Mine looks like it's made of copper and the fish "bobs" along in the seaweed. I was going to ditch it in my big Spring clean...might keep it for a while longer.Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258543009688502584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-46125357680720296712011-09-12T09:59:48.493-05:002011-09-12T09:59:48.493-05:00Things have been "dryer" than usual for ...Things have been "dryer" than usual for me, as well. However, for the vintage stores the pickings have been great; I've seen a LAGRE uptick in their stock.

There were a few small bits, namely a Brasilia headboard, Selig sofa, and a Sputnik lamp, but all were overpriced. I do have a set of American of Martinsville end tables that I'm picking up this afternoon though. You win some. You lose some.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-4101660617926919972011-09-12T06:27:59.428-05:002011-09-12T06:27:59.428-05:00I can't say there ever was a plethora of stuff...I can't say there ever was a plethora of stuff here but once in awhile I come across it and it is a thrill. This is a dying area, no cities, no jobs, population is dying, young 'uns are leaving and so what I get a lot of is 20s-30s. I think we are pretty untapped here in comparison to other areas (shocks me people actually fight over stuff, LOL!). So far I think I am the only one really digging for mod here. Now the city, which I went to last Sat? Yah, majorly picked over and my beloved pyrex was too high priced for the most part. So someone over there got the memo.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722948679329895792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-62169406848142504232011-09-12T02:34:02.788-05:002011-09-12T02:34:02.788-05:00Maybe as garage sale weather winds down, pickings ...Maybe as garage sale weather winds down, pickings get slimmer. I'd think that right after new years, and spring cleaning time would be the peaks.<br /><br />I think a lot of that late 80s- most of the 90s neo deco is going to be the next thing people will get excited about. All I know is the goodwill near me is flooded with wavy CD racks and the like, so it's only a matter of time before those things become hip. Still, those won't have a place in my house either.Nick Klaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531610163874373547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-36919893664518406302011-09-12T00:50:57.189-05:002011-09-12T00:50:57.189-05:00The dry spells seem to be cyclical in our area.

We've been finding a few things locally, but we've also been doing a lot of buying out of state.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.com
