The rosewood table started as a wall unit cabinet. I purchased it (and some other pieces) for $15. It didn't have the wall brackets so I improvised by adding hairpin legs. The bowl was $3, Tray $2, and Blenkos were also $2.
This blog will document my second hand, mid-century, and designer treasures. I am a fequent visitor of thrift stores and garages sales. As I build my collection, I hope to encorage others to do the same. Thank you for visiting!

New Bowls
I picked up some new bowls
Nambe bowl # 563 (probably designed by Richard K Thomas) from Salvation Army
Hyalyn bowl designed by Herb Cohen. from an Antique Shop (GASP, I know. It was more than I wanted to pay, but I had to have it)
I have learned my lesson. Stick to thift stores and flea markets where the dollar goes further.

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.
