Did A Little Post X-Mas Shopping Down At Treasure Aisle This Evening. Picked Up Some Good Stuff And Took Some Photos Of Other Stuff. Wanna Check It Out? Status: Everybody Hold Hands So Nobody Gets Lost.

This amazing brutalist sculpture / centerpiece (?) was the first really cool thing we spotted today.  It was pretty cool but...um, what is it?  I like the base with all those Herman Miller / Brasilia looking bits braised together, but what's with all the wire bits...with nails (?) on the tips?

Before I Left The StL For Lake George NY (Our Annual Roadtrip Vacation) I Dropped A Few More Items Off At Booth 44 - Green Shag Market. Status: Stuffed!

I finally got that Shaggy Latch Hook wall art up and I found some great kitschy Paint By Numbers Jesus and Mary with Baby Jesus art to fill up those big white pegboard empty spots. Oh, right...the chairs. Just picked those up too! Pulled the chrome and (dirty) light blue Baughman style chairs and replaced them. I'm telling ya...I'm gonna keep it fresh up in here!

I Find The Survival Of These Cork Lamps Over The Years Amazing! They Seem So Soft And Fragile. Status: Still Here.

I can remember having an entire wall covered in cork when I was a kid. I remember it having a particular smell too. The thing about cork like this is that it is so soft and easily damaged. I'm really surprised to see these cork lamps still out there after all these years!

Wentzville Flea Market Last Weekend. 'Twas A Spectacular Day For Poking Through The Offerings. Status: Only Open Sundays!

Yea!!! It's finally warm enough to get up at the crack of dawn and drive 40 minutes to get to the Wentzville Flea Market...only to find a buddy of mine has been there picking through it for HOURS already!

Sigh....Anybody Wanna Go Over To AT To Defend Mr. Modtomic? Status: Sniff Sniff, It's Nothin'...I Got Dust In My Eye.

Mr. Modtomic was contacted my an Apartment Therapy contributor a few days ago and was asked if he wouldn't mind allowing the use of the above photo for a posting. "Sure", I said, with the condition that a link be provided back here.
