Well, After Another Particularly Dry Spell (I Guess I Should Figure Out If It's Some Sort of A Pattern, Right?) Things Are Once Again Flowing. I Picked Up This Fabuous Chrome And Glass Pace Coffee Table After Work Monday Evening. It's Quite Heavy. Status: Available.



Nice gams, eh? When I found this table my first thought was "Karl Springer" but that turned up nothing with a quick search. Then I remembered Pace!  Not a fancy desinger but still a well respected name in the design world.

Dang, See Those Leaves In The Grass? Yup, Summer Is Over Again And Fall Is Creeping In. So What Else Is Sitting There In The Grass? Why Those Are Peter Opsvik Ergonomic Chairs. Weird, Huh! Status: Already Gone.

Somehow Mr. M lucked into a FOUR day weekend.  Unfortunately that first day (Friday) was cloudy and cool, but at least I found these fantastic teak Balans chairs, all in great condition.  Their very pretty blue upholstery, contrasting against the beautiful teak frames made up for the otherwise dreary day.

I Stopped By A Couple Of The New Neighborhood(ish) Traps Today Before Heading In To Work And Snagged This Beautiful Asian Junk Oil Painting. Had To Shoot It In The Back Of Frank, But I Got It Done. Status: Available.

This oil painting of an Asian Junk on a waterway isn't perhaps as old as many of the paintings and prints that I've picked up over the years, but it's definitely got the Mid Century vibe, and that's what's important when it's hanging on your wall...right?

Wow, A Couple Of Trips To The Thrifts Yeilded Some Great Finds This Weekend. Meanwhile, A Trip To The Creve Coeur Antique Mall To Pay My Rent Had Me Buying Like Crazy Too! Status: Loaded For Bear.

I'll admit it, I've got a weakness for decorator "How To" books.  I'll probably never see a book that deals exclusively with Vintage Modern, but that's OK...I like how many of these books weave Vintage Modern pieces in with traditional and antique styles.  Oh, yeah...and that magazine rack.  Pretty cool, huh!

I JUST Found The All Christmas Music Radio Station And Now I Got The Perfect Boombox For The Season! This Red '80s Magnavox Boombox Was Waiting For Me At The Goodwill Yesterday. Works Like A Charm. Status: Available.

Find your leg warmers, get out your Hall And Oates Christmas cassette tape, plug this bad boy in and make your holiday party special!  Yup, this bright red boombox could be yours!  I'll be dropping it (and a few other items) off at the booth in The Green Shag Tomorrow (hopefully).
