Haven't Been To The Green Shag Market In A Little While? There's Lots Of New Vendors And Amazing Treasures To Be Perused And Taken Home. I Dropped By Saturday And Took Tons Of Pics. Status: Ready And Waiting!

Wow!  There's so much good stuff down at The Green Shag right now!  If you've not been there in a little while you might not recognize the joint!  New vendors are everywhere and lots of new items abound.  So much that I ended up taking more than 30 pics!

Haven't Had Time To Stop By The Green Shag Lately? Maybe It's A Bit Of A Haul For You. Wanna See What You're Missing?! Status: Come And Get It!

I'll admit, I don't get down to The Shag as often as I'd like.  Such is life, so I understand if you haven't been there in a lil' bit yourself.  Here's some pics to wet your appetite!  Yes...that IS a Jens Risom desk.

Brass Lamps! Brass Lamps! What's Up With All The Brass Lamps?!?! I Just Picked Up Another Pair Over The Weekend. Status: Available Soon.

The seller broke one of the globes just before I picked it up.  Sad.  Not a big deal.  I was thinking about going with white globes anyway, but if I happen to find one smoke clear globe...well, path of least resistance and all that.

A Couple Of Small Items That Have Been Overlooked As Of Late. "Just" An Ashtray And A Large Amber Glass Goblet. Both Are Seriously Beautiful And Both Incorperate Colored Glass. Status: Lost And Found?

Can you believe that I've had the amber glass footed bowl since the summer Green Shag Market Parking Lot Sale and am only now getting around to featuring it?  At least the ashtray is a bit fresher.  It's only about a week old.

New Great Stuff And Whatnot Down At The Shag This Weekend. C'mon Down And See For Yourself! Status: Lookin' Good!

Yep, I'm late posting again.  T'was the Mr.'s birthday last evening and, while we didn't stay out too late, I did kinda tie one on...and I did get up at "stupid o'clock" in the morning to hit an estate sale.  I was just too wiped out when we stumbled in to get this done last night.

It's Been A Little While Since We Last Took A Little Look At The Booth Space. It's Gotten A Little Crowded And I'm Just About To Re-Arrange. If You See Something Ya Like Act Quick! Status: Due For A Change.

Yeah, the word "chaos" comes to mind. Funny thing though, I managed to shoe horn the pair of gold vinyl Eames / Miller Aluminum Group chairs in here after the Parking Lot Sale and they sold within two days! ::Shrugg:: Go figure!

Big Turnout, Lot's Of Vendors, Great Offerings, Beautiful Weather (Eventually). The Green Shag Market Parking Lot Sale Was - By Most Measures - A Success! Status: But...

Mr. Modtomic's setup at the Green Shag Market Parking Lot Sale Saturday October 20 2012 - BEFORE photo!

When Spending The Day Selling Vintage Modern In An Antique Mall Parking Lot, Mr. Modtomic Likes To Keep It...Luxurious. Real Leather And Chrome Steel From Italy Is The Only Way To Lounge. Status: Available...At The Green Shag Market Parking Lot Sale!

Oh yes, my good friends.  The Mister and the Girlfriend will be keeping it real at the Green Shag Market Parking Lot Sale today...real COMFORTABLE that is!  These will be available at the sale but I don't care if they sell all day or not.  I'll just be happy to get to sink into their leathery loungey goodness for as long as I can!

Geez, I Gotta Get This Stuff All Tagged And Packed For The Big Party Saturday. Party? I Meant Shag Lot Sale! But Other Than Getting Up At The Crack (Head) Of Dawn, It'll Be One Big Festival Of Vintage, Retro, Danish, Antique And All Good Old Stuff In General! Status: Stocked Up!.

So, see anything ya like? Anything ya just gotta have? Except for the Texas Ware Confetti mixing bowl (the Girlfriends!) it's all up for grabs! I been busy as a lil' ol' bee making up tags and getting things boxed up for the Parking Lot Sale this Saturday.

C'mon Down Saturday To The Green Shag Market And Pick Yerself Up An Instant Southern Comfort Barware Collection! I Just Picked Up This Big Ol' Box Of SoCo Loveliness And I'll Be Packing It Down To The Big Parking Lot Sale Oct. 20th. Status: Arrive Early For Best Selection.

After a wonderful craigslist snatching of fine Canonsburg dinnerware Saturday, I made the "rounds" in the St. Charles area.  I usually just hit the Salv. Army and the Goodwill but I decided to hit the St. Vincent while I was there...and BAM - a big box o barware score!

Still Out Scooping Up Smalls For Booth 44 AND The Green Shag Parking Lot Sale Coming Up This Weekend. Every Body Coming Down To Say Howdy? There Will Be Plenty Good Stuffs To Be Had! Status: Got 'Em Bagged, Getting 'Em Tagged.

