Where did my new favorite portrait end up? In the guest bedroom for now…
Reminds me, the closet doors still need handles.

Thrifty!
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
Getting up early to go to the estate sale did have one benefit – I got to go to like 20 or more thrift stores on my way home. Thank you iPhone for your guidance.
I was hoping to find some spectacular things, but it was sort of a bust. Except for my new favorite not-ironic portrait painting. RAD.
This little walnut tray is cool and looks like a blank eye staring at you; I also got a little wooden apple storage thingy at the same store.
What did I actually buy at the estate sale? This little West German gray and green stripped vase. Talked them down from $22 to $20. Ugh. What a waste of time that place was.
I also got another tall gray West German vase and a little Hopi ceramic bowl. No big scores, maybe next time.

I also picked up a few other things while on the thrifty rounds. This ceramic lama and bull are hilariously weird and SO heavy. The bull is branded with with like a WS (I think) but otherwise unmarked. Love the crazy texture and blue lips, it’s like they are suffocating under all that ceramic fur weight.
I also picked up a cream Eames side shell chair on a low lounger h-base that needs a little bit of restoration love and a flokati fur pillow.
