Catherineholm Lotus Bowl!

 

I was lucky enough to source a vintage Catherineholm vintage lotus bowl last weekend! It is so beautiful. If it matched my decor, it would be staying with me! The bowl is a great size, great for fruit or serving a side at dinner. Made from an aqua blue enamel and printed with the iconic lotus pattern. It is in the [shop] now!

Here are some links to more information on the Scandinavian company Catherineholm.

mid century modern lamps...

Here are two of my recent thrift store scores. I feel like I do not really have the place for these big things, but whenever I find them I feel like I have to rescue them. And at $14.00 for the pair...you'd be nuts not to.



I will have to purchase a new shade for both. If any one has an idea of where to get these said shades and what shape shade to even get for these beauties, I would be much appreciated.

More Mid Century Modern Maddess..

Another great weekend find. I am featuring this great pair of mid century lamps in my shop right now. They are in good condition, working, with nice wiring! Here are some detail photos.Also spotted this weekend was a pair of vintage wire wall shelves. I love the diamond shape and the cut out polka dotted shelf. Lovely!

Yard Sale Find of the Year

Attention Ladies and Gentlemen, this weekend I found one of my greatest yard sale finds ever! Behold: The coolest mid century modern planter. It has a scroll metal base and a lovely white ceramic bowl. What did this great find cost me you ask? A whole, entire $1.00 bill!I have it on my 1950s sideboard in my dining room right now. I am not sure if that is where it it staying or not. I love it next to the stack of books, some of my favorites there! My husband gave me three books in that stack for Christmas last year, all of which I highly recommend.

Shelter Dogs is another photography book full of amazing images of puppies and dogs from shelters across the United States. It is difficult to get though this book without shedding a tear.

On a lighter note, I adore Amy Sedaris' book: I Like You. Full of humor and fun imagery! I also love reading the negative comment on amazon.com about it! Tee hee!
