Upsala Slojd Teak Tray by Jonny Mattsson

I knew this was a steal as soon no matter what is was marked in Goodwill. A solid teak tray made from a single plank of teak is pretty rare. I turned it over, made in Sweden, and it was marked $0.99! Went home, and did some research. It was an excellent purchase!

Gilbert Rohde for Heywood Wakefield

The chair passes the pepper test! Pepper (the cat) only sits in the best chairs :)

I saw this chair in Goodwill about 1 month ago. It was painted and horribly reupholstered. I told myself I would only buy it as a project chair if it was still there when it went half off. Well it went half off yesterday. It has been stripped to the original upholstery and sanded back to bare wood. Still a long way to go. The price was right at $5.50.

SCORE: Bostlund Lotte lamp Model 900

WOOO! So excited to find this Bostlund Lotte lamp. I love their designs. They are so clean and timeless. I was in a thrift store, bee lining way to the bathroom, when I saw it. My normal moto is grab it first, decide later. This time natured called. I quickly did my business, ran out, and snatched it. It was stressful. Things get nabbed quickly in thrift shops.
