I've Featured The Treasure Aisle Antique Mall Before, But Something Was A Little Different This Time. There Just Wasn't Quite The Selection Of Vintage Modern That I've Come To Expect This Time Around. Still, For A Midwest Antique Mall...It's Not Too Shabby A Place To Shop. Status: Change Of Vendors?

I'm not sure if there a just a number of new vendors or if the current crew are changing their tune, but the stock of what WE like to find seemed kinda thin at Treasure Aisle this visit.  I'm hoping it's not a trend.

Yeahhhahhaha... That's What I Like To See! Cuz That Booth Rent Ain't Gonna Pay Itself. Mr. Modtomic Has Been Given A Warm Welcome Out In West County At The Antique Mall Of Creve Coeur. Status: Feelin' Pretty Good.

Yup, I like seeing those "Sold" tags on stuff.  I came in this weekend to find FOUR of 'em on some sizable pieces.  You guys know how to put a big ol' grin on a Mister's mug!  Some of these items had JUST been dropped off!

After A Year And A Half (I Think) I've FINALLY Invested In Some Proper Shelves For My Booth (#5) At The Green Shag Market! Status: Full-A-Goods!

Yup! Mr. Modtomic finally splurged on some nice brass and glass shelves to better display all the wonderful smalls (and apparently mediums!) that I've got down at The Shag.

Wood-Burst Clock? I'm Down With That! This Was A Craigslist Find From A Couple Of Weeks Ago That Needed Some Attention And I Finally Got Around To That Today! Status: Hung.

This Roxhall "8 Day" key wound clock was another late evening craigslist snatching.  It was down in South County (which is exactly Opposite where I live!) so I was lucky that the seller was amenable to meeting me after work saving me an extra trip to the other side of "town"!

What St. Louis Lacks In Vintage Modern Shop Grapevine Info It Surely Makes Up For In Seriously Fine Stock And Choice. So MoModerne Moves It's Headquarters Out To The County...And No One Bothers To Tell A Mr.! Status: New Address - Same Great Taste.

I guess I've nobody to blame but myself.  I have to say, I haven't been out to ANY of the vintage modern shop around town lately...and so why would any of these merchants bother to let me in on news as big as the moving of their store front...much less the opening of their Second Storefront!

Was It Stupid Hot Out, Did I Have To Haul These Out Of A Basement, Was It Way Too Early In The Morning And Did I Have To Shell Out A Pile Of Dough? Yes, Yes, Yeah And Yup. What A Mr. Will Do For Some Herman Miller / George Nelson. Status: Happy As A Clam!

And then I had to clean these and set them all up today out under that oppressive solar beatdown we call the afternoon sun.  Ugh, more heat and sweat.  And then, guess what...I had to break them back down and and load TWO of these back into Frank (the Focus Wagon) and tool them down to The Green Shag Market...

After Three Days Pickin' In The Sticks We Decided To Make A Special Trip To The BIG City And Hang With Some Like Minded Folk. Status: Good Times!

We were hoping to keep enough time open on our little roadtrip vacation to get a chance to meet Dana of Mid2Mod.blogspot.com and her Son-In-Law who operates the shop Mid2Mod.  It was an easy drive from Canton and, well...three days of walking around all day reeks havoc on a body, so having a few hours of lively conversation was a welcome change!

Wow, It's Turning Out To Be An Eames / Herman Miller Haul Weekend Here In Canton TX.! I'm Snatching Up Other Various Smalls As Well, But It's All Eames That's Filling Frank Up. Status: Still Got A Little Room!

I spotted this table still loaded up on a trailer last evening just as we were leaving.  I was hoping to get to the sale early enough this morning that I'd be able to grab it up before anybody else noticed it.  Well...things didn't work out quite like that, but they DID work out!

I Know...I Already "Did" Philadelphia PA. But They Just Got So Much Good Cheap Style There! Wanna Check Some More Out? Sure Ya Do. Status: Not My Turf.

I felt bad only putting up five items last time, so this time I dropped in an extra. Philly really has some good stuff. I bet a lot of get overlooked by the hunters like me too!

Mr. Modtomic's Been So Busy Since His Return From Chicago But He's Been Wanting To Share Some Photos Of A Lovely Shop Called An Orange Moon That He Finally Got To Visit While There. Status: X-mas Wish List!

Yeah, Christmas is coming up fast.  Luckily there are places like this!  Just look at all that lovely opportunity to get your loved one the Best Present Ever!  This is An Orange Moon in Chicago Il. I've been wanting to visit this Lynne's shop for years but only just made it this last trip during Thanksgiving.  It was worth the wait!

Looking For Some Cheap Style? Who Ain't? This One's For You Allie, CinciNasty Oh Hi! Status: Not My Turf!

Another river city like St. Louis Mo, Cincinnati Oh. was screwed by Chicago and the railroad barons of the time and had it's growth stunted.  Still, like the StL, it continues to thrive and well...has a great craigslist vein just waiting to be mined!  Click through and let's dig in!

More Weekly Finds From The Flea Market And Treasure Aisle. Status: Clock, Art, Tiki!

I actually picked up this George Nelson "Ball Clock" reproduction (by Verichron) early last week when I took some time off work and made a quick stop at one of the two awesome antique malls on Big Bend rd.  Both often feature great Vintage Modern finds but I only had a couple of minutes to kill so I made a quick run through Treasure Aisle.  Lucky me, I found this clock at a reasonable price.

Anybody Interested In Littering Their Joint With Vintage Modern Bargains? Status: Big Auction Sunday.

Gus, down at Vandeventer Vintage, is having a NO RESERVE (!) auction of nearly 100 vintage modern items at his shop located in mid-town. This could be a golden opportunity to plunder his well curated stock of furniture, art and lighting.

OK, everybody hold hands so no one gets lost.  Now click through and let's have a look around!

New Shop In The Midwest Alert! Stop By And Partake Of The Vintage Modern Abundance. Status: Weekends Only...For Now.

Mmmm...isn't this a tasty piece of vintage modern lounge chair beautificence?  By far this was my favorite piece to photograph as well as lust after down at Momoderne, one of the newest venues for us to drop some dosh on fabulous house bling here in St. Louis.  I just couldn't find a bad angle to shoot this from!  The only problem was getting a couple shots off before it got snatched up and taken home...things were moving fast at this inaugural sale.

Wanna Play Jax? Jack Wants Ta Play! It's Almost Time For The Nightmare Before Christmas Party Again! Status: A Mighty Fine Pair.

Things are coming together for our annual Nightmare party. I found the decorations out in the Garage last night. The tree will go up soon and Jack and Sally are showing up in more pictures lately. Yup, it's almost time.
