Season To Taste? Bring It On! My Friends Dansk And Quistgaard Gots My Back. But From Where Did This Emerge? Funny Story, That. Status: Freshly Cleaned And Oiled.

Lovely sculpted Teak don'cha think?  Oh, and let's not forget to mention the amazing graining.  But this heavy chunk o' wood ain't just art.  It's fer usin'!  Yep, whether it's grilling the hotdogs out back or boiling some Ramen noodles, you gotta have yourself proper seasoning tools. A Dansk salt and pepper grinder designed by Jens Quistgaard?  That'll do!

I Kinda Lost This Beautiful Jens Quistgaard / Dansk Lidded Pot For A Little Minute. Found It At Red Racks Thrift And Then It Just Disappeared. Status: Lost / Found / Tagged / Available.

I hesitated to tag this up and take it over to Creve Coeur today as these Dansk / Quistgaard pieces don't show up in the thrift stores all that often. Maybe I should be keeping some of them!

I'd Been Eye-Ballin' This Quistgaard Cheese And Cracker Board For Ages At The Green Shag. Half Off Sale? SOLD!!! Bonus: Dropped Off A BRNO Chair And Some Smalls There Yesterday Too. Status: Win / Win.

I stopped by the shop in St. Charles and The Green Shag Market yesterday to drop one of the Mies Van Der Rohe BRNO chairs in each and while at The Shag I of course had to snoop around.  There had been a Dansk cheese board there for ever that I had been pining over since it came in.  The vendor had JUST put up a Half Off sign and I pounced!

While Out Checking The Traps Yesterday I Managed To Snap Up Some Pretty Good Pieces. Plus It Was A Pretty Gorgeous Day For Driving 'Round. Status: Maybe A Big Score.

I know...more art glass.  But at least I can be assured that this one is hand made.  It has the "scar" on the bottom where it was broken loose after final shaping.  That, it was cheap and it's a really beautiful shape...how could I resist?  Plus I picked up a cool set of Quistgaard style candle holders and some beautiful watercolors by a local / yet widely known artist!

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.

Yesterday I Had To Work All Day So Today We Spent The Whole Day Today Scavenging At The Flea Market (With Nick And Girlfriend) And Out At A Couple Of Antique Malls In Columbia Mo. Status: Wild Goose Chase.

None of the above came from the flea market this morning. This lot is the consolation prize for driving out to Columbia Mo. in search of a Drexel Declaration china cabinet at Artichoke Annie's antique mall. A friend had seen it there a few weeks ago and mentioned that I might want to check it out so today I called ahead to make sure it was still available and after receiving confirmation we set off westward.

The Last Of The Summer Vacation Roadtrip Booty. I KNOW! "That's It?" Yup, I Guess I Spent Too Much Time At The Beach! Status: Back To "Work".

Not that I tried real hard but the thrifts, antique malls and flea markets weren't very kind to a Mr. this vacation. It makes me appreciate how good we've got it here in the STL. Sure, I can take a tour of a good number of our local thrifts and come up empty handed from time to time, but I'll always find something good eventually!

What A Timely Find! Just As The Cool Weather Arrives Mr. Mod Finds A Fantastic Fireplace Tool Set. Status: Available!

Oh wow...it got cold here in the StL.  I done turned on the heat...and that's sayin' something.  Wasn't it just like a hundred about three weeks ago?  Well...it makes for good snugglin' in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace...and I got just the tool set you might need!

I Know...I Said I'd Feature The Thrift Table From Yesterday's Thrift Haul, But It Seemed A Little Silly To Show That Two Days In A Row. So Here's Some Mod Candle Holders To "Hold" You Over! Status: Available!

This trio of wall mount candle sconces were found at the same thrift but the matched set pair were found a week before the middle starburst single!  How weird is that?  At first I was a little irate that I could only find the single starburst but when I got home and remembered the matched pair and realized how great it would go with them, my OCD issue was solved.  I also found some cool cast iron pieces.  Click through to check 'em out!

Finding Amazing Vintage Modern Style At The Thrift Stores Like This Jens Quistgaard Dansk Cheese Board Never Ceases To Amaze Me! Status: Soon To Be Available.

I've read on other bloggers blogs that one should bathe these teak cutting boards in mineral oil...or maybe it's baby oil.  Is there a difference?  Does this sound right?  I certainly don't think soaking it in teak oil would be a good idea, but it could use a little somethin' somethin'.

I Didn't Get Around To Unloading Frank This Afternoon. There Was An Estate Auction (Blegh) This Morning. Status: Scores!

Yeah, I know..."I Hate auctions blah blah blah", but c'mon...it was like ten houses down the street. How could I resist? Plus, once the auction got going it wasn't so bad as many of the buyers either got their fill or just left and it wasn't so crowded. I managed to snatch up this pair of Jens Quistgaard Fiesta danish modern iron candleholders by Dansk (along with a box of sundries) for $17.50. Not too shabby.

So The Sunday Flea In Wentzville Was Pretty Generous This Past Weekend. I Dropped Just Over $30 And Came Home Quite Satisfied With My Haul. No Super Scores Were To Be Had But We Didn't Get There Before Dawn Either! Status: Sets In Iron.

This lot, comprised of steel and iron, are just two of the five items I managed to sift out of the Sunday flea market in Wentzville. You've already seen the brass Nessen lamp and the brass bull statue. I've only got one more item that I haven't shared yet, but it's a bit of a project and who knows when I'll get around to That!

This Morning We Got Up Stupid Early To Attend The "Cornbread - Worlds Biggest Garage Sale". We Managed To Find A Couple Good Items, But For The Most Part...It Was A Bust. Status: Still...Some Real Treasures!.

This was our reward for dragging our tired butts up out of bed at 7:20am.  It don't look like much...but alas, some of these smalls are pretty good scores!  We didn't even know when we were buying them!  Can you guess which is the best find?
