Getting "Snaked". It Happens to Even the Most Vigilant of Us! Status Update: Gone as of 11/25/10 ::sob::

So I (and quite a few other "scavengers") spotted this beautiful Danish Retro sofa on Craigslist a few weeks ago. The Seller was offering it for ONLY $40!!! FOURTY DOLLARS....AMERICAN!!!

I'm Out of Town and In New Orleans for the Holiday. OK, so Maybe Most Folks Don't Consider Halloween a Holiday...But I Do! Status: well let's see...It's after Midnight and I'm in the French Quater...It's a Good Bet That I'm Drunk.

Ah...On the Road Again, just can't wait to get on the Road Again. Back down in New Orleans again.

Oooh...Chilly Nights just Beckon for a Warm Fire...a warm Mid Century Modern Fire! Status: let's see...one, two, three...yup that's a collection.

Can't hardly wait to buy some wood to burn up out here on the patio! Plus we gotta buy some wood for the real fireplace inside for the "for real" winter anyway.

Is it Ironic that I Can't Stand Cigarettes but I Can't Resist a Cool Looking Ashtray? Status: Unused...lately anyway.

Is it irony or am I a hypocrite? I seriously can't stand Cigarettes (though the occasional wiff from a quality Cigar seems to be OK) but I Love all the cool vintage ashtrays and match boxes!

Moving stuff around in the Garage yesterday..."Found" this! Status: Top Broke Into A Thousand Little Pieces & Base / Chairs Are Gone.

Now isn't this just a match made in heaven? Don't they all look like they were just meant for one another? Can you believe I forgot I had this table stuck in the Garage?

More Great Bedroom Furniture at The Salvation Army Thrift Store. Lane & Kroehler Dressers. Status: There when I left 10-21-10.

The Kroehler set has been at this store since I spotted the Brutalist set a few weeks ago. I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been snatched up yet. The other Lane set is a new arrival and I don't think it'll be there long!

Who doesn't like a Little Tiki with their Cocktail? While the Coctail Lounge is not a Tiki Bar, It is Sporting Tiki Accoutrements. Status: Collected.

Yes, these Tiki items have been culled from Thrift Stores, Flea Markets and Antique Malls both local and on vacations.

Old School vs. New School A V for the Coctail Lounge Living Room. Status: Pop in an 8 Track and Watch the Party Break Out!

For this evenings Lounge entertainment we have Vinyl, 8 Track tape, Cassette tape, Radio (NPR Mostly!), CD, MP3, and DVD. Name your Poison!

You Gotta Get Up Pretty Early In the Morning to Out "Snake" This Guy! Verner Panton Chairs by Vitra. Status Update: Gone

Ah, the classic (and very Classy if I may say) Verner Panton "S" Chair. Simple and Elegant, no? Combined with modern materials and construction techniques these attributes are, as they ever were, Timeless!

It's "TIME" (ha ha ha...get it? "time"?) for a Flip Clock Post! Status: I KILL me!

This little guy, a Copal, is the only Flip Clock I have that Doesn't have a radio. The rest; a Lloyd, a GE, and two Panasonics all are sporting tunes.

Let There Be Light...and there was light...and it was Fabulous!!! Status: Illuminating

We picked this beautiful Table / Lamp up at an estate sale on the World Famous "Hill" in South St. Louis a few years ago. I almost didn't buy it.

The beautiful weather of Autumn is upon us. We can finally enjoy our patios without all the Sweat and 'Skeeters. Status: Sought and Found.

Finding this set of Bertoia side chairs for my patio was a hard fought battle. I fell for the design years ago. I halfheartedly tried to pick up a set here and there from Ebay but only sets that were within driving distance. Shipping kills all the fun.

What a Picture Perfect Day here in St. Louis! Glad I have so many Cameras! Status: how do I hook these to my computer?

The last time I dropped some pics here of my "Proto" camera collection I said that I needed a camera that fits between a piece from the 1940s and the 1970s. I found a couple at the Wentzville Flea Mkt. a few weeks ago that fit the bill.

Brought more good stuff home from Belleville Flea Mkt! Status: Available Soon!

I just can't stop myself.  I bought this within 5 minutes of arriving at the Flea Mkt!  I'm gonna clean up the vinyl even though it's a little beat up.  Then it's on the market!

Some "New" Goodies that I Had Just Layin' 'Round Still in Bags! Status: Recently Seeing The Light Of Day.

I think (Secondhand) Hannah mentioned something like this on her Blog. Or maybe it was just a conversation we had. I can't remember exactly, but it seems like I walk in the front door after a day Thrift Shopping and just drop the bags to get busy doing something else, then forget all about the bags for a few days!
