Rosewood Side Table, Johansfors Bowl, Blenko Candle Holders, and Kjeni Teak Tray

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.

I just picked this up at the local flea for a cool fiver. I believe it to be by Erik Hoglund although I cannot find this specific model on the internet. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Lobmeyr Crystal Chandelier






I picked this up at a flea market. It took hours to clear and it still is a little dirty. It was missing 2 prisms and had some broken beads. Luckily, I was able to source replacement parts for little money. :) All in all, quite a bargain. Often attributed to Sciolari, but it is made by J. and L. Lobmeyr.

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.
