Here are a few recent goodies I've found:
 |
| Morgantown Normandie Smoke Martini Pitcher I love the shape and color of this pitcher, so I grabbed it without knowing exactly what it was. My twitter #thriftbreak friends confirmed my thoughts that it was made by Morgantown of PA. We've been known to enjoy a martini now and then, so hubs was kind of wanting to keep it. We decided that a whole pitcher might get us into some trouble, so list it I did. |
 |
| Heller 10" Mod Dinner Plates I have some others of this seemingly popular Heller plastic ware designed by Massimo Vignelli in the 1960s. It's not selling super well for me, but these plates are in such great condition I decided to list them and see what happens. Here's the link to my other Heller listing: mod heller vignelli plates, mugs, and bowls |

| Dansk Jens Quistgaard Board I was so thrilled to find this Dansk by Jens Quistgaard teak board. It is in amazing condition and soooo beautiful with the "staved" style (vertically cut pieces create the lovely visual texture in the center.) This piece sold in less than 24 hours, and quickly heard from the customer that she adores it. |
 |
| Dorothy Thorpe Roly Polies These also sold right away as they were priced right due to a bit of missing silver on the interior. That is the nice thing about these glasses, the silver is on the inside and the outside so any damage is mostly concealed. We have been loving getting all caught up on past Mad Men episodes, getting ready for the new season starting March 25th. It really is quite an amazing show! |
 |
| Mid Century Vase made in Isreal I don't know much about this vase except that I think it's absolutely beautiful! There are touches of lemon yellow thrown into the earth tone stripes which add a lightness I love. It is marked "Made in Israel" and has the signature "Rachel" on it along with another somewhat mysterious mark. I would be just fine if this beauty didn't sell...it's waiting on my living room credenza and looks mighty lovely right there. |
 |
| Frankoma Native American Mug This one isn't listed yet, but I thought I'd throw this into the post. Frankoma is one of those things that could sell, but might not, depending on if there are folks out there looking for specific lines. This one is from 1992 (which actually IS vintage according to Etsy...I must be old.) I see Native American and Aztec motifs being quite popular right now, so I thought I'd try listing it since it seems a bit out of the ordinary. |
 |
| Trucker Belt Buckle And finally, how can I not share this? Hubs and I went on a little hot springs getaway to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The little eclectic mountain towns here in Colorado are really something to experience if you never have. Picture little Victorian towns at 8,000 ft and above sprinkled with gun racks and dreadlocks alike. We spent some time in a pawn shop in one such town, checking out guns, taxidermy, elk hides, you get the picture. Saw this beauty in its original packaging and had to get it. Debating whether or not to put it in the shop...I don't think it really fits in as "stylish vintage for your home." But you gotta know some hipster out there wants this. |
