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.

Treeline Vegan Cheese

A must try for nut cheese! The the hard cheese we put in pasta and the soft goes on bagels.

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.

Swedish Christmas Ornaments

Here is my personal collection of Swedish, Finnish, and Danish Christmas ornament and decorations. This isn't all of em either! I'm selling many of them just because I have finally run out of room. Please inquire thru my MisterTrue Etsy store if your interested.

Mostly German Ornaments

Thrift Fail - Culver Bar Glasses

Really loved these Culver gold bar glasses but the price was to high for me and I have a hell of a time selling them not to mention the utter hell of packing such fragile items for shipping.

Moms Estate Finds - Richard Lindh Planter

A few things my mom gathered for me. A letter file in orange, yum. Pair a Italian Christmas votives. A Dansk cheese board and a medium sized Arabia Finland planter by Richard Lindh. I have 4 or 5 of them now and should decide if I'll going to use them of sell them. Thanks mom!

Gift From Dublin - Erik Hoglund

Mom found this little Erik Hoglund ashtray for me in Dublin vintage shop. It still has its paper Boda Sweden label. You'll see it matches my Hoglund glass cat jar. It joins my pitiful Erik Hoglund collection of three (opps, forgot the two sets of candleholders). Thanks Mom!

Thrift - Karl Hansen-Bahia Print

Thrifts seem to be picking up in other words they don't seem to be so sucky. Todays finds are an un-used Dansk carafe SOLD, a second Migraines Gary Larson mug and four vintage house tins (one no shown). A Swedish Dala that has had its face shaved off SOLD. Passed on the USSR era globe as it had a bit of sun fading and I detest packing them.

Paid a pretty penny for this woodblock print by Hansen Bahia but loved the colors but the plans are to hang it on a wall. The second appears to be a large painted illustration from the teens or 1920s that I have no info on?

Thrift - Hans Agne Jakobsson Fail

Picked up a few things today. Teak Dansk paddle board SOLD and a Danish teak board. Swiss Reuge music box of a Moulin Rouge CanCan Dancer on top of a second Reuge gold music box SOLD. Two Glasbake soup bowls (I'm always a sucker for these!) SOLD. A Town & Country Pyrex casserole dish with a minty lid.

And weeks later found the base to a Swedish Hans Agne Jakobsson glass lantern after I gave the top to BitofButter see below. I swear I looked high and low for the base. Damn it!

Thrift Score - Lagardo Tackett Jars

Look what I found! Three Lagardo Tackett kitchen jars. Would love to keep but sadly they have to be sold. On top them sits a wood Pinocchio.

Four mugs hee hee. Arabia Anemone bowl by Ulla Procope that was expensive but I think I'm selling it. And a trio of kitshy porcelain fawns made in Japan.

Some tourist prints and a Dansk Kobenstyle paella pan that I usually stay away from but this one was in excellent shape.
