What I Found

It seemed like I was a day late and a dollar short on most of the sales I went to this weekend.  Three (3!) sales I went to quoted the famous..."well I looked it up on ebay"  I suppose this is the one major drawbacks of those great pickin shows.   .....I didn't find that many good "smalls" for the shop, but got pretty lucky with a few larger items.

Large Modular Stacking Cabinet
This Large Metal Cabinet weighs about as much as an elephant.  It comes apart in 4 different pieces and you can customize how you want your shelving.  There is even a funny little "secret" compartment (down there on the bottom row, in the middle)

Teal Virco Plastic Molded Chair
Retro Floral Print Barkcloth
I found a massive quantity of this Barkcloth fabric.  I dont even have space to roll it out to it's entire length.  Even better, it is in flawless condition.  Perhaps I am the first person to ever unroll it at all.  :)

Lusterware Tea Set
This tea set is gorgeous and complete for 2 people.  It even includes lunch plates.  It's marked Japan on the underside and has a makers mark I don't recognize.


Does this mark look familiar?  I would love to find out more about this set.  Thanks!

    1. Rachel, the jury is still out on the cabinet. We want to keep it but don't really have the room, so it might go on Craigslist.

    2. Update- I couldn't resist the Craigslist calling. I threw it up, and priced it high (cause I secretly wanted to keep it, and it sold in a few days)

    1. Thanks Helen! I was pretty excited about the fabric when I got it home. I just wish I know how to sew :)

  4. Thanks Anne. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the fabric. Do I cut it up in yardage or sell it as an entire ream. Hmmm.

  5. Please sell it in one piece. Someone is begging for it as I write. Really, a designer will kiss you for it. So pretty and colorful.

  6. I've seen tea sets like that and love them, I never know their story though...I need to research on all mod and valuable antiques!

    Wonderful finds! Today I found a MASSIVE amount of small for my antique booths and art show vending at the flea market.
