No, not THAT kind of vibrator, but I couldn’t help but laugh at it anyway.
It looked like a dead animal inside the box. Scary.
Apparently tray liners were considered artwork by somebody in 2001, and this thrift store agreed.
All from thrift stores in Metro Detroit last weekend.
I would so buy these lil’ kids chairs!
And this dining table (alas, no dining room!) Love the legs on this!
This would look perfect above our bed…Dan, may I?
All from thrift shopping today.
Look Magazine – November 3, 1970
Found in my Grandparents house, and I’ve saved it for years.
My father won grand prize in a Look Magazine contest when he was in college. We hoped while looking through the stacks of their magazines (found in a spare bedroom of the farmhouse) to find that issue. While it wasn’t there, I took home a tall stack of fantastic articles and images pulled from the magazines. Now I am re-rediscovering them all over again, and I will slowly share some with you!
Today I went to estate sale in Hamtramck, Michigan. I didn’t know until I walked in that the sale was of a fellow vintage dealer (still living). That made it a bit more interesting…
I was surprised and excited to run into my brother and sister-in-law just a few minutes after I walked in (Andy, say hi! – Andy told me he reads this blog today, which made me smile), and we caught up as we all went through boxes, racks and tables of vintage clothing, records, shoes and other stuff. Most of it was junk, but I did get a number of choice T shirts and these lovely wedding pictures:
I LOVE this dress! What a gorgeous bustline! And her nail polish is a fantastic color, isn’t it?
A truly Motown Wedding! The bride and groom are such a sweet looking couple…and I love the bridesmaids’ outfits!
Across the street was a burned out house, with an interesting art installation after the home had met it’s demise…
It reads “Speramus Meliora Resurget Cineribus” (Latin for, “We Hope For Better Things; It Shall Rise From the Ashes”), which is Detroit’s official motto. Beautiful! Does anyone know who made this?
Inside the house was a different story…
Piles and piles of clothing, added after the fact. Who would do this, and why? What a shame…
An interesting day, for sure.
