I went thrifting on Saturday to avoid working on the guest bedroom. Picked up a few things, including this above shiny lamp. It’s definitely vintage, with some pitting on the chrome and the electrical looks like wonky 1960’s.
As I was carrying it around the Salvation Army I had four or five people stop me and tell me it was a very cool lamp. So officially, by unofficial polling at the SA, it is “cool”. I think it looks like vertebrae.
Now the goal is to find a spot for it and also a large drum shade. Which is like IMPOSSIBLE – you know what I mean if you’ve ever needed a nice cheap drum shade.
It was also vintage Foo Dog day. Both are signed and marked 69′, which I found a little strange. Especially since they came from different stores…spooky and mystical.
I know the Foo Dog thing is dead after it was uber trendy years ago, but I can’t pass up vintage ceramics. Plus they are awesomely creepy and scare Iggy.
Speaking of vintage ceramics. Check it.
I love this little girl candle holder – you shove it right in her head. Brutal.
She does has a bit of a Lisa Larson vibe, I wonder what she could be…
More studio pottery.
A Native American pot and a pretty bad one at that. It’s signed James Benally – Navajo. I’ve been digging Native American pottery, but this piece looks more Santa Clara than Navajo. Weird.
They all ended up in the dining room, where the ceramic collection is starting to get a bit out of control.
I still want so very much more.
