One Of The Great Aspects Of The Green Shag Market Is The Myriad Of Styles You'll Find In The Offerings. Retro, Antique, Vintage, Classic Modern, Vintage Contemporary...It's All There. Status: Eclectic!

Mr. Modtomic isn't the only purveyor of delicious vintage modern amazing-ness. Just take a look at booth 28. They opened maybe a couple weeks after me. They keep the booth sparsely availed of items, but they are pretty great items!

More Changes In Booth 44 At The Green Shag Antique Mall. Out With The Old - In With...Um, More Old. Satus: Things Is Movin'!

I had to drop by the Green Shag Market again today to fill a void in Booth 44 as the Danish Style Leather and Bentwood Rocking Chair has found a new home.  Plus I wanted to post an update on the offerings since the Eames / Herman Miller dining table was made off with this week as well.

Oh, Now That Is A Classy Looking Vignette! Almost Like A Bottle Of Fine Wine, A Beautiful Goblet And A Fine Painting. Status: Ok, Maybe Not.

Some of this little group was picked up on the road while on vacation but I just picked up the big Garcia print today.  I forgot about the red glass chalice and I need to find a proper shade for the little black and gold lamp.

Enough Wheelin' And Dealin'. Let's Check Out Some Vintage Vacation Entertainment At Lake George, NY. Status: The Simple Pleasures!

When we roadtrip we like to keep it cheap.  Mostly.  You gotta hold something back for the big things like Para-sailing and Whitewater Rafting.  And if you got a handful of quarters you'll have just as much fun as those...and in the airconditioning too!

You Know...It's One Thing To Give A Friendly Bit Of Advice...It's Quite Another To Call Somebody A Crook. Status: A Call To Arms My Friends.

They're out there. You might walk right by one and never know it...until they contact you through the internet, where everybody thinks they can say anything they like about anyone they want. And craiglist is rife with the little Napoleon complex jack-holes.  If you've spent any time selling there you already know this.  And this is why Mr. Modtomic asks for a tiny bit of your time.

I Picked Up These Eames Shell Armchair Replicas From (Brasilia Obsessed) Dan During The Swank-A-Rama Rocket Century Sale, But I've Never Given You A Proper Introduction. Status: They Say "Hi!".

I've had this set of Eames replica Eiffel base armchairs available at my booth (44) at the Green Shag Market since I picked them up from Dan (the fella with the killer joint full of Broyhill Brasilia) just heading off on our roadtrip vacation.  I just had to pull them out yesterday as I wanted to install the Frem Rojle danish dining chairs into the limited area of my antique mall space.

Sturdy Construction And Good Bones But No Name. The Chairs Was Stinky But They Was Cheap. Status: Cheap Wins!

After a buyer picked up the Eames Aluminum Group dining table from my booth (44) at the Green Shag Market antique mall I figured I better get down there and install another dining table in it's place.  Since I was headed that direction anyway I thought I would pick up these smashing (OK, they WILL BE smashing...someday) dining chairs that had been put up on c-list.  Look, I was going that way Anyway!  Don't judge me.   ...it's true, I can't stop.

The Last Of The Weekends Estate Sale Booty - This Brutal Fireplace Tool Set - Was Found Quite By Lucky Happenstance. Status: Soon To Be Available.

After quickly wrapping up the Dorothy Thorpe chip and dip set (featured yesterday) that I picked up from estate sale #2, I started making my way home to get a few hours of much needed sleep. I am not a fan of leaving sleep on the table, but I spotted a green hand made "Estate Sale -->" sign at a corner. Ugh. Of course I turned around.

The First Estate Sale Saturday Also Afforded Mr. Modtomic The Opportunity To Pick Up This Unusual Hairpin Stacking Display. Status: Uh, What Is It?

This unusual stacking display was also shown in the photos of the same estate sale where I picked up the Orange Overman swivel recliner I went on and on about a few days ago. I was also given pause by the price initially but when I figured this was really 4 pieces, well...

I Went To The Second Estate Sale Saturday With Hopes Of Scoring A Large Set Of Russel Wright But Came Home With Dorothy Thorpe Instead. Status: Fail Score.

I had spotted a sizable set of Russel Wright Steubenville dinnerware all in grey at an estate sale Saturday that opened an hour after the sale where I picked up the Overman swivel recliner. I didn't waste any time at the first sale and got to the second sale about an 15 minutes before it started only to find I was picking up number 12. Hmmm.

The Estate Sale Scene Showered Mr. Modtomic With An Abundance This Fine Saturday Morning. Case In Point - Another Orange Overman Chair And Ottoman. Status: Available @ The Green Shag Market!

Yup, Mr. Modtomic got lucky at the estate sale circuit this morning.  There weren't a bunch of sales that "mattered" this morning.  I only had two on my agenda.  A third caught my attention on my way home and turned out to have some goodies too!  I pulled off a hat trick today.

Stopped By A Salvation Army Thrift Store Out In New York. Picked Up A Pair Of McCobb / Jackson China Bowls - Got A Whole Bunch Of Mystery Jackson China For Free! Status: Related?

I grabbed up this pair of Jackson China bowls designed by Paul McCobb at one of the few thrift stores we could find in Glen Falls NY (near where we vacationed in Lake George NY). I initially just grabbed the pair of bowls and was going to GLADLY pay the marked price for them alone. The nice lady at the check out MADE me go back to the dishes with her and suss out the rest of the lot. Thanks Nice Lady!

Maybe The Coolest Thing I've Ever Seen At An Antique Mall. Wookie Head Mount Spotted In Indianapolis Indiana. Status: Weird-baka

On the one hand, I kinda hope it's a mask....cuz a Wookie head trophy is just....not right.  Then again...putting a Wookie mask on is kind of...Hannibal Vader.  ::shudder::  But let us digress and take a walk around the Southport Antique Mall, Indianapolis Indiana.  There's lots of less questionable items to feast your eyes upon, promise!

Somehow...I Managed To JUST Squeeze The "New" Display Into Booth 44 This Afternoon. AND What's New At The Booth. Status: More Better?

I dropped the new display off today at my booth in the Green Shag Market along with a few new small items. I'm using the word "new" here pretty loosely. It's just "like" new! Don't you just love when you read that in a craigslist ad? Not new...just "like" new.

What Can $12.50 Buy At A Random Second Day Estate Sale? Some Mighty Fine Display Shelving! Status: Headed For The Green Shag Market.

The Girlfriend and I were driving home from breakfast and a somewhat fruitless visit to a few of the local thrifts Sunday when she spotted an estate sale sign.  I was ready to keep driving, but the sale was like right there on the corner.  I could use a better garden hose, so....
