Didn't Do Much Shoppin' This Long Weekend (Except For An Estate Fail) But I Did Pick Up These Couple Items Last Weekend. Status: Half Score.
I love this little print that I picked up at a thrift in St. Charles last weekend but it's not really in too good a shape. I'll probably still put it up in my booth since it looks fine from a distance and I'll put a cheap price and an "as is" tag on it, just in case someone just has to have it.
I was hoping that I'd be able to clean this up a little better than I was able to. Some of the detritus came
off but there is still some light staining on the surface. With all the different colors it's hard to tell in these
photos, but I know about it and I just don't feel comfortable selling it for much. It's such a shame because
I really love the subject and style. I've got nothing on the artist.
Ever seen Dorothy Thorpe style / Mad Men era beer glasses? I picked these up at the same time as the
print above. At first I wasn't going to grab them up as there were just three sitting together, but just as I
was walking away I spotted the fourth placed on a different shelf and turned right around and went back
for all of them. They're pretty cool but have lost a little bit of the rim decoration. I'll probably hold onto
these for a little while but I've just got so much barware now. I gotta let some of it go! Sometimes the
pickin's too good!
My mom just gave me my grandma's barware and it looks exactly like those beer glasses, although a bit worse for the wear. I've got cocktail glasses, highball glasses, shot glasses - but no pint glasses. I'll have to get them cleaned up and take some pics so we can compare notes/glasses.
ReplyDeleteI bought the Dorothy Thorpe style high ball glasses from you at Green Shag last month. I think you need to sell those beer glasses... :) Just saying.
