Looking For Some Cool Finds Up There In Idaho? Well Maybe...Just Maybe Ol' Mister Mod Can Give Ya A Helpin' Hand. Let's Take A Quick Poke Around The C-List And See What Kinda Trouble We Can Stir Up! Status: Not My Turf

Order yourself a large fries with that shake and thank the lord almighty for the great state of Idaho.  You know...'cuz of the potatoes. Let's get down to business and see what we can see on the Boise craigslist.

So How Do You Think One Gets Cast On Market Warriors...'Cuz I Think I'd Clean Up On That Show! They Used To Have Guest "Warriors" On From Time To Time And I'd Love To Get A Chance To Prove My Flea Pickin' Chops. Status: More Wentzville Smalls.

The challenge with that Market Warriors is that the contestants are buying from a flea market and selling at an auction...both places where people are hoping to buy low to flip high!  The mistake I see most is the contestants buying from high end focused sellers who really know their niche - to sell at auction TO high end focused sellers who really know their niche.  No wonder they rarely hit paydirt.

Again With The Flea Market! Can't Help It...I've Been Watching A Lot Of Market Warriors, Flea Mkt Flip And Antiques Roadshow Lately. And It Was An Absolutely Magnificent Sunday Morning. Status: Wentzville Delivers!

We managed to get out to Wentzville Sunday morning before 10am but I would have liked to have been there quite a bit earlier. I just know that somebody got ALL the good stuff before I got there! Well, maybe not ALL the good stuff. I managed to fill a backpack with stuff.

Love You Some Broyhill Brasilia But Having a Hard Time Finding Yourself A China Cabinet? Mr. Modtomic Has Got You Covered. Drop By Fleur De Lis - Home Source And Check Out This Big Guy. Status: Available.

Strike while the Iron is hot...that's my motto.  Just before ouf vacation I had the opportunity to pick up this lovely Broyhill Brasilia china cabinet, and even though I really didn't have the room for it and it's purchase would dip into our vacation money, I had to have it.

I Have No Children And Don't Plan On Ever Having Any Of The Crumbsnatchers...So What The Heck Is This Cosco Booster Seat Doing At The Modtomic Ranch? Status: It's Not...It's At The Green Shag Market!

I...Love...These.  So much so that I wish that there was a larger version for adults!  I'd so have one...or wish I could have one, or whatever.  Since there isn't I've had to make do with (strangely) longing for one of these in it's original infant configuration.  As of last weekend I will long no more.

You Might Have Noticed The Glass Chip Art In The Background Of A Photo From A Couple Days Ago. Uhm...That Was Just A Preview...Is What That Was...Is What It Was. Status: Featured For Real!

Just another little lot of smalls picked up here and there.  The glass chip art was a local find but the atomic teacup and tiki salt and pepper shakers are from out of town.  The art is getting tagged up but the rest is just for little ol' me.

Can Mr. Modtomic Ask A Favor Of His Readership? Craigslist Is Rife With Mattress Dealers Who Are Constantly Spamming The "Furniture By Owner" Section And I'm Wondering If And How Quickly We Can Maybe Flag One Of Them Off.

Click here to see all the ads this spammer is dropping in the Furniture By Owner section.  Dealers like this have an entire section dedicated to them Because they were overloading the casual sellers and making craigslist useless.  Please take a moment to Flag all this spammer's ads.  It shouldn't take long and the more time this business gets flagged the easier it will be to flag the ads off.  Flags are cumulative and never go away, but I bet if we make it difficult enough for this guy to keep ads up he'll go away!

Thanks so much in advance.

A Few Years Ago The Girlfriend And I Stopped At A North City Thrift Shop And I Scored A Cool Mod Rotary Phone Which Has Since Found A New Home Via The Green Shag. Yesterday I Stopped In Again And Scored A Fantastic Pair Of Kem Weber Lounge Chairs! Status: Mid Cleanup.

First thing I do in the morning after clearing Mr. Sandman's leavings is to do a quick check of craigslist on my phone.  You morning people snake so much good stuff while Mr. Modtomic is still dreaming about finding $20 Knoll Barcelona chairs at a flea market.

While At The Green Shag Last Weekend I Found This Pair Of Metlox Teacups And Just Had To Have Them. It's Great To Have Yet Another Vendor Who Deals In Vintage Modern In The House! Status: The More The Merrier!

I spied this pair of Metlox Freeform teacups over a week ago in Hannah's booth when I was down at The Shag doing some booth maintenance. I was going to just grab them up right then, but it slipped my mind. Since I was there again this last weekend I went ahead and grabbed them then. Now I've managed to collect a couple of pieces of each of the the three related Metlox patterns!

The Girlfriend Decided That We Needed New Phones So We "Upgraded" Over The Weekend. I Decided That Today I'd Post This Lot Of Smalls Entirely From The New Gadget. Status: Wonky Pic Sizing!

Wide screen photo dimensions aside, the new Samsung phone is easier to post from than the "old" LG. I don't actually do many different things with my phone so I don't download any apps, but what I do do with it I do A LOT. Getting a new phone is, as a result, quite a stressful situation. This one seems to be working out so far with only a few hiccups here and there.

Another Little Motel We Stayed At For A Single Evening While In Florida. This One - The Pelican Post - Was In Brandenton Beach FLA And Was Perfectly Situated Between The Beach And The Bay. Status: Cute As A Button!

We stopped here just before sunset actually just looking for a place to eat and got suckered by the laid back attitude of the area and the drop dead gorgeous beach.  Finding this little reasonably priced motel didn't hurt either!

This Weekend We Finally Got Back Out To The Local Thrifts And Oh Was It A Nice Welcome Home! We Made A Quick Pass Of Six Local Thrifts And Brought Home Plenty. Status: First Lot.

I don't know if perhaps the reason we didn't feel like we were finding much at the thrifts and fleas over vacation was because there just wasn't much to be had or because we just didn't know the hunting grounds.  Either way, it's nice to be back on familiar turf!

Looking For One Of Those Sweet Gondola Style Daybed Sofas For Your Swank Joint? Check Out This Choice Unit At The Green Shag! Status: This And A Lot More New Stuff Available.

Dag, check out the sofa!  Nice right?  Wish it was mine to sell...'cuz I wouldn't!  It's got new foam in the seat too so it's nice a firm.  Note also that the attached side tables are reversible from wood grain Formica to white. These are kinda hard to find so if you think you might be in the market...better get down there and see if it's still available.  Just Sayin'!

This Is What Happens When A Modtomitrist Starts Hanging Out In Antique Shops And Antique Malls And Buys Antique-y Stuff For His Mom's Part Of Their Shop! Status: Available!

Uhhh...that ain't Modern OR Atomic age. What the What? 'Tis true, Mom-tomic has been such a bad influence on me! It's all good though, 'cuz when the craigs-gods fail to deliver an abundance of vintage modern upon me I can still find a good flip now and then.

Sadly, Not All Roadside Motels Make It. This One In Florida Near The Suwannee River Must Have Been Abandoned Many Years Ago. Still, There Is A Certain Beauty To The Decay. Status: Long Gone.

Nature always wins. Try as we might, it's a losing battle. One only need to look at our driveway to see it's true. Weeds and grass grow wildly in the cracks between the concrete slabs...and we drive on it EVERY DAY! Once, the Girlfriend and I had a debate / disagreement while watching I Am Legend (Will Smith remake of Vincent Price movie Last Man On Earth) concerning how quickly grass would take over the streets and whatnot.