A bit scary that, don't ya think?  Kinda looks like one of those daft seemingly drug addled children's morning programming props...or characters even.  But no.  It's nothing like that at all!  In fact, your Nanna might just have one full of candy proudly displayed in her home just this minute.

Mr. Modtomic Plucked A Plethora Of Prime Pickings This Previous Weekend. I'm Procuring Pounds Of Product, Predicting A Profuse Payoff When Pimped To My Peeps And Pried From My Paws. Status: Down With P.

Whoa, that was hard...but fun!  Remember that song by the Rentals waaaaaay back in the'90s?  Friends of P!  Anyway, friends of Mr. M should come down to the Green Shag Market Parking Lot Sale on Saturday October 20th and take all my stuff home with them!

The Mersman Table We Checked Out Yesterday Sold Fast Enough To Make My Head Spin! This Lane Trio Is Taking It's Place At The Green Shag Market. Status: Ready To Move!

Saturday found these three Lane side tables in the back of Frank.  They - much like the Mersman corner table yesterday - were kind of a mess.  Luckily it was sunny and nice out Sunday and I got right to work cleaning them up.  My original though was to save these for the Green Shag Parking Lot Sale on October 20th but I just couldn't wait.  They're in my booth at the Green Shag Market already!

I Just Got This Vintage Modern Corner Table By Mersman Last Weekend. It Needed Some Cleanup But I Found Some Time This Week Before Dropping It Off At My Booth At The Green Shag Market. Status: Already Found A New Home.

This was so dusty and neglected when I found it last weekend.  I could see that it had the potential to be beautiful again and fill somebodies living room with vintage modern loveliness...so it had to come home with me.  I just couldn't leave it behind.  It's classic and understated design means it will easily fit with any number of other styles.

Looking For Some Cheap Style? Knowledge Is Power In Nashville Tennessee Where We Will Be Trolling For Treasure This Morning. Status: Not My Turf!

Nash-Vegas Baby, Nash-Vegas!  Home of the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame, lots of amazing independent singers / songwriters and even a full scale replica of the Parthenon!  That's all well and good (especially the singer / songwriters) but you all know why your reading this and it ain't for no guided tour, at least not of the city.  But maybe Nashville's craigslist...now that might be interesting.  Let's have a look.

Did YOU Happen To Make It To The Rocket Century / Swank - A - Rama Lot Sale On The South Side Last Saturday? I Did! Status: Too Good To Pass Up!

We were supposed to be long gone Saturday morning...on the road to Lake George (upstate) New York. I've been longing to see the Grand Camps in the Adirondacks since seeing a special about them on PBS. Plus I'm hoping Lake George will be every bit the time capsule of family vacation fun that I've built it up in my mind to be!

This Was Sold To Me As A Scoop Chair...And That's What I Still Believe It To Be, But Somebody At The Green Shag Lot Sale Mentioned "Really Big Salad Bowl". Status: Not THAT Hungry!

No...I'm pretty certain that it's a chair.  It was purchased without any cushions and completely "untested" (I didn't bother to sit in it).  After I did try it out it became clear that the chair would certainly need some sort of cushioning.  Chrome and "Lucite".  Pretty cool, huh!

The Green Shag Parking Lot Sale Was (IMHO) A Success...AND I Was Good, Mostly! But The Dishes, They Was A Callin' My Name. Status: "Against Which, No Can Defend" - Mr. Miyagi

This was it.  This was ALL I purchased at the (what I'm hoping will be just the first) Green Shag Parking Lot Sale.  Success (ish)!  C'mon, I was there to SELL, not Buy!  But Rocket Century...those bastards...they had my number....and that number was M - C - C - O - B - B and T - E - M - P - O - R - A - M - A.  What?  Oh, yeah...not numbers.  Sorry 'bout that.

Last Week Was Such A Whirlwind Of Gettings Ready For The Parking Lot Sale That I Forgot All About This Stash Of Wentzville Flea Market Loot! Status: Tiki Haul!

Not last Sunday, but the Sunday before that Nick (Armadillo), the Girlfriend and I met up with Mom-tomic and Aunty-tomic at the Wentzville Flea Market. I would have liked to get there a little earlier but we had gone to the Skyview Drive In the night before and stayed for both flicks. AND I still had to get a post done here! So getting up early was hard. Still, we got there at about 8am!

So Ya Wanna Check Out The Rest Of The Vendors? I Didn't Have The Wear-With-All To Get Detailed Pics But I Did Get Everybody! Status: Might Become A Monthly Thing?

Oh would you look at these two!  That's the folks from Rocket Century.  Lazy bums!  Naw...it was just That Laid Back at the Green Shag Parking Lot Sale!  Something tells me they won't be lounging around June 16 when THEY will be hosting a multi-dealer "Swank-A-Rama" Swap Meet / All Vintage 20th Century Modern Sales Event on their lot on the near south side!
