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!

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!
