I bought two pieces of furniture.
Today my friend Emily and I will go to Gladstone, New Jersey, and pick them up.
No pictures yet. There will be.
But I picked up a few other things at the thrift, including this brass cachepot:
I love the patina -- very bronze-y.
I love the design -- very Arts & Crafts, Greene Brothers, almost William Morris-y looking.
Well, at least I think so.
I bought it for the booth; I just may keep it.
Something else I am undecided whether to keep or sell is this:
It's not very old -- from the 1970s.
Which to someone my age is pretty much yesterday.
Creamy white china, in 3 parts -- base, tureen, lid -- and just so different.
Funky.
Like the 70s.
This belonged to Emily's grandma, who is downsizing.
So . . . have a lovely Tuesday, everyone! Emily and I will be nosing out other bargains in the good old Dirty Jerz. -- Cass

Great finds, Cass. Look forward to seeing the furniture. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteYeah, the 70s is not that long ago to us, but .... When I think about how as a child I thought the 30s-40s were just ancient .... that would make the 70s the dark ages in today's time. Maybe if I were a child again. For us, just yesterday.
ReplyDeleteYup - the 70's seem not so long ago, but for many of the people with whom I work, it is ancient history!
