Cowboy's And Indians. What Little Boy Wouldn't Love To Have These On His Bedroom Wall...Or In His Man Cave Basement Bar? C'mon, You Know We're All Still Little Boys...Right? Status: At The Shag.

Today I dropped off at The Green Shag Market, the red floor lamp I featured yesterday as well as the big blue cityscape print and this pair of Lloyd Harding western prints.  I found that the Broyhill Brasilia lamp table had found a new home but didn't have time to take a good look around the other booths to see what was new.

Say You're Readin' A Book...And It's Dark, What You Gonna Do? You Know What You're Gonna Do...Why Not Do It With Style? Drop This Sexy Beast Behind Your Favorite Chair And Chill. Status: Headed To The Booth.

What do you think...is it a Sonneman? I can't find another Sonneman with this sort of base.  Either way, it's a darn cool lamp and you probably need it in your home.  The plan is to drop it off at The Green Shag Market Thursday morning.

POW! How's That For A Pop Of Color On A Fine Spring Day? If You're A Long Time Reader You Might Recognize This Print...But This One Is Different. It's Bigger! Status: Lovely And Large!

Oh, to have found an original painting instead of another print.  I'm lucky enough to have all (but one) original paintings here in the Modtomic Ranch we call Lily (the Lily Pad...get it?).  Since this one is a print it goes to the booth.  Still, it's a rather striking print and would look right at home here.

One Of The Little Treasures I Snatched Up Over The Weekend Is This Lovely '50s Era Desk Lamp. The Bulb Included Even Works! It's Headed To The Shag. Status: Award For Years Of Service.

After the flea market on Sunday and the less than overwhelming take from that, we had to hit some thrifts to get our fix.  On our way to the Savers out in the county we found a new Goodwill.  Lucky we did, cuz I found this little guy waiting inside!

Like I Alluded To Yesterday, The Wentzville Flea Was Not Really Up To Par. It Was Such A Pretty Morning (When Most Of The "Action" Happens) That It Didn't Really Seem To Make Sense! Status: Ho Hum.

DSCN3412

I'm pretty sure that this big ol' bear skin rug was the coolest thing at the flea this weekend.  It definitely got the most attention.  It weren't cheap though, I think it had a tag asking $550.  No thanks.  Ever rolled around on a bear skin rug?  A small percentage of me thinks "yuk" but I've done it and I can tell you...it's the very definition of luxury.

Today We Managed To Create A Family Unit From A Pair Of Tall Black Porcelain Cats Found At The Flea Market And A Pair Of Small Black Kittens Found At The Antique Mall. Disparate Prices But All Were A Bargain. Status: Crazy Cat Guy.

DSCN3422

I really am turning into a "crazy cat guy", 'ceptn these cats aren't eating me out of house and home...plus they's so easy to clean up after!  I'm still on the hunt for some Royal Dux Bohemia kitters  but I have to say, finding all four of these today was quite a coup!

Haven't Had Time To Stop By The Green Shag Lately? Maybe It's A Bit Of A Haul For You. Wanna See What You're Missing?! Status: Come And Get It!

DSCN3424

I'll admit, I don't get down to The Shag as often as I'd like.  Such is life, so I understand if you haven't been there in a lil' bit yourself.  Here's some pics to wet your appetite!  Yes...that IS a Jens Risom desk.

Shag Artwork Is One Of My Chief Inspirations Concerning Collecting Vintage Modern Furnishings And Decor. My Buddy Dan Practically Begged Me To Take These Postcards Off His Hands! Status: Uhm...OK!!!

DSCN3392

Check it out...some are even framed for hanging!  And that's a ton of postcards, too.  Dan was gonna sell these at his garage sale but I just happened to be there picking up a table he refinished for me a couple of days before and got to snatch 'em up before hand.  Score!

I Picked Up A Set Of Two Ray Wilkes / Herman Miller Chiclet Chairs And Small Sofa A While Back But They've Been Sitting In The House Disassembled Since Purchase. I Finally Got Them Out Today And Cobbled 'Em Back Together To Get Some Craigslist / Blog Pics. Status: Available!

DSCN3373 copy

You might remember the Ray Wilkes Chiclet chair that I featured a couple months ago.  This is the same chair and it's matching Chiclet sofa.  I actually have yet ANOTHER Chiclet chair that I just didn't have time to gather up and re-assemble as well.   Just, I don't know...imagine another chair in there!

Ugh...Still Trying To Get My Watermark Set Up In Photoshop. Having Issues. Meh...I'll Get It Figured Out. Hey, Looky! A Lampshade! Status: Needs More Than Wants.

DSCN3369

I've been kinda slacking lately.  I know..."A lampshade?"  But they do seem to be becoming more and more difficult to find these days.  And what use is a cool looking lamp sans lampshade?  None!

My Posting Schedge Is All Off Again. Work, New PC And Other Issues Are The Crutches I Call Forth. AnyWho...Check Out This Cool Clock And Set Of Juice Glasses! Status: Small(s)ville.

DSCN3360

I only just got my Photoshop installed mere moments ago and the realized that I'll have to set IT up as well.  I just don't currently have the wear-with-all to do that just now.  I'll just do without watermarks for today.  The new PC is Fantastic but WOW...a 23" (high def) screen is huge!  My neck is getting tired from looking back and forth from one side to the other.

Last Week I Found Some Tasty Lighting At The St. Louis ReStore. That Place Is The Greatest For Thrift Hardware. These Vintage Mod Outdoor Sconces Are A Great Example Of What Can Be Found There. Status: One Cleaned Up - All Wanting Paint.

DSCN3355

I cleaned this one up just to see how it would look but for real, they all need to be repainted.  They'd look sharp in just about any color.  Think how cool one would be color matched to your front door.  Or just basic satin black, white or silver.

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.

DSCN3339

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!

Mmmm...Don't You Just Need A Crackling Romantic Fire Now That Summer Is Here? What? No? Then How About A Retro Cone Fireplace With Electric Logs? Yeah, I Got Ya Covered. Status: At The Shop!

IMG_20130527_174127

Not a lot going on in the world of craigslist over the weekend but I picked up another cone fireplace Monday and have already dropped it off at the shop in St. Charles.  Bonus, it can be used as a real wood burning unit OR just leave these electric logs in there and forgo all the mess!
