Thrift - Kaj Franck Origami
My sis is in from Dublin so we went to the thrift store. Found a chipped Kaj Franck Origami K F 2 plate. It was unmarked and is possibly a knock-off but at 50 cents I'll keep it for a while. In addition, I found an original Taylor & Ng whale mug and a pair of blue enamel Turkish pots. My sister found a cute little colorful plastic organizer made in Italy and a set of six NOS green melamine fondue plates made in Japan. Wasn't expecting to find anything today so we were pleased.
Forgot to take a shot of the 1970s red Coleman cooler we picked up, its in slightly better condition than the one pictured below (sorry borrowed the image from Ebay) We were surprisd to see they are worth some decent coinage on Ebay.

Green Garden Tomato Salsa
We had tons of green tomatoes from our garden this year so the hubs recommended I try making salsa. Wow! I only wish I had made this sooner!

Thrift - Dansk Iron Candleholders
Lucked out today finding three iron Dansk candleholders and a small Danish red wood candleholder. I should not have bought the five glass candleholders but I find Dansk so rarely.
I swear miniatures follow me around! Found someones bear collection. The brown fuzzy bear is from West Germany. The brown porcelain bears are vintage Japan.

Thrift - Unicorn Mug
After more than a week off I ventured to the thrifts today. Finds mights be getting lean now that the Christmas season is taking off and yes, it gets earlier every year as I often talk to retailers about this.
Found a Bull Taylor & Ng mug (really should have started collecting them years ago instead of selling them) A sail boat mug from Kilkenney Ireland for the sis - nautical and horse racing crap seems to be popular there in addition to those ugly little fascinator hats (not all fascinators are ugly just ones by the endless slew of horrible Irish hat designers) And last an unicorn mug by Audrey Christie (found the cuteness rabbit mug by her too)
That's it. Chow. Off to enjoy traffic free roads, thanks to the government shutdown or Obamacare.

Thrift - Scottish Wool Throw
It has been a rough two weeks fighting a rather nasty cold. Braved the thrift once but was forced to forego any estate sales. Found an Amor Kosta Boda heart vase (can't remember the designer at the moment) Swedish paper cut SOLD, vintage spun cotton picks from Japan SOLD and a large wool throw from Scotland.
