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.

Pair of Studio Pottery Lamps


It is hard to find a vintage pair of lamps, let alone a vintage pair of studio pottery lamps. These are in the danish modern style. They are signed but the glaze has dripped over the signature making it hard to read. They are a handsome set. From the Salvation Army

Print: Beckett Still Life II 24/30

I found this print in goodwill about 2 months ago. It is very cool and in a very nice (and expensive) custom walnut with chrome inlay frame. Purchased for $14.99 (I gasped too, when I saw the price. Talk about under appreciated.) Size ~17x21

Small Italian Bowl (Ashtray)

I am hoping this is Fantoni, but I don't know (could be tourist junk). It has a leather bottom. $0.50
Red Wing Pottery Plate

Handpainted Lotus Patern (discontinued in 1957) Purchased at goodwill for 50 cents. I see where Ikea gets its inspiration.
