship by now and every single piece has been thrifted including this 475 casserole i have all the 470s but the 474 and the orange 442 means that i am only missing the 441 and i will have all the cinderella bowls add to that the divided dish and a couple of the much sought after red pixies which i already have and i am well on my way to finishing that pattern i am determined to thrift it all happy hunting posted by susieqt at 11 00 am 7 comments labels halloween pyrex thrifted vintage kitchen wednesday october 22 2014 halloween haul hello friends it s good to have you here well school is back in session and i thought i d have so much time to blog and list things in my etsy store and nope that just hasn t happened i honestly don t know how some of you guys do it but as usual there is always time to thrift and yard sale while the yard saling weather is still good and i have to say it has been very good to me lately i live in a great area for yard sales with lots of old people in older homes who are now in the process of down sizing and of course that means i am upsizing or acquiring more stuff hehe last week i was on my way to a church rummage sale which was pretty much a bust all i bought was a 50 cent planter and stopped at the most amazing yard sale and i hit the jackpot look at all that vintage halloween i have never seen so much all in one place and here it is on my floor some of these honeycomb paper decorations are amazing check out the scarecrows and owl and there was pyrex and pixies as well that tan stripe 401 is just what i needed to complete my stack of stripes i never find cute pixies around here so even though these are not in perfect condition they are most welcome i ve been having a good run on pyrex lately as well a few pieces found at the thrifts but mostly trading for some really good things a future post coming up on that posted by susieqt at 9 58 am 6 comments labels halloween holiday decor pyrex vintage halloween yard sale sunday august 24 2014 what a long strange trip it s been hello friends it s good to have you here well summer is flying by and i realize i haven t been around here a whole lot so we have some catching up to do i spent the last week thrifting some spots i don t normally get to so i have a lot to share my kids were at a day camp down in the area i grew up in so after dropping them off at 9 am i got to check out all my old favorite shops so i got myself a plan and made sure to hit the biggest stores first and then the smaller stores later on camp pickup was 3 pm most of my good finds at the larger stores were monday and tuesday morning after that meh it amazes me how some of these stores can be so huge one must be close to 20 000 sq ft a former big box store and have so little quality merchandise or perhaps that is just the age we are living in and the good stuff is getting harder to find i know it anyway on with the show this is my haul from that first big store on monday and tuesday mornings as you might have guessed it s mostly pyrex but i am super stoked about the blue fire king kimberly mug i have a collection of one of each of these in every color and this was the last one i needed it s taken me a couple of years to find one in the wild and i almost resorted to etsy a few times the black pyrex mug was one of about eight in the store i only bought one just to have again one in every color but now i am wishing i had bought them all they look amazing with my cinnamon colored ones and would be great for halloween displays speaking of halloween the cat thingy is a flashlight but it is missing its innards it s not very old either but definitely has that vintage look and for a buck it cam home with me the terra bowls are part of my leave no pyrex behind strategy and will probably go to my booth the verde 443 is the start of a new collection i just figured out that i have all the verde fridgies so now i must collect the bowls sigh these were from my next stop the opal hostess bowls were probably yellow at one time but i can t find any trace of color i ll hang onto them to mix into other displays i have found that even though opal aka plain white pyrex really doesn t do much for me it looks great mixed into displays the milk glass tumblers depict jack and jill tumbling down the hill they are actually made by hazel atlas and were part of a children s dinnerware set i can t really imagine the thought process that went into designing these for children i know my kids would be wondering what the heck happened to jack and jill here someone online referred to them as csi cups but the sheer oddity of them was enough for me to add them to my collection at the same store later in the week i found this awesome camp blanket it is a really strange size twin width but xxtra long it came in handy already when we went to a chilly outdoor movie on friday we could wrap it completely around the three of with room to spare i love finding camp blankets because they are beautiful and useful at the same time i think i have close to 10 now the only problem being they take up quite a bit of storage space so i just keep piling them up on the beds who needs comforters these are my finds from one of my all time favorite church thrifts they get good stuff and they price it well no 19 pyrex here the enamel bucket is so amazing i have already adopted it as my housecleaning bucket i feel like a depression era housewife cool stuff like this just makes ordinary housework a little easier see my ironing post on this topic here i also found an incredible vintage dress from about the same era in the store i always wonder if things like this were donated by the same person this little child s tea set is so cute and perfect condition each cup saucer set was just 75 cents did i mention that i love this store the primary blue fridgie was 2 50 also and yes that is a vera tablecloth once it gets a good oxyclean soak to remove some yellowing it s headed to the etsy store i think i might be the only person of my generation except maybe mick from everyone goes to micks who knows what that weird metal thingy is i ll keep...
