Thrift - Trail of Tears

Thinking that thrift might not ever pick-up. Just to many people I'm thinking same with estate sales which is why I skipped last weekend.

But I have been finding a lot of architect desk lamps lately! Pair of Luxo Norway LC industrial task lamps, see below. They are huge, weigh a ton and are missing the clamps. Perfect for a workbench. Also picked up the sis a 70's Trail of Tears signed leather belt. SOLD And another Belgium bottle SOLD

Saw a huge glass Vignelli/Heller casserole with lid with an equally huge chip in the rim, guess that's why it was still there.

At GoodW. found more plastic Colonial trays. Can't resist the colors! For Sale. And more Japan lacquer trays! SOLD

Thrift - Belgium Jars

Not a crazy day at thrift. Picked an orange fondue pot for my sister-your welcome. Worn Denmark orange spoon for 10 cents. Another Tiki mug made in Japan. For Sale

Vilac "Noddy" car made in France (found a wood Vilac apple bank last year) Can't say no to little wood toys! Ran into my glass guy, he mentioned he purchase a 1930ish mixer pre-electic for $25-didn't get to see it but I would guess it's a little earlier.

Three 1970s large glass apothecary jars-2 made in Belgium found at GWill. For Sale

Thrift - Arabia Anemone

Went to my thrifts today. From my old biddy store, little "Anemone" cup by Arabia of Finland designed in 1960 by Ulla Procope and handpainted by AR, I have yet to find out who the initials stand for? A lot of skill was required to paint the single tone blue. Photographs simple do not do the painting justice. While I originally thought that the cup might be missing a saucer it might be a stand alone mug? Confirmed by a Finn that there is a saucer to the cup.

At my fave thrift found tins from Belgium and England. And a diet scale from 1979 for my collection. Brightly colored Ulster linen tea towel "12 Days of Christmas" made in Ireland and never used. Sold.
